Olds joined the sport-utility market in 1991, launching a new 4-door entry called Bravada. Essentially a Chevrolet S10-Blazer wearing a tuxedo, Bravada came equipped with GM’s full-time 4WD system, known as “Smart Trak.” However, the Bravada was not being touted as an off-road vehicle, so no off-road suspension package was offered. Under the hood sat a 160-horsepower 4.3-liter V6, paired with a 4-speed overdrive automatic transmission. Four-wheel antilock brakes were standard, as were leather upholstery and a host of power accessories.
[/vc_column_text][mk_table title=”Yearly Updates” style=”style2″ el_class=”used-yearly-updates”]| 1992 Bravada Added for 1992 is a new High Performance 4.3-liter V6 that delivers 200 horsepower. Also, the standard “hockey stick” speedometer carried over from the Chevy Blazer is replaced with a more subtle unit with a regular needle and a 180-degree sweep. |
| 1993 Bravada The standard 4-speed automatic transmission gains electronic shift controls. There’s also a new Gold Package option that provides gold-and-black alloy wheels and gold-tinted nameplates for the Bravada. Inside, a new overhead console includes outside-temperature and compass readouts. |
| 1994 Bravada A new Special Edition Bravada includes gold exterior trim and all-season tires. Other changes to the Bravada include the addition of new guard beams inside all four doors and a new center high-mount stoplight. |

Bravada’s 200-horsepower V6 delivers ample power, although the engine fan is a bit loud on acceleration. Automatic transmissions are one thing GM does very well, so it comes as no surprise that there’s an unobtrusive, smooth-shifting automatic transmission paired with the Bravada’s 4.3-liter V6. However, the engine is not particularly fuel efficient, averaging only 15 mpg in actual, real-world city driving.
While suspension upgrades in 1994 were designed to take the trucklike feel out of this rebadged Chevy Blazer, ride quality is still not equal to that provided in the Grand Cherokee. Bravada’s suspension allows too much bouncing on wavy roads and doesn’t do a good job of absorbing bumps and ruts.

| Automatic transmission Description: TH-700-R4 automatic transmissions may shift late or not upshift at all. The problem is a stuck throttle valve inside the transmission. (1991-93) |
| Engine knock Description: Engine knock is usually eliminated by using an oil filter with a check valve. If this does not work, GM has revised PROMs for the computers. (1991-92) |
| Exhaust system Description: The exhaust valves may not get enough lubrication, causing a variety of noises. Usually, the same engine consumes excess oil because the valve-guide seals on the exhaust valves are bad. (1996) |
