The National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA) provides 3
different ratings -
full-width frontal crash test
,
side impact crash test
, and
rollover resistance
. The frontal crash test indicates how
well the safety features and restraints
will protect an occupant in a head-on
collision. The side-impact test conveys
the chance of a severe chest injury,
while the rollover resistance rating
estimates the risk of rolling over in a
single vehicle crash.

Summary:
|
Toughness in a tuxedo.
By Ray Thursby, NewCarTestDrive.com
Within its limits, the Bravada represents good value. It is attractive and its solid structure will endure more off-road punishment than it is ever likely to receive. Workmanship in the examples we've seen has been very good as well.Some entries in the Bravada's class are equipped with features unavailable here. A few offer V8 engines (at extra cost) and most employ two-speed transfer cases in the four-wheel drive systems. But added complexity costs more, and for many shoppers in this market the serious off-road components are unnecessary. Also, many of these other SUVs do not offer the smooth ride and comfort of the Bravada. The Bravada offers buyers the advantages of a high seating position and rugged looks without the stiff ride found in many SUVs. Buyers who want a luxury sport-utility vehicle capable of handling snow and light-duty off-road driving may well find that the Bravada has what it takes satisfy their needs. |

Overview:
|
Oldsmobile defines its Bravada as an upscale "on-road sport-utility vehicle" with refined styling and car-like ride and handling. For people who have been bombarded with advertising showing shiny SUVs tackling inhospitable terrain, this is acknowledgement from one manufacturer of how most sport-utilities are really used. In truth, the Oldsmobile Bravada handles the road very well. It rides and drives like an Oldsmobile luxury sedan. A relatively tight turning circle and power-assisted steering make it easier to maneuver in crowded parking lots than some of the other sport-utilities on the market. Oldsmobile has taken a sensible approach to the Bravada from the start. The Oldsmobile Bravada is based it on the proven, high-volume Chevy Blazer/GMC Jimmy platform. Taking this simple, direct route reduced development time and kept costs down. Oldsmobile's vehicles are positioned as high-value luxury cars within their market segments, so setting the Bravada in a similar group among SUVs is sensible. For this reason, the Bravada comes with a higher level of standard equipment than the other GM products. In the three years since the Bravada's last major makeover, several newcomers have arrived. The Mercury Mountaineer, Jeep Grand Cherokee and Infiniti QX4 compete in this luxury SUV segment. Other, mass market, sport-utilities vie for these same buyers when optioned out to their leather-lined limits.
