The Chevrolet Van, introduced in 2002, was a full-size van characterized by its contemporary design and body-on-frame construction.
The 2002 model year brought several refinements to the Van lineup, including rear-view mirrors equipped with integrated compass and temperature displays, reduced CO2 emissions, and an enhanced starter motor.
The vehicle offered flexible seating arrangements to accommodate varying passenger capacities. Standard configurations included options for 5, 8, and 12 passengers, while an extended variant provided seating for up to 15 occupants.
Chevrolet offered a diverse engine lineup to meet different performance needs. The range-topping powertrain was an 8.1-liter V8 engine, delivering an impressive 340 horsepower and 455 pound-feet of torque. Additional engine choices comprised a 4.3-liter V6, 5.0-liter V8, 5.7-liter V8, and a 6.5-liter turbodiesel V8.
For those seeking enhanced luxury, the premium LT trim level was available, featuring leather interior appointments, an optional high-end audio system, and dual flip-down monitors.
The base and LS trims came standard with a range of features including child safety locks, front air conditioning, vinyl seating, anti-lock braking system, and daytime running lights. The LS trim further included upgraded cloth upholstery, power windows, power door locks, and cruise control.
Chevrolet continually updated the Van over the years. Notable enhancements included the introduction of the Stabilitrak stability control system as standard equipment for the 2004 model year, and a comprehensive interior redesign in 2008 to modernize the cabin.
To cater to various customer requirements, the model was offered in both 3-door and 4-door body configurations, providing flexibility to meet the diverse needs of prospective buyers.
