The 2004 Chevrolet Monte Carlo belongs to the sixth generation of this nameplate lasting from 2000 to 2005. Equipped with front-wheel drive, it was available in three trims: LS, SS, and the top-of-the-line SS Supercharged. Base LS trims received a 3.4-liter V6 generating 180 horsepower, while SS trims were powered by a heartier 3.8-liter V6 with 200 horsepower. The launch of the Supercharged SS model was in 2004, boasting a supercharged version of the 3.8-liter V6 delivering 240 horsepower. All models came with a four-speed automatic transmission. Standard safety features included front airbags and 4-wheel disc brakes while ABS was optional. The cars were fitted with a simple yet practical interior that included an AM/FM/CD audio system, air conditioning, cruise control, and power windows and locks.
