Chevrolet Astro: The Can-Do Van

Got a job to do? Chevrolet Astro can handle it. Astro packs a 190 hp Vortec 4300 V6 engine that generates 250 lb.-ft. of torque and provides you with a towing capacity of 2449 kg (5400 lb.). Not only does Astro provide the most towing capacity in its class*. Astro also provides a lot more towing capacity than any minivan*. And standard on all Astro models is a Tow/Haul mode that enhances trailering ability by producing a more aggressive automatic transmission shift pattern to compensate for heavy loads. Astro is available as a cargo van or a passenger van. And every one comes with legendary Chevy capability and strength built right in.

Fill ‘er Up
Astro is far more than a strong and capable hauler. Inside Astro Passenger Van, for instance, you‘ll find a standard eight-passenger seating configuration, with front bucket seats and removable three-passenger second and third row bench seats. The second and third row seatbacks can be folded forward to create a flat loading surface. Or if you remove the bench seats completely, Astro provides a total cargo capacity of 4825 L (170.4 cu. ft.). If it's people you‘re carrying, you‘ll be happy to know that Astro includes air conditioning, power door locks and windows, cruise control and CD player, standard.

The Confidence Factor
There are many reasons to feel confident in Astro. And of all those reasons, a long list of safety features is perhaps the most important. Astro includes standard four-wheel vented disc brakes with anti-lock braking systems, driver and front passenger frontal air bags, and many other built-in safety items like steel side-guard door beams and front and rear crush zones. So no matter what you put into Astro, peace of mind is already there.
