Vehicle Highlights

Chevrolet's minivan was what GM called a "crossover sport van." Uplander used the extended-length body from Chevy's 1997-2004 Venture minivan, but received an SUV-flavored nose and grew slightly in length, wheelbase, and height. It retained a 4-speed automatic transmission, but replaced Venture's 185-hp 3.4-liter V6 with a 200-hp 3.5 V6. Uplander offered front-wheel drive in base, LS, and uplevel LT trims. All-wheel drive was available only on LT models. GM's Stabilitrak traction/antiskid control was optional on front-drive LT models. All models have antilock 4-wheel disc brakes. Front side airbags with head and torso protection were available, but full-length curtain side airbags were not. Every Uplander came with OnStar assistance, air conditioning, power windows and locks, and rear DVD entertainment. Also standard were 2nd-row bucket seats, 17-inch wheels, sliding rear side doors, and 3-row seating for seven. Power sliding doors were available. The 3rd-row seat was a 50/50 split bench that folded flat above the cargo floor. All 2nd- and 3rd-row seats could be removed. A standard roof-rail system offered optional snap-on storage modules. A remote starting system that operates from the keyfob was also available. Uplander shared its basic design with the Buick Terraza, Pontiac SV6, and Saturn Relay.
