2005-2007 Saturn Relay: Overview

Vehicle Highlights

The Saturn division of General Motors got its first minivan for 2005. Relay shared its basic design with the 2005 Buick Terraza, Chevrolet Uplander, and Pontiac Montana SV6. All basically added an SUV-style nose to the 1997-2004 GM minivan design to create what GM dubbed the "crossover sport van." Relay came in trim levels labeled 2 and 3. 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. Power sliding side doors were available. Relay used a 200-hp V6 and 4-speed automatic transmission, and came with front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. Available on front-drive models was traction control and GM's Stabilitrak antiskid system. Antilock 4 wheel disc brakes, 17-inch wheels, and OnStar assistance were standard. Front side airbags were available, but curtain side airbags weren't offered. Also standard were a CD/MP3 player, DVD entertainment, and a roof-rail system with optional snap-on storage modules. Rear heating/air conditioning was optional on 2, standard on 3. Optional on both were satellite radio and a remote starting system that operated from the keyfob.
