2006 Chevrolet Uplander Overview

Introduction

The Chevrolet Uplander holds its own amongst stiff competition in passenger comfort and flexibility, not to mention the gizmos buyers increasingly expect in their minivans.

The Uplander comfortably seats up to seven passengers. There are two basic models, sharing the same 121.1-inch wheelbase, standard 3.5-liter overhead valve V6 engine, four-speed automatic transmission and 17-inch tires and wheels. All-wheel drive is optional. The Uplander LS is the entry level model and has the 201 hp (2WD) / 196 hp (AWD) 3.5-liter engine. The Uplander LT is more elaborately equipped trim. Either trim can also be equipped with a more powerful 240 hp 3.9-liter V6 optional engine. Safety features include front passenger side-impact airbags standard on the LT and optional on the LS. Front airbags, a one-year subscription to OnStar, and four-wheel anti-lock brakes come standard on all trims. There are optional side-impact airbags for the second row seats available.

For 2006, The Chevrolet Uplander dropped its base model, added a new more powerful engine option, and made side-impact airbags optional.
