The new Bravada will have an independent front and five-link rear air suspension combined with the new frame structure to make for smooth sailing over the roughest of turf. The air-filled bladders are also said to cut down on road noise inside the vehicle. Oldsmobile will equip it with larger four-wheel disc brakes. Brand identity was a priority for Oldsmobile when designing the Bravada. Front and rear passengers get perforated leather seating and wood trim is found on the center stack, center console and upper door panels.
Front seats have eight-way power adjustments and an optional heating feature.
Remote keyless entry recalls two presets for preferred temperature and radio settings. Driver and front passenger are blessed with dual climate control, and backseat riders are lucky enough to get their own separate audio system. The 2002 Bravada's exterior will incorporate more Oldsmobile design cues than previous generations. The front end sports thin horizontal headlamps and dual air intake apertures, bodyside cladding is kept to a minimum, dark tinted side glass is standard and clear lens taillights are intended to create a jewel-like appearance. Regardless, the overall design isn't too exciting.
