The 2006 Pontiac Torrent comes with a choice of front-wheel drive ($22,400) or all-wheel drive ($24,300). Torrent is powered by GM's 3.4-liter V6 engine and five-speed automatic transmission. Only one trim level is offered, but with a variety of options.
Standard equipment includes air conditioning, power windows, AM/FM/CD with six speakers, remote entry and automatic door locks, fog lamps, roof rails, daytime running lights, a rear window wiper, and 16-inch aluminum wheels.
Options include a Premium Package ($795) with leather interior and heated front seats. The Preferred Package ($1555) includes primarily a six-way power driver's seat, tinted glass, cruise control, crossbars for the roof rails, and leather-wrapped steering wheel to accent the cloth interior. The Sun and Sound Package ($1285) includes a sunroof and six-disc Pioneer sound system with seven speakers and a subwoofer and amplifier. Stand-alone options include XM Satellite Radio ($325) and 17-inch aluminum wheels with all-season tires ($295).
Safety features that come standard include ABS, a rear child-seat latch system, and the mandated front airbags. Traction control comes standard on front-wheel-drive models; all-wheel-drive further enhances safety, of course. An optional Security Package ($1090) includes side curtain airbags and one year of Onstar service. Electronic stability control isn't available.
