TheBuick Terraza is a four-doorminivan marketed byBuick from the 2005 to 2007 model years as aluxury crossover sport van. As Buick's first minivan for the North American market, it was abadge-engineered variant of theChevrolet,Pontiac, andSaturn minivans sharing theU platform (Uplander,Montana SV6, andRelay respectively), all manufactured inDoraville, Georgia.

The Terraza retailed atUS$28,110 in 2005 (equivalent to $45,257 in 2024),^[1] and debuted with one engine, a 3.5 LHigh ValueV6 generating 200 hp (149 kW) and 220 lb·ft (298 N·m) oftorque. For 2006, a 3.9 LLZ9 V6, with 240 hp (179 kW) and 240 lb·ft (332 Nm) torque became available; the 3.5 L engine was discontinued a year later. The Terraza offered leather seats and faux wood trim on the steering wheel, instrument panel, and gear shift knob.

Borrowing a design feature from theRendezvous, all 2005–2006 Terraza models featured an independent short-and-long-arm rearsuspension with aluminum crossmember and control arms, regardless of drivetrain. The independent rear suspension was replaced with abeam axle for 2007.

The 2007 Terraza equipped with side airbags scored a "good" in the frontal offset and an "acceptable" in the side impactInsurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS)crash tests.^[2]

More standard features were offered on the newCX Plus model, which slotted between theCX andCXL. The independent rear suspension was replaced with a beam axle. The last Terraza was assembled in June 2007,^[3] and the Terraza was removed from Buick's website in early fall 2007.
