2002 PONTIAC BONNEVILLE: EXCITING ALTERNATIVE TO TRADITIONAL LUXURY
The 2002 Pontiac Bonneville remains the sporty Option to traditional luxury, offering driving excitement to upper middle income drivers with a youthful outlook on life. Bonneville is the roomy sport sedan that provides a bold, exciting alternative to the boredom that often accompanies traditional luxury cars.
A refreshing new face
For the 2002 model year, Bonneville SE models have been refreshed with updated front and rear fascias. Revised exterior badging and new 17-inch wheels (standard aluminum and Optional chrome) also lend a new look to SLE and SSEi models, which also receive new dual oval exhaust tips. SE and SLE models get new standard interior treatments, done in Peak Expression cloth/fabric. Three new exterior colors are also added to the mix: Polo Green, Dark Blue Metallic and Granite Metallic.
Bonneville is available in three models – SE, SLE and SSEi – each with a high level of standard equipment that emphasize comfort, convenience and security.
More standard features than ever
The Bonneville SE is a true sport sedan that seats five or six comfortably in its roomy interior. Standard features on the SE now include a CD player, 16-inch aluminum wheels, a six-way power driver’s seat, remote keyless entry, and anti-theft alarm system, as well as independent front and rear touring suspension with electronic level control, tire pressure monitor, daytime running lamps with twilight sentinel, PassKey III security system, power windows with express-down driver and passenger, power outside rearview mirrors, rear-deck spoiler and trunk pass-through.
Bonneville SLE places an even stronger emphasis on style, performance and convenience. Among its standard features are new-for-’02 17-inch five-spoke aluminum wheels, dual-play audio, dual-zone climate control, independent front and rear performance suspension with electronic level control, a 3.05 performance axle ratio, a rear deck spoiler, and a Driver
Information Center.
Bonneville SSEi takes content to the highest level with the StabiliTrak system, Head-Up Display, magnetic variable-effort steering, 12-way articulating driver and passenger leather bucket seats with memory, trunk accessory kit, and more. For more information about StabiliTrak, see the Corporate press kit’s "Applied Technology" section.
Supercharged V6 power
Bonneville SE and SLE are powered by the acclaimed 3800 Series II V6 that generates 205 horsepower and 230 lb-ft of torque, mated to a four-speed electronic automatic transmission. The stiff, sporty Bonneville SSEi’s standard engine adds a supercharger and heavy-duty transaxle with a lower axle ratio for higher power – 240 horsepower and 280 lb-ft of torque.
Four-wheel ABS is standard on all Bonnevilles, with a Delco-Bosch 5.3 system providing electronic proportioning. Available traction control uses brake application and engine torque modulation to increase driver control in slippery conditions.
Safety, comfort and convenience at a great value
Inside, Bonneville drivers will find an amazing array of programmable personalization usually found in far more expensive luxury vehicles. Two drivers can easily program their preferences, which are activated by their individual key fobs.
Bonneville’s occupants ride in comfort and style with standard 45/45 bucket seats in Peak Expression cloth or available Connolly leather. Convenient storage comes in the form of a newly redesigned center console. A 55/45 bench seat with center storage armrest is available on the SE in cloth only for six-passenger seating.
Bonneville’s interior components were engineered to help minimize trauma to occupants in the event of a collision. Its structural reinforcements are the foundation for excellent crashworthiness. An integral quarter panel with one-piece side frame inner and outer stampings, a stiff overall body, strong seat and safety belt anchors, and excellent cross-car integrity work together, allowing Bonneville to exceed requirements in roof crush, side intrusion and off-center collisions.
