2005-2007 Buick Terraza Review
Buick received its first minivan for 2005. Terraza shared its basic design with the 2005 Chevrolet Uplander, Pontiac Montana SV6, and Saturn Relay. All basically added an SUV-style nose to the 1997-2004 GM minivan design to create what GM dubbed the "crossover sport van." Terraza was the costliest, most luxurious version, and was the only one to come standard with load-leveling suspension. Terraza offered CX and uplevel CXL models. There was one body length and seats for seven via folding/removable 2nd-row bucket seats and a 50/50 fold-flat 3rd-row bench. A power sliding passenger-side door was standard on CX; CXL added a power driver-side door, which was optional on CX. Terraza used a 200-hp V6, 4-speed automatic transmission, and either front- or all-wheel drive. Front-drive models had GM's Stabilitrak traction/antiskid control. All models came with 4-wheel antilock brakes, 17-inch wheels, and OnStar assistance. Front side airbags providing head and torso protection were optional on CX and standard on CXL, but curtain side airbags weren't offered. Also standard were a CD/MP3 player, DVD entertainment, and a roof-rail system with available snap-on storage modules. Rear air conditioning and a rear cargo organizer were optional on CX, standard on CXL. CXL also added leather seating surfaces and rear obstacle detection. Among the options for both models were satellite radio and a remote starting system that operated from the keyfob.
Year to Year Changes
2006 Buick Terraza: Available side airbags for 2nd-row passengers marked 2006 for Buick's minivan. Terraza also was slated to receive a 235-hp 3.9-liter V6 as an option during the model year. Buick has said, however, this engine would debut in 2007 models.
2007 Buick Terraza: Terraza loses its all-wheel-drive model but gains more power for 2007. Terraza is front-wheel drive and comes in CX, new-for-2007 CX Plus, and top-line CXL models. All have a 240-hp 3.9-liter V6 engine that replaces a 201-hp 3.5 V6.
