Oldsmobile launched the Bravada in 1991 as its luxury mid-size SUV model based on GMT330 platform technologies. The Oldsmobile Bravada adopted designs from its Chevrolet Blazer and GMC Jimmy siblings yet obtained its distinction through separate front-end styling and high-end equipment. The initial Oldsmobile Bravada models utilized SmartTrak full-time all-wheel drive because of its Borg Warner 4472 transfer case that distributed engine power between rear and front tires through an automatic wheel slip reduction mechanism. A 4.3-liter V6 engine in the model received improvements during 1993 which resulted in increased output to 200 horsepower. When the Oldsmobile Bravada got redesigned in 2002 the GMT360 platform introduction brought forth a new 4.2-liter six-cylinder engine that achieved 270 horsepower alongside a 4-speed automated transmission to deliver enhanced shift operations. Users gained more flexibility from this model due to its new two-wheel-drive functionality with traction control system. The interior of the Bravada featured upscale elements along with exclusive Oldsmobile identification. OEM Bravada genuine parts should be used to sustain performance alongside maintaining product lifespan because they are available from authorized distribution through their original factory specifications.
