Chevrolet Uplander for Sale

Edmunds' Expert Review

by the Edmunds Experts

Pros

Smooth ride and handling, lots of nifty interior storage spaces, innovative multimedia storage system, available all-wheel-drive.

Cons

Engine power and refinement not up to class leaders, no side curtain airbags.

What’s new

The Uplander is an all-new "crossover sport van" that has roots in the Chevrolet Venture minivan.

Edmunds says

Although the Uplander features a slick interior and distinctive styling, it doesn't have the on-road finesse of its minivan competitors.

2005 Chevrolet Uplander Fwd 4dr Minivan (3.5L 6cyl 4A)

We have had our 2005 Uplander for a year and a half now. Its been an ok van, but a couple problems have shown up..some small, others large. We had a problem with the transmission last year banging into gear when leaving a stop, we took it to the mechanic and they fixed a sensor that seemed to be the problem. The banging went away for a year then recently came back, so back to the …

2005 Chevrolet Uplander Cargo Fwd 4dr Minivan (3.5L 6cyl 4A)

I bought this 2005 van used when it was about 3 yrs old with less than 50,000 miles. It is now 5 yrs later and I absolutely love this van! It doesn't look like a mommie van, something like a van/suburban look. I've only had to have regular maintenance repairs done-shocks, brakes, tires, etc. I only recently had to have the oil pan replaced; which is expensive because the whole engine …

2005 Chevrolet Uplander LS Fwd 4dr Minivan (3.5L 6cyl 4A)

Just passed 100K in Dec. '09. Had a bad ABS sensor this last year and the goofy cup holder under the stereo console has been broken almost since the initial warranty ended. Sometimes you have to touch the starter several times to start it but my wife and I have heard the same sound as others attempted to start their GM cars when we walked by. For a low end auto we have been absolutely …
