The Bravada is a luxury SUV from the Oldsmobile marque of General Motors. There have been two different vehicles to bear this model name, the 1991-2001 first- and second-generation GMT330, and the 2002-2004 GMT360.
1991
The 1991 Bravada was an upscale version of the new 4-door S-Blazer/Jimmy. It was the first truck offered by the Oldsmobile division. Unlike the others, the Bravada was only offered with "Smart Trak" all wheel drive and the 4.3 L Z-code engine. Anti-lock brakes and remote keyless entry were also standard. This version was produced through 1994.
Engines:
- 1991 - 4.3 L Vortec 4300 V6, TBI, 160 hp (119 kW)/230 ft.lbf (312 Nm) (VIN Z)
- 1992-1994 - 4.3 L Vortec 4300 V6, CPFI, 200 hp (149 kW) (VIN W)
1996
The Bravada was refreshed later than the others, with no 1995 models produced. A Bose sound system was added for 1999 and the engine was redesigned in 2000, though output remained the same. This generation was phased out in 2001 to make way for the new GMT360 Bravada.
Engines:
- 1996-2001 - 4.3 L Vortec 4300 V6, CSFI, 190 hp (142 kW)
2002
The 2002 Bravada was the first GMT360 truck. Like the Chevrolet TrailBlazer and GMC Envoy, it used the new 270 hp (201 kW) Atlas Straight-6 engine. Rear wheel drive was available for the first time as well, making this the first rear wheel drive Oldsmobile since the 1992 Custom Cruiser. Production of the Bravada ended with the demise of the Oldsmobile marque in 2004.
The Bravada bodyshell is still in production as the Buick Rainier.
