Buick Terraza Overview
Links To Buick Terraza Parts By Year
When Buick decided to offer its first minivan, it attempted to minimize the kid-hauling stigma by labeling the Terraza, a badge-engineered General Motors minivan, a "luxury crossover sport van." Buick marketing-speak translated, the Terraza is a minivan featuring a taller stance, an elongated nose and the availability of all-wheel drive. The Buick Terraza minivan comes in three trim levels -- CX, CX Plus and CXL. The well-equipped CX offers the usual standard amenities and powered accessories while the CX Plus adds a sport-tuned suspension, dual-zone climate control and auto-leveling rear suspension. The top-of-the-line CXL provides alloy wheels, rear air-conditioning, rear parking assist and eight-way power front seats. Motivating the Terraza is a 3.9-liter V6 with 240 horsepower and 240 pound-feet of torque. The Buick Terraza shines inside comfortably accommodating up to seven people and carrying lots of stuff -- its second- and third-row seats fold down to provide up to 137 cubic feet of space. However, unlike most other minivans, the Terraza's third row does not fold completely into the floor. Instead, the rear trunk area has been obviously built up with two storage areas to create the appearance of a fold-flat seat, which not only looks lame, but robs cargo space. The third row and the storage boxes can be removed. The rest of the cabin looks and feels especially luxurious thanks to convincing faux wood and double-stitched leather seats with contrasting piping. A convenient modular roof rail system allows passengers to adjust the standard DVD player and storage compartment components, and folding center trays rest between the first- and second-row seats. For those living in extreme climates, the available remote vehicle start system enables one to heat up or cool down the cabin before getting in. Despite standard stability and traction control, only the CXL has side-impact head and torso airbags for the first two rows -- most competitors also offer head protection for third-row passengers. And although it earned five out of five stars for driver and front passenger protection during frontal-impact testing by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, in stricter side-impact testing by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, a Terraza with side airbags rated only a "Marginal" score.
