It's about spending time together, doing the things you really enjoy. You set the agenda: we build the vehicle that not only takes you there, but serves as an integral part of the journey: Chevrolet Uplander. The fun begins even before you step inside - Uplander's styling gives it an unmistakable presence. The driving experience is equally captivating, thanks to the powerful, yet efficient 240 hp 3.9L V6 with variable valve timing. Uplander is also built with an understanding that the last thing you want to worry about is your family's safety. So you can take comfort in Uplander's five-star frontal crash safety ratings,** as well as the standard StabiliTrak™ and OnStar° systems. Let's go with the family. In the 2008 Chevrolet Uplander.

	Not Just A High Safety Rating - The Highest You use your vehicle to transport those who are closest to you. So you'll be reassured to know that Uplander earned the highest U.S. government safety rating - five stars - for the driver and front passenger in the frontal crash test.** Uplander also provides the enhanced peace of mind of OnStar°, including one year of the Safe & Sound Plan.
	Power Meets Control In Uplander, confidence begins with the responsive power of the 240 hp 3.9L V6 engine that features torque-boosting variable valve timing. The control is equally as authoritative, thanks to the StabiliTrak electronic stability control system that helps counter a lateral skid, as well as traction control, and 4-wheel disc brakes with a 4-wheel anti-lock braking system.
	Easy Does It Uplander's versatility begins with the convenient access of dual sliding side doors. The flip-and-fold second-row modular seats and the removable 50/50 split fold-flat rear seat are easy to reconfigure to accommodate more passengers or cargo. A series of handy storage compartments include those mounted on the innovative Overhead Rail System that's standard on all but Regular Wheelbase LS models.
	Built Right, Backed Right Uplander isn't only exceptionally dependable. It's also backed by the best coverage in Canada, with our $0 deductible 5 year/160,000 km Powertrain Limited Warranty,† in addition to 5 year/160,000 km Courtesy Transportation and Roadside Assistance.† Go worry-free.
