2008 Chevrolet Uplander: Highlights
Oversized windows and an elongated snout help the Uplander, and its
corporate siblings, standout among the competing one-box minivans. Being
low-waisted and long-nosed affords it a generous amount of outward
visibility, so the driver never misjudges where the corners are.
Body-colored trim and a minimum of plastic cladding add purposefulness
to the appearance. Moldings under the front and rear are supposed to
call to mind the skidplates found on serious off-road vehicles. The
optional, 17-inch alloy wheels look exceptionally good. However, the
body is tall and narrow, carrying a more top-heavy appearance than other
minivan models. True to older minivan designs, the sliding door tracks
are exposed on the rear flanks, rather than sculpted into the bodywork,
or concealed beneath the rear side glass.
A handsome, well-organized layout confronts the Uplander's driver.
Everything about the instrument panel and center stack is just as it
should be. Each gauge is easily read, and every control and knob falls
readily to hand. The cruise control stalk actually surpasses those found
in some of General Motors's high-end vehicles. Unlike the minivan class
leaders, which choose to position the shift lever in the center stack,
the Uplander's shifter is located on the steering column. The trim is
all perfectly fine, even when it's obviously fake wood.
Seating is for seven occupants. (Some competing minivans will
accommodate eight.) The narrowness of the chassis is felt in the lack of
elbow and hip room. Second-row seats fold and tumble against the front
row, or they may be taken out to maximize cargo capacity at 136.5 cubic
feet. The third row splits 50/50 and folds flat, though the load floor
height is higher than that of most other minivans. The overhead rail
system locates snap-in storage compartments for placing such items as
headphones and DVDs. A rear, flip-down DVD screen is available. XM
satellite radio will brighten up those waits outside the preschool.
