The 2002 Chevrolet Astro is a middle-generation minivan that offered functionality, versatility, and durability. Two trims were available, base and LS, offered either in RWD or AWD variants. Under the hood, it housed a competent 4.3L V6 engine that delivered around 190 horsepower, all mated to a trusty 4-speed automatic transmission. Though its interior design reflected its age, the Astro's large cabin could seat up to 8 passengers, highlighting the minivan's strength in being a substantial people-carrier. While it did lack modern infotainment technology, it made up for it in terms of cargo and passenger space. Despite the minivan’s antiquity, it graced the Chevy lineup with standard safety features such as antilock brakes and airbags.
