Is the Pontiac Torrent AWD?

A buddy of mine is selling his Pontiac Torrent. It was his daughter’s car for a long time, so it has low mileage. The only issue is that he doesn’t know much about the drivetrain. I want an all-wheel-drive car, and I want to make sure the Torrent has it before I make an offer. Does the Pontiac Torrent come with AWD?

While it came standard with front-wheel drive, the
Pontiac Torrent
has AWD (all-wheel drive) as an available option.
If you want to find out if your friend’s model is all-wheel drive, you have a few options:
  • Look at the owner’s manual. This may tell you whether or not you have an AWD version of the Pontiac Torrent.
  • Take a glance at the back of the car. You should see an AWD badge on the right rear side of the tailgate unless it has fallen off the vehicle.
  • Get the VIN (vehicle identification number) and type it into a site like Kelley Blue Book. You should get your answer.
