2001 Pontiac Aztek news, pictures, and information | ||
| Tweet | ||
Pontiac Aztek suits the needs of today's active consumers by continuing to provide versatility and fun. Aztek created a new vehicle §egmènt - the sport recreation vehicle (SRV) - when introduced in 2001, and it continues to define that §egmènt today. All Aztek models, including the Aztek Rally Edition, pack plenty of Pontiac driving excitement, yet wîth the versatility of a minivan and the rugged, all-wheel drive capability of an SÚV.
Outdoor amenities
For those who enjoy getting closer to nature, Aztek offers an enhanced camping package, wîth a custom tent that fits securely over the rear half of the vehicle and an awning at the back of the vehicle, that provides protection from the elements … or a shady place to rest. The camping package also includes a custom-sized air mattress that rests on the wide flat load floor when the rear seats are folded up or removed. Customers can inflate the air mattress by using the integrated inflator or the optional auxiliary accessory outlet located in the cargo area.
For biking aficionados, Aztek lets its owners choose whether they prefer transporting their bicycles inside or outside the vehicle. In either case, the package also includes all-weather floor mats and waterproof seat covers, making cleanup a breeze.
Safety
Driver and front passenger frontal air bags are standard across the board. Side-impact air bags are standard on all-wheel-drive models and the high-level 1SC front-wheel-drive model. Side-impact air bags are available on front-wheel-drive entry 1SA and mid-level 1SB models. The OnStar safety and security system (Ú.S. and Canada only) comes standard on both high-level 1SC front-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive models, including Safe & Sound Service wîth emergency assistance services, air-bag deployment notification, Accident Assist, roadside assistance, stolen vehicle tracking, remote diagnostics, remote door lock and unlock, and online concierge services
Engines
Aztek's Versatrak all-wheel-drive system is much more effective than similar systems offered on competitive makes. Versatrak directs torque to the rear wheels wîth the best traction - even if it's only one wheel. Split-traction surfaces on competitive makes often render the vehicle helpless, since torque is routed automatically to both wheels. Aztek also provides the added traction of all-wheel drive wîth the convenience of a flat load floor - something unique to the §egmènt.
Aztek's stability comes from its wide stance coupled wîth a top-notch suspension system. Úp front, Aztek features MacPherson struts fitted wîth four-stage shock absorber valving for optimum ride and handling. In back, AWD Aztek models benefit from a short-and-long-arm independent suspension designed and engineered specifically for this application. The result is a significant handling edge over live-axle systems, particularly on irregular pavement.
The base front-wheel-drive model comes wîth standard 16-inch steel wheels and wheel covers. Front-drive 1SB and all-wheel-drive 1SA and 1SB models feature 16-inch, painted snowflake cast-aluminum wheels wîth P215/70R16 all-season blackwall radial tires. Aztek customers who choose the 17-inch wheel option on 1SB (standard on 1SC) front- or all-wheel-drive models will enjoy the sporty looks of five-spoke flangeless cast-aluminum wheels equipped wîth P225/60R17 all-season blackwall tires.Source - Pontiac
