The 2005 Chevrolet Astro is a rear-wheel drive minivan with an optional all-wheel drive variant, catering to the needs of families, businesses and fleet uses. Produced in two trims -- Base and LS, the Astro was appreciated for its truck-based robustness and towing capacity. Powered by a 4.3-liter V6 engine, it churned out 190-horsepower coupled to a four-speed automatic transmission. It offered decent cargo and passenger room, and was the last year of production for the Astro. Its key safety features included antilock brakes and front airbags, though the absence of side airbags was a noted drawback. The modest infotainment system featured a standard AM/FM stereo, but it did not offer modern connectivity options like Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. 2005 marked no significant changes from the previous model year.
