2005 Monte Carlo

Revisions to the 2005 Monte Carlo include the latest version of GM's OnStar system made standard that offers both digital and analog coverage, as well as upgraded hands-free voice recognition capabilities. Newly available 17-inch diamond-cut cast aluminum wheels offer a chrome finish. Trim levels are now realigned to include the LS, LT, and Supercharged SS, each one having a specific V-6 engine. Like its four-door counterpart, the Impala, the base Monte Carlo offers a 3.4-liter V-6 that affords 180 horsepower, mated to a four-speed automatic transmission. The LT comes with a 3.8-liter 200-horsepower V-6, while the top SS model adds a 240-horsepower supercharged 3.8-liter V-6 (along with suspension upgrades, exclusive instrumentation, and more-aggressive exterior trim). Standard equipment includes four-wheel-disc brakes, dual-zone air conditioning, and automatic headlamps.
