Oldsmobile Bravada

1991

The Bravada was added to the Oldsmobile lineup for the 1991 model year as an upscale version of the Chevy Blazer/GMC Jimmy. Unlike its sister models, the Bravada was only available in the four door body style and came equipped with standard all-wheel-drive. Other notable features included four-wheel ABS and keyless entry as standard equipment.

1992

The '92 Bravada was largely a carry-over model from the previous year with the exceptions of a CD player and an outside spare tire carrier as new options.

1993

For the 1993 model year the Bravada saw the addition of an optional gold package. Power lumbar front seats, extender panels in the sun visors and an overhead console with compass were featured as standard equipment.

1994

This was the last year for the original body style so there were only some minor detail changes like revised shocks.

1995

There was no 1995 Bravada as its Chevy and GMC clones switched to new body styles. This was at a time when Oldsmobile was facing extreme financial problems and it was rumored that the Bravada wouldn't come back or that its replacement would be based on the Izuzu Trooper.

1996

The Bravada was re-introduced for the '96 model year, again as a Chevy/GMC clone. The column shifter was replaced by a floor shifter and the Digital instrumentation was gone for good but standard AWD remained. A drivers side airbag was now standard.

1997

The Bravada made its way into the '97 model year with only detail changes. The convienient tailgate/liftglass was replaced with a more import-like top hinged liftgate with individual liftglass. A power tilt and slide sunroof was also finally available.

1998

By popular demand, the instrument panel was totally redesigned and now featured standard driver and passenger airbags. The front end was redone to provide more of a visual link between the Bravada and Oldsmobile's other models.
