It is difficult to pinpoint the single defining feature of Terraza. And that’s just the way we planned it. Every aspect was executed with flawless precision. That encompasses the exterior design, with its seamless integration of the exterior contours, and the sporty accent provided by the 17-inch wheels, and the enhanced convenience of a factory-installed p.7 remote vehicle starter, which is standard on CXL. The mechanical package is of an equally high standard, with the introduction of the new 3.9L V6* with variable valve timing, and the confident handling applied by the StabiliTrak vehicle stability enhancement system that’s standard on front- wheel-drive models. What is it exactly that distinguishes Terraza from other vehicles in its class?

The mission behind Terraza’s engineering wasn’t simply to produce a powerful van, it was to build a van that delivers an unexpected level of technological sophistication and refinement. For 2006, that mission receives fresh expression in the form of the new 3.9L V6 that’s standard on CXL FWD.* It employs variable valve timing to optimize combustion timing, maximizing ķ power and torque output. But that is only part of the overall performance story. Features such as the available Versatrak all-wheel-drive system contribute to Terraza’s outstanding traction and refined handling.

Scan the list of safety features on-board Terraza and you’re sure to be impressed. Beyond such expected features as dual-stage frontal air bags,* you’ll find how technology is put to very good use to advance safety. One example is the use of high-strength steel in the frame. Another is the ultrasonic rear parking assist that is standard on CXL. For 2006, second-row side-impact air bags are also available. But what takes Terraza to another level of safety and security is the standard OnStar System. It includes one year of the Safe & Sound Plan – an apt description of the feeling that awaits you inside Terraza. *A NOTE ON CHILD SAFETY: Always use safety belts and proper child restraints, p.13 even in vehicles equipped with air bags. Children are safer when properly secured in a rear seat. Never place a rear-facing infant restraint in the front seat of any vehicle equipped with an active air bag. Refer to the vehicle Owner’s Manual and child safety seat instructions for more information. Air bag inflation can cause severe injury or death to anyone too close to the air bag when it deploys. Be sure every occupant is properly restrained.
