Chevrolet Astro Van
The Chevrolet Astro van is fitted with a 4.3-liter V-6 engine that is capable
of delivering 190 horsepower; this is coupled with a four-speed-automatic transmission
that integrates the Tow/Haul mode that adjusts shift pattern especially when carrying
heavy loads. This van is also equipped with the standard 4-wheel disc brakes.
Created from a lone body length, the Astro has a 111.2-inch wheelbase and is measured
at 189.8 inches in length.
Because the Astro is taller than the average car, optional running boards are
available to facilitate easier entry and exit. The standard sliding door is another
welcome convenience feature along with the swing-open rear cargo doors. Inside
the Astro is a cabin filled with the latest gadgets which are supposed to give
extra comfort to the passengers.
These interior features include a tilt steering wheel, cruise control, and power
windows, locks and mirrors. The Astro is capable of seating eight passengers in
its two front bucket seats and two rows of three-place bench seats. The LT has
an optional two second-row bucket seats which can replace the bench seats and
is capable of seating up to seven people. Cargo area is expandable as the second
and third row seats can be removed allowing for a larger luggage space.
