"Aztek is an innovative crossover solution that combines the best attributes of a midsize sedan, van, and sport utility," said Pontiac Future Concept Brand Manager Don Butler. A "Wide Track" stance is said to give it car-like ride and handling, while its cargo and people-carrying flexibility add to utility. Overall length is 4550 mm (179 in.); width is 1960 mm (77 in.), and height reaches 1700 mm (67 in.).

Aztek's instrument cluster features Delphi Delco Electronic System's Ultra-lite technology, which uses a thin sheet of acrylic to channel light to the yellow primary-display graphics. An electronic instrument display behind the cluster contains an interactive, reconfigurable telltale (RTT) that gives the driver realtime information about vehicle systems. The RTT features an LCD screen and dot matrix digital display and allows more information to be displayed in a smaller space. Other interesting interior features are a center console that slides on a track between the instrument panel and rear seats, while an overhead console features a fold-down LCD monitor attached to a Pioneer entertainment system.
