A crossover sport van for those who want it all, the Uplander delivers the bold styling of an SUV, the passenger room and interior versatility of a van, and the smooth ride of a sedan. For 2007, the Uplander is upgraded with the GM 3.9L V-6 with variable valve timing (VVT) as standard on all models. This powerful and refined V-6 delivers 240 horsepower (179 kW), 240 lb.-ft. (325 Nm) of torque* - a FlexFuel version capable of running on E85 ethanol will be available later in the model year.
Uplander is offered in regular- and extended-length body styles, and can seat up to seven passengers. The Uplander lineup continues in 2007 with front-wheel drive passenger models available in LS and LT trim, as well as a commercial-use cargo van. Passenger model equipment designations include 1LS, 1LT, 2LT and 3LT. Uplander 3LT models come standard with the segment-exclusive PhatNoise entertainment system; it includes a 40-gigabyte removable hard drive that can store music, movies, video games and more for playback in the vehicle. The system comes pre-loaded with TV shows from Nickelodeon, music from eMusic, audiobooks from Audible and video games from Capcom. Safety features for the '07 Uplander include dual-stage frontal air bags with GM's Passenger Sensing System and available side-impact air bags for the first- and second-row outboard seating positions.
The new colors replace Sandstone Metallic, Emerald Jewel Metallic and Amber Bronze Metallic. Also, all-wheel drive has been discontinued. StabiliTrak electronic stability control is standard on all passenger models.
