This is the first GM SUV I have owned and just recently wondered what does LS, LT and LTZ stand for if anything? I know for examplea CadillacSTS= Seville Touring Sedan orDTS =Deville Touring Sedan. LT = Light Truck?

I'm pretty sure that theyare just made up to represent trim levels.

Interesting question, but Tahoe07 is probably right. They sound cool though.

In years past (on other vehicles) the monickure LS for instance was an acronym for "Luxury Sport" and LT = "Luxury Touring" but in recent years these acronyms have become diluted with the addition of extra characters such as: “LSi” and “LTZ” which obviously have no meaning.

See if this works... LS = Luxury Sort of LSI = Luxury Sort of - Intermediate LT = Luxury Top-grade LTZ = Luxury Top-grade with Zing Reply 1 1 Louis Churchray RonH View Public Profile Visit RonH's homepage!

I have not seen a LSi latley but they all have meaning. While the letters may not represent a specific word they still designate a specific trim and option level. The LTZ is the luxury trim package and the Z represents it as being the highest level of options that come standard in that package as Z is the last letter of the alphabet. LSi was only used on the Chevy prism and geo metro that I am aware seeing I was a GM service manager for 7 years. I can only speculate that perhaps it means intermediate as I never cared enough to find out. Those car in my opinion were throw away vehicles. The LSi was not a base model and did have more options such as power windows etc. I just purchased a 2015 Silverado 4x4 LTZ and there is a huge difference between a lS or a LT compared to my LTZ. So it does have a actual designation. Last edited by onkyo357; May 27, 2015 at 11:13 AM.

Don't forget, there are subsets of the LT designation, not sure if they carried into the new 2014+ trucks. LS is generally cloth seating, LT and higher is leather seating.

Hm well maybe you forgot the Chevy Tracker LSI which was a limited run. In my research I noticed the Tracker LSI (1999 - 2004) was the only model available aside from the "Base" (plus the ZR2, ltd edition off road package). Turns out base = 2 door, and LSI = 4 door. Thus, "Luxury Sedan" -- just like my 1960 Biscayne LS sedan from many years ago. Oh, and the Tracker has fuel injection. Thus, LSi. My $.02.
