2007 Chevrolet Uplander

Minor changes to the vehicle were made on the 2007 Chevrolet Uplander from previous years, although a small change in the lineup brought some great improvements for the vehicles.

The 3.5L V-6 engine was dropped from the line-up along with the All-Wheel-Drive option, leaving the 240HP 3.9L V-6 to hold the reins with its 24MPG highway EPA-estimated rating. There was also a major change in the addition of a Flex Fuel 3.9L V-6 engine offered to potential buyers, giving the driver the choice of running alternate fuel sources such as E-85 Ethanol in their vehicles.

The 2007 Chevrolet Uplander has a MP3/CD player made standard to provide the occupants with great entertainment during long drives and extended stays inside.


2006 Chevrolet Uplander

Not many changes were made to the 2006 Chevrolet Uplander, the biggest change for the minivan was the introduction of the optional LZ9 3.9L V-6 with 240HP and 240FTLB of torque for buyers to choose.

The new 3.9L V-6 was available on all models except the All-Wheel-Drive-capable model. The LZ9 engine achieves an EPA-estimated 18mpg city and 25mpg highway, making it one of the most efficient V-6 engines while also being one of the most powerful.

The 2006 Chevrolet Uplander earned the highest ranking for safety from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) in the offset frontal crash rating test. The design of the Uplander resembles that of most modern “crossover” vehicles, due in part to the elongated frontal section.

2005 Chevrolet Uplander

The direct replacement of the Venture and Astro comes in the form of the 2005 Chevrolet Uplander. The Uplander comes equipped with several flavors, from a standard minivan, an extended minivan and all the way up to an All-Wheel-Drive Cargo Minivan.

The engine used is a 3.5L V-6 with 200HP and 220FTLB of Torque. A 4-speed automatic transmission puts power to the front wheels which come in either 113” or 121” wheel-base varieties.

The 2005 Chevrolet Uplander has a standard seating capacity of 7 providing plenty of room for a family to travel with their children easily.

Family time is made even easier with the addition of an integrated child seat in the Uplander LS, offering families a much more peace of mind that their children are safe and secure with a one-piece design for the seating.
