The 2001 Oldsmobile Silhouette was a minivan produced by General Motors under the Oldsmobile brand. It was part of the second generation of the Silhouette, which debuted in 1995 and continued until 2004. The Silhouette was known for its spacious interior, offering seating for seven passengers, and its versatile cargo space, thanks to its fold-down seats and removable middle row seats. It was also praised for its smooth ride and comfortable driving experience. Powering the 2001 Silhouette was a 3.4L V6 engine, paired with a 4-speed automatic transmission. This engine, with its 180 horsepower and 205 lb-ft of torque, provided adequate power for everyday driving and cruising on the highway.

The 2001 Silhouette came standard with features like power steering, power brakes, air conditioning, and a radio. Upgraded trims offered options like a CD player, cruise control, and an optional power moonroof. Safety features included dual front airbags, anti-lock brakes (ABS), and a driver's side airbag. The Silhouette was a popular choice for families and individuals who needed a reliable and spacious vehicle for everyday transportation and occasional hauling. However, like many other Oldsmobile models, the Silhouette faced declining sales in the early 2000s, due to the brand's dwindling popularity and the growing popularity of SUVs and crossovers. Despite its shortcomings, the 2001 Oldsmobile Silhouette remains a testament to the minivan's legacy as a practical and versatile vehicle for families and individuals with active lifestyles.
