The 2008 Chevrolet Uplander gets no major changes as it heads into what is likely its final model year. Uplander remains the only minivan GM makes. Similar Buick, Saturn, and Pontiac versions have all been discontinued. A regular base model comes in LS trim and is 8 inches shorter in wheelbase than extended-length models. Extended versions come in LS and LT trims. All have a 240-hp 3.9-liter V6 engine that can run on gasoline or E85 ethanol fuel. A 4-speed automatic transmission is standard. Available safety features include ABS, traction control, antiskid system, and side airbags. Uplanders seat seven via 2nd-row buckets and a 50/50 split 3rd-row bench that folds flat atop the cargo floor. All these seats are removable. Power operation for one or both sliding side doors is standard or optional, depending on model.
