Year to Year Changes
2000 Oldsmobile Alero:
A 5-speed manual transmission supplied by Getrag was available for 2000. "GL" models came in three levels: 1, 2, and 3, the latter equipped with the V6 engine. Manual shift was standard on GX and GL1 versions, with automatic an option. Three child-seat anchors on the rear parcel shelf were new this year. A new Sport package for GLs included the firmer performance suspension, previously reserved only for the GLS, including 16-inch alloy wheels and wider tires.
2001 Oldsmobile Alero:
Alero's V6 engine was more widely available this year, newly optional for the GL and GL2, and additional standard equipment was installed. The GL3 edition was dropped. GX models gained power windows, cruise control and a standard CD player. The GL1 added keyless remote entry, while the GL2 gained a sport suspension and rear spoiler. In December 2001, General Motors announced that the Oldsmobile brand would begin a phaseout, but Aleros continued into the 2002 model year.
2002 Oldsmobile Alero:
GX and GL1 models got a 140-hp 2.2-liter 4-cyl engine. It replaced the 150-hp 2.4, which had lower EPA fuel-economy ratings.
2003 Oldsmobile Alero:
Available XM satellite radio and deletion of standard antilock brakes on lower-line models were the only significant changes for 2003.
2004 Oldsmobile Alero:
Alero remains unchanged for 2004.
