2007 Mid‑Year Refresh
Although the Torrent debuted in 2006, the 2007 model received a noticeable interior refresh. The cabin was slightly reworked and the sound system was upgraded, giving owners a modest but appreciated improvement.
Engine Options and Redesign
The Torrent’s last major redesign came in 2006, introducing a powertrain lineup that included a 3.4‑liter engine delivering 185 hp and up to 24 mpg, as well as an optional 3.6‑liter engine. The larger 3.6‑liter motor, while offering more power, was later noted by owners as being more problematic.
Hard‑to‑Find Pontiac‑Specific Parts
Because the Torrent shared many components with other GM models, most parts are readily available, but Pontiac‑exclusive items such as doors, interior trim panels, and the hood can be difficult to locate. Enthusiasts often turn to specialty suppliers to source these rare components.
