Buick Terraza I gallery (2004–2007)

The Buick Terraza was launched for the 2005 model year as Buick's first and only entry into the minivan market, marketed under General Motors' 'Crossover Sport Van' (CSV) category. Constructed on the long-wheelbase front-wheel-drive GM U-body platform, the Terraza shared its underlying architecture with the Chevrolet Uplander, Pontiac Montana SV6, and Saturn Relay, but stood apart thanks to brand-specific luxury appointments, woodgrain interior trim, and Buick's proprietary QuietTuning sound-deadening engineering. At launch, power was delivered by a 3.5-liter LX9 High Value V6 producing 200 horsepower, coupled with a four-speed 4T65-E automatic transmission. Buyers could select either front-wheel drive or the Versatrak on-demand all-wheel-drive system. For 2006, GM introduced an optional 3.9-liter LZ9 V6 generating 240 horsepower, while the AWD variant was discontinued due to packaging limitations with newer powertrains. By 2007, a revised 3.9-liter LGD V6 capable of running on E85 ethanol fuel became standard. The Terraza was marketed across North America (the United States, Canada, and Mexico) before being phased out in 2007 to make way for the brand's new, highly successful three-row crossover SUV, the Buick Enclave.
