In the 2005 model year, Saturn and Chevrolet release two vehicles that were nearly identical to one another, the Relay and Uplander. The 2005 Relay was technically a minivan, yet its styling so closely resembled that of an SUV, Saturn defined it as a family-utility vehicle. The 2005 Relay came standard with a 200-horsepower, 3.5-liter V-6 engine, along with power windows and door locks. Removing the passengers door panel from the 2005 Relay is a straightforward task, but it requires care not to break any of the plastic panels that you must remove to get the panel off.
