2008 Pontiac Torrent GXP


The new Torrent GXP crossover from heritage marquee Pontiac has a lot to offer.

Standard equipment includes a 3.6-liter – v-6 – 264 horsepower engine, coupled with a 6-speed - automatic transmission – 4-wheel drive – performance tuned suspension – anti-lock braking system – stability control and traction control.

This crossover is far more refined than others in its class and price range.

The Torrent features 6-way power driver’s seat – heated driver and front passenger seats – power windows and air conditioning.

The sound system sports 6 speakers – AM and FM radio and a CD player that will play MP3s.

You’ll also find embedded controls in the nicely crafted steering wheel for the sound system and, of course, the cruise control.

The exterior of the 2008 Pontiac Torrent GXP is a sporty 5-door that allows this 5 passenger mid-sized crossover to look fresh with a bold stance and front-end kidney-shaped grill – including an additional horizontal air-dam and parking lights.

This affords a more streamlined appearance for the entire vehicle – hood to rear hatch.

The Pontiac Torrent GPX’s 18-inch, 5 spoke, polished aluminum wheels compliments this new crossover from general motors giving it extra curb appeal.

The 2008 4-wheel drive Pontiac Torrent GXP is delivered with the General Motors 5-year 100-thousand mile power train warranty – of which the dealer can give you all the details.
The Torrent GXP’s 3.6-liter v-6 engine has an estimated miles per gallon rating of 16 on city streets and 24 on the freeway.
This Pontiac has a base price of $27,300.

Our test vehicle, which included optional sunroof and an upgraded stereo system with satellite radio, boosted the price up to $30,700.
