The 2005 Pontiac Montana was a versatile minivan that offered ample space, practicality, and a touch of sporty styling. It was part of General Motors' second generation of Montanas, building upon the success of its predecessor. This version, however, sported a bolder design with a more sculpted hood, angular headlights, and a larger grille. While not as explicitly sporty as its sibling, the Pontiac Aztek, the Montana still possessed a more aggressive aesthetic than other minivans of the time. Inside, the Montana provided ample space for passengers and cargo, with seating for up to seven, thanks to its second-row bench seat and optional third-row bench. The cabin was relatively comfortable, featuring cloth upholstery as standard, with leather available as an optional upgrade. The Montana also offered standard features such as air conditioning, power windows, and a CD player, with additional amenities like a sunroof, navigation system, and rear entertainment system available for an added cost.

The 2005 Pontiac Montana was powered by a 3.5-liter V6 engine that produced 200 horsepower and 220 lb-ft of torque. This engine was paired with a four-speed automatic transmission, providing smooth acceleration and decent fuel economy for its size. While not as sporty as some of its competitors, the Montana offered a comfortable ride and a handling that was competent for everyday driving. The suspension was tuned for a smooth ride, with a comfortable overall driving experience. The Montana also offered various safety features including anti-lock brakes, traction control, and multiple airbags, ensuring driver and passenger safety. Although the 2005 Montana was discontinued in 2006, it remains a popular option for families seeking a spacious and reliable minivan with a touch of Pontiac style. The Montana's combination of practicality, comfort, and affordability made it a popular choice for those looking for a family-oriented vehicle.
