The 2008 Pontiac Torrent is a mid-size SUV that was produced by General Motors from 2006 to 2009. It was built on the GM Theta platform, shared with the Chevrolet Equinox and Saturn Vue. The Torrent offered a range of features and options, including a choice of two engines: a 2.4L four-cylinder and a 3.4L V6. The four-cylinder engine generated 173 horsepower and 169 lb-ft of torque, while the V6 produced 224 horsepower and 217 lb-ft of torque. Both engines were paired with a five-speed automatic transmission, and front-wheel drive was standard, with all-wheel drive available as an option.

The 2008 Pontiac Torrent boasted a comfortable and spacious interior with seating for five. Standard features included power windows, locks, and mirrors, air conditioning, and a CD player. Optional features included a sunroof, leather upholstery, a navigation system, and a rearview camera. Safety features included anti-lock brakes, electronic stability control, and multiple airbags. The Torrent was known for its decent fuel economy, particularly with the four-cylinder engine, and its comfortable ride. However, some critics found its handling to be a bit less sharp than its competitors. Despite its solid features and capabilities, the Torrent never achieved major commercial success and was discontinued in 2009.
