Do
It Your Way
Torrent is all about giving you the power to do what you
want, where you want, when you want. With your choice of
front-wheel drive (FWD) or all-wheel drive (AWD), Torrent
is surefooted enough to make weather delays a thing of the
past. There’s lots of room for both your friends and
your toys in Torrent’s stylish and versatile interior.
Torrent is also a great performer, with a choice of four
models including the Torrent Podium Edition Package, two
powerful V6 engines and agile four-wheel independent suspension,
getting there is always part of the fun. Add the reassurance
of the highest U.S. government safety rating for frontal
and side-impact crash tests – 5 stars** – and
you’ve got one irresistible crossover vehicle. Torrent.
Take charge.
 Protection
You Can Count On
With its solid unibody construction, anti-lock brakes, traction
control and up to 4 air bags, Torrent is engineered with
safety as a top priority. No wonder the U.S. government
gave it a 5-star safety rating for frontal and side-impact
crash tests.**
 We’ve
Got You Covered
Torrent is one crossover you can drive with confidence,
because you’re backed by Canada’s best coverage.
There’s a Powertrain Component Limited Warranty, Roadside
Assistance and Courtesy Transportation, all in effect for
your first 5 years or 160,000 km† of ownership.
 The
Muscle To Move You
In a segment dominated by standard four-cylinder powerplants,
Torrent and Torrent GT feature a smooth 3.4L V6 that generates
185 hp. Then there’s Torrent GXP, which dials the performance
all the way up with a standard 264 hp DOHC V6, advanced
variable valve timing (VVT) and a great-sounding performance
exhaust system.
 Advanced
Crash Avoidance
Every Torrent model features a standard StabiliTrak TM electronic
stability control system that monitors for lateral skids
and automatically steps in to help you regain control. Electronic
stability control is a breakthrough safety technology that’s
proven to reduce fatal single-vehicle light truck crashes
by a tremendous 63%. ††
 Versatility

2858 mm (112.5 in.) wheelbase 1 and innovative sliding 60/40
split-folding Multi-Flex™ back seat. Need to carry
