Chevrolet Astro Cargo for Sale

Edmunds' Expert Review

by the Edmunds Experts

Pros

Big-van capacity in a small-van package, available all-wheel drive, high towing ability.

Cons

Engineered in the early '80s, iffy crash test scores, cramped front footwells.

What’s new

No major changes for the Astro Cargo Van this year.

Edmunds says

If you need a small utility van that's tough enough to handle day after day on the job site, the Astro is about the only game in town.

best van on the road

2005 Chevrolet Astro Cargo Rwd 3dr Minivan (4.3L 6cyl 4A)

This is the best van on the road by far better than any other ... Gas mileage can be increased by opting for a K&N air filter .. Replace the 3 1/2 foot muffer with a new modern version and really increase you gas mileage. Keep the motor tuned up and use the long lasting uridium plugs in it .. Move to a 225 16 inch wheel instead of a 215 and go with Michelin xd2's .. Best move I ever made …

1994 Chevrolet Astro Cargo 3dr Ext Minivan

This 94 Astro CS Extended now has over 138,000 miles on it, and the only breakdown was the EGR valve at 120,000 miles. All I did was normal maintenance (oil changes, alignment, tires, and tuneup). General Motors built this one right.

2000 Chevrolet Astro Cargo 3dr Minivan

This is one hell of a van. Aside from the known transmission PCV valve problems (which can be fixed more permanently by using an aftermarket valve), this has to be the most reliable vehicle I've ever owned. Incredibly well designed. Engine is very powerful, more so than any other van I've driven in its class. Unfortunately, Chevy discontinued the Astro as of 2006 so '05 is the last …

Spunky AWD Astro

2000 Chevrolet Astro Cargo 3dr Minivan AWD

I've used my '00 AWD Astro Cargo van for work; where I frequently travel many miles on and off road. The AWD system works well when going up steep dirt hills, and has good poor weather traction. The van is easy to manuver in parking lots, and has nice passing and acceleration power.

We have a limited number of reviews for the 2005 Chevrolet Astro Cargo, so we've included reviews for other years of the Astro Cargo since its last redesign.
