A revised interior including dual airbags, heated seats, and a new front fascia which included the new Aurora inspired Oldsmobile logo. The Bravada was now run in RWD in normal operations, and only when wheel slip was detected did the SmartTrak engage AWD. The SmartTrak system now featured the computer controlled NP-136 transfer case, which works more like traction control. As with the previous generation, the Oldsmobile Bravada was available only in 4-door, 5-passenger configuration.Īnother refresh occurred in 1998, with the Bravada adopting Oldsmobile's new (and final) version of the "rocket" emblem. In 1997, 4-wheel anti-lock disc brakes became standard and the rear spoiler was deleted. Other interior features included standard leather seating, woodgrain trim, and its unique center console with a leather-wrapped console shifter (as opposed to a column shifter on the Blazer/Jimmy). The front bucket seats were similar to those found on the Aurora. In keeping with its premium image, the Bravada's interior was modified and upgraded, to differ from its Chevrolet/ GMC siblings. The interior styling was more appealing to the eye with fewer ridges and squares, much like the exterior. Standard fare included a driver's airbag and daytime running lamps. This generation Bravada could easily be distinguished from the Chevrolet Blazer and GMC Jimmy by its Oldsmobile-styled body-colored split grille, premium alloy wheels, and lower bodyside cladding. The 19 models' body featured more rounded lines than their predecessor. The Bravada was refreshed later than its platform mates, with no 1995 models produced. The second generation with the 200 hp engine averaged 16 miles per US gallon (15 L/100 km 19 mpg ‑imp)/21 miles per US gallon (11 L/100 km 25 mpg ‑imp). The first generation Bravada with the 160 hp engine averaged United States Environmental Protection Agency city/highway 17 miles per US gallon (14 L/100 km 20 mpg ‑imp)/22 miles per US gallon (11 L/100 km 26 mpg ‑imp). The first-generation Bravada was produced into the 1994 model year. An optional Gold package with gold exterior badging and special gold aluminum wheels was also new for '93. 1993 saw the addition of an overhead console with compass, temperature, and reading lights.

Also for '92, the Bravada's instrument panel was slightly modified to differ from its siblings. The 4.3 L V6 engine got a horsepower boost to 2. At the heart of the SmartTrak system was the Borg Warner 4472 transfer case (also shared with the limited production GMC Typhoon and AWD Astro/Safari vans), offering 65% rear and 35% front torque with more to the front when it slips. First-generation Bravadas also featured the Oldsmobile emblem on the tail lights, another standard feature not shared with the Blazer or Jimmy. In keeping with its upscale image, the Bravada standardized many features that the Blazer and Jimmy made optional, namely the SmartTrak all-wheel drive, power equipment, Anti-lock brakes, remote keyless entry, body-colored bumpers and exterior trim (with lower body cladding which was body-colored, similar to the competitor Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited), and the 4.3 L W-code engine.

At the time of its debut, the Bravada was a United States-only vehicle, and unlike the compact Blazer and Jimmy, there was no pickup truck equivalent. It was the first truck-based vehicle offered by Oldsmobile since the 1920s, and the division's first-ever sport utility vehicle. The 1991 Bravada was an upscale version of the then-new 4-door S-Blazer/Jimmy. The third generation was the only version offered in Canada. The first generation (1991–1994) and second-generation (1996–2001) used the GMT330 platform, and the third generation (2002-2004) used the GMT360 platform. It was the only SUV manufactured or marketed by Oldsmobile, and the first light truck offered in the United States by a GM brand other than Chevrolet or GMC since before World War II. The Oldsmobile Bravada is a front-engine, four-door mid-size SUV manufactured and marketed by the Oldsmobile division of General Motors - across three generations and as a rebadged variant of the Chevrolet Blazer and GMC Jimmy.
