Chevrolet Uplander
The Chevrolet Uplander is a minivan introduced by the Chevrolet division of General Motors, replacing the Venture and Astro. Although introduced for the 2005 model year, it overlapped with the final model years of the Venture (on which the Uplander is heavily based) and Astro. It is built on the same platform as the Saturn Relay, Buick Terraza, and Pontiac Montana SV6.
Of the four vehicles sharing this platform, there are few differences. The most significant of these is the offering of an integrated child seat in Chevrolet's LS model and that, in the US market, the Chevrolet Uplander is offered in two wheelbases and a cargo version. Suggested retail price for the Uplander ranges from US$21,250–33,795, depending on options.
The model is exported to Canada, Chile, and Mexico.
The 2005 Uplander uses a 3.5 L High Value 3500 LX9 V6 that generates 200 hp (149 kW) and 220 ft·lbf (298 N·m). The van is built near Atlanta, Georgia. On November 21, 2005, GM announced that it would close the Doraville, Georgia assembly plant, which produces the Uplander, in 2008.
The four minivans all share a common platform and come equipped with a standard MP3 CD player. The Uplander and its siblings are all similarly styled and try to hit the "crossover" vehicle styling with its elongated front fascia.
The minivans also share general exterior styling with the previous generation of minivans.
