The
Pontiac Torrent is based on a car chassis, and emphasizes a smooth ride and interior versatility. The Torrent comes standard with a V6. The Torrent shares its basic structure with the Chevy
Equinox. It's based on a front-wheel-drive platform but all-wheel drive is available for winter weather.
We found the Torrent delivers quick acceleration and its styling is restrained, clean and pleasing. Inside, the available leather seats are nice, the premium stereo sounds good, and the low dash offers a good view of the road ahead. The back seat slides and reclines according to your needs for extended leg room or more cargo space.
Options include a clever cargo storage system with handy bins in the floor and wheel wells, plus a lightweight polycarbonate shelf that can be placed in various positions for differing needs; it has hooks for grocery bags and can be configured as a table for tailgate parties. Three 12-volt power outlets come standard.
