Exterior enhancements
For 2004 two new exterior colors are available: Cashmere Metallic and Steelmist Metallic.

Safety and security
Century continues to focus on safety and security for 2004, with new four-wheel disc brakes and impact-protective, energy-absorbing foam-backed interior trim on the pillars and roof rails that exceeds federal requirements.

Century continues to offer OnStar, which comes with the first-year subscription of Safe & Sound service as standard. OnStar is the nation's leading provider of in-vehicle safety, security and information services, using the Global Positioning System (GPS)
satellite network and wireless technology. OnStar Safe & Sound services include automatic notification of air bag deployment, stolen vehicle location, remote door unlock, emergency services dispatch, roadside assistance, remote diagnostics, route support, and convenience services.

For an extra charge, OnStar subscribers also can choose premium services such as OnStar Personal Calling, which allows drivers to make and receive hands-free, voice-activated phone calls through a nationwide network in cooperation with Verizon Wireless, and Virtual Advisor, which gives subscribers access to personalized information in a hands-free, voice-activated manner without requiring screens or displays.

For the added safety of parents and their youngest passengers, Century includes child seat attachments in the three rear seat positions. The system, called LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren), uses six metal hooks designed to help adults easily and safely attach child safety seats. Dual-stage front air bags are standard, and a driver's side-impact air bag is available with the leather-appointed seating surfaces.

Standard equipment
Century standard equipment includes a 3100 3.1L V-6 engine that delivers 175 hp (130 kw) at 5200 rpm and 195 lb.-ft. (264 Nm) of torque at 4000 rpm. It is coupled to the proven Hydra-Matic 4T65-E automatic transmission for excellent powertrain performance. Century's estimated fuel economy is 20 mpg in city driving and 29 mpg on the highway.

Century is also equipped with Buick's Convenience Plus package of features, including delayed entry and exit lighting, theater dimming, flash-to-pass control, battery rundown protection, lockout protection, delayed locking, auxiliary power outlet, theft-deterrent system and daytime running lamps.
