2007 Buick Terraza: Overview

Vehicle Highlights

Terraza loses its all-wheel-drive model but gains more power for 2007. Terraza shares its basic design with the Chevrolet Uplander and Saturn Relay. It's the costliest, most luxury-oriented of the group. 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. A 4-speed automatic remains the only transmission. ABS and traction/antiskid control are standard. Terraza seats seven. It has 2nd-row bucket seats that fold and remove, and a 50/50 3rd-row bench that folds flat atop the cargo floor. Front and 2nd-row side airbags that provide head and torso protection are standard on CXL, optional on CX Plus, unavailable on CX. Curtain side airbags are unavailable. Load-leveling suspension and DVD entertainment are standard on CX Plus and CXL. Power operation for one or both sliding side doors is standard or optional depending on model. Rear obstacle detection is also available. Terraza's performance and accommodations mirror those of similarly equipped Uplanders.
