The Buick Park Avenue has long been a leader when it comes
to blending style, luxury and performance in a sedan. For
2003, the manufacturers of the Park Avenue pay homage to
this tradition, offering a new Ultra model that reaches
into the past for its design inspiration. With features
reminiscent of the original, unveiled all the way back in
1949, the new Ultra is given a classic look with a modern
car's attention to power and comfort.
Available Models
The 2003 Buick Park Avenue is available in the aforementioned
Park Avenue Ultra model and a base model as well.
Interior Features
The 2003 Buick Park Avenue is laid out with roominess as
a top priority. Up to six passengers will find enough space
in all seating positions to stretch out and enjoy the ride.
And the ride is certainly made comfortable with the number
of standard features provided. The base Park Avenue comes
filled with amenities, including power steering, tilt leather-wrapped
steering wheel with radio controls, air conditioning with
dual-zone automatic climate control, cruise control, leather
upholstery, 10-way power front seats with driver-seat lumbar
adjustment and remote keyless entry.
The new Ultra model has a distinct interior style to match
its vintage outer look. Burled Walnut Woodgrain can be found
on the steering wheel, instrument panel trim and door trim,
while the instrument panel is also given a premium feel
with new contemporary gauge-cluster graphics.
Exterior Features
The Ultra's exterior style hearkens back to the days of
jazz and the beat generation. The special retro design features
such things as a "waterfall" grille, tri-shield
Buick insignia and chrome-plated exhaust tips. Also prominent
are classic front fender "VentiPorts" portholes,
whose functional application is to allow increase airflow
to the engine compartment.
Performance
The base model and the Ultra are given two separate engines
that both provide plenty of power. The former is equipped
with a 3.8-liter V6 with 205 horsepower at 5200 rpm and
230 lb-ft of torque at 4000 rpm, which gets 20/29 mpg (city/hwy).
The Ultra has a juicy 3.8-liter supercharged V6 with 240
horsepower at 5200 rpm and 280 lb-ft of torque at 3600 rpm,
translating into a fuel economy of 18/28 mpg (city/hwy).
4-speed automatic transmission is standard on both models.
The Ultra provides maximum performance features in its
standard package. Along with an antiskid system, a Gran
Touring Suspension package is also standard, offering firmer
suspension, aggressive tires and turn-signal lights in the
mirrors.
Safety and Security
There is no ignoring safety and security with the Park Avenue.
Both models have dual front airbags and 4-wheel antilock
disc brakes.
