2007 Chevrolet Uplander Un modelo base con motor más potente. | starMedia

Conclusiones

La Chevrolet Uplander es vendida por su precio, y su ajuste, acabado y calidad de construcción la colocan entre lo mejor de la clase. La Uplander es con facilidad la mejor minivan Chevrolet por el momento. Su estilo no es muy de nuestro agrado, y se queda corta cuando hablamos de marcha y manejo. Sin embargo, el gran V6 3.9 litros entrega un fuerte desempeño de aceleración.
