With the Buick brand itself as a luxury division, which was only a matter of time before the company launched its hat in the ring of luxury motor family. In an effort to avoid the soccer mom image capture and generated by the van, he calls his modified Buick minivan a "luxury crossover sport van." With its higher nose attitude and pride wants the Buick Terraza, flat nose to avoid passenger transport School of Design. Frankly, I still think like a minivan with a big nose. But whatever you wanna call this type of vehicle makes more sense to carry out six or seven people in comfort less space-efficient (and generally larger and thirstier) SUV.
Sharing its platform with other GM minivans, the 2007 Buick Terraza have pinched some distinctions, as well as exterior design, which are designed to promote a sense of luxury. An abundance of cut beautifully finished in leather and wood in the higher versions offer a level of opulence not below the prime market was the Terrace. The stability control and airbags rank first and second side are standard, but most competitors already offer side air bags to protect all three rows.
This year, four-wheel-drive version has been dropped, like the 3.5-liter V6. Although the 3.5-liter V6 has very good results in other applications of GM, which was just below the terrace of the crowd of more than 2 tons. Now is the 3.9 liter V6 greater than was previously optional standard, so the Terrace competitive with the likes of the Odyssey and Sienna. Although it is easy to be seduced by the terrace, the luxurious setting, excellent facilities and the performance and character, who is behind the highlights of the class a little more attractive offer in the way of driving dynamics and features safety. We recommend a look at the class-leading minivans, before settling on the Terrace.
Body styles
The Buick Terraza minivan comes in three trim levels, CX, CX and CXL Plus. Standard on the CX are power windows, air conditioning, sound system with an eight-speaker CD/MP3 player, a rear seat DVD entertainment system, On Star communications system, cruise control, keyless entry and a computer travel. The CX Plus adds a sport suspension, dual zone climate control, six-way power driver seat, auto-leveling rear suspension and two visor vanity mirrors. The CXL top-of-the-line adds rear air conditioning, a power of 115 volts, rear parking assistant, two eight-way power seats with driver seat memory, improved bearings and alloy wheels. An optional 40 GB PhatNoise mobile digital media allows owners of thousands of digital music files or to save a few dozen movies. Other notable options include heated seats, remote control system of vehicles start and satellite radio.
Performance
a 3.9-liter V6 engine with 240 horsepower and 240 lb-ft of torque is standard on all terraces, and this is what Buick at eye level, energy supply, to the best of its class. A four-speed automatic transmission is standard. For 2007, all front-drive Terrazas.
Security
the standard safety features on all models include stability control Terrace, antilock disc brakes all-wheel drive and traction control. The CXL also has air bags mounted in the outboard seats of the first two series, both in the head and torso protection is provided in a side impact. Most competitors also offer head protection for passengers in the third row, however. In NHTSA testing, the 2007 Buick Terraza won five out of five stars for protecting the driver and front passenger in frontal crash. In frontal crash tests conducted by clearing the IIHS, which achieved the highest score of the Terrace "good". NHTSA's side impact test (on Terraza without side airbags) resulted in a score of four stars for front passenger protection and five stars for rear passengers. In IIHS side impact test severe, but an A terrace with side air bags "marginal" (the second lowest on a scale of four). He was also second-row seats unbolted from the floor during the test, a problem that GM is considering.
Interior
the terrace with seating for seven people. Contribute to the load, the seats of the second and third rows fold to a maximum of 137 cubic meters in volume. The cabin looks and feels, thanks to the luxury cut and convincing imitation wood double stitched, leather seats with contrasting piping particularly elegant. A useful feature is a modular system, a roof rack that can accommodate standard components such as DVD players and storage compartments. Also included are folding center tray between the first and second row of seats. A rear seat DVD entertainment system is standard on all terraces, and optional PhatNoise digital media system. A remote system is available starting the vehicle allows heating or cooling before reaching the cabin, a nice feature for those living in extreme climates.
Driving
although the weights Buick Terraza nearly 4500, 3.9 liter V6 to match, respectable acceleration of the city and plenty of power for merging and passing on the road. The suspension strikes a good balance between ride comfort and agile handling, but competitors like the Honda Odyssey and Toyota Sienna offer sharper reflexes and a smaller turning circle. La Terraza, stopping distances are longer than they should. Despite the optimization technology Buick quiet cabin noise are not as secret as expected and are above the class average.
