The Buick Terraza is a minivan from General Motors' Buick brand that was introduced in 2005. It fills the position of GM's luxury minivan that was previously filled by the Oldsmobile Silhouette until the division's demise in 2004. The Terraza is built alongside its Chevrolet, Pontiac, and Saturn sisters (Chevrolet Uplander, Pontiac Montana SV6, and Saturn Relay) in Doraville, Georgia.
The Terraza uses a 3.5 L High Value 3500 LX9 V6 that generates 200 hp (149 kW) and 220 ft·lbf (298 N·m) torque, going from 0-60 mph in 10.2 seconds. The Terraza scored three "Good"s (the highest possible score) and two "acceptable"s (the second highest possible score) in IIHS crash tests.
The Terraza is most luxurious of the GM minivans, starting at US$27,790, ahead of the Saturn Relay. The Terraza comes in two trim levels, CX and the CXL.
The Terraza is not Buick's first minivan. The Buick GL8 was first released in 2000, sold only in China.
