The styling is clearly Oldsmobile, with thin horizontal headlamps and dual air intake apertures in the nose, separated by the swoopy logo in chrome. Wide sleek headlights are attached to the apertures, two halogen beams integrated with an amber turn signal that wraps around the fender. Below this grille are two long horizontal slots incorporated into the bumper, and at the very bottom are two more slots with small round foglamps.Side cladding is body-colored, side glass is tinted, and the wheels are six-spoke cast aluminum with polished aluminum optional. Corner marker lights, which shine at right angles with the turn signals, are prominent. The rear end and tailgate are quite clean, with the entire width of the rear bumper being a step, which is convenient because the cargo floor is a bit high.
Attention to detail is evident throughout the vehicle, from a box that helps air-cool the battery, to remarkably sanitary wiring under the hood, to a seven-pin receptacle for towing trailers with brakes, to rear-seat headrests that conveniently flip down for better rearward driver visibility.
Overall, the 2002 Bravada is eight inches longer and more than five inches wider than the previous model.
