The 2001 Astro LT is the luxury model of Chevrolet's mini-van, a powerful, 190-hp truck engine and frame masquerading as a passenger van. Front and rear air conditioning, ABS on all four wheels, a roof rack, and daytime running lights are a few of the standard features. Options include a camper/towing package, leather seats, and running boards.

Owner reviews indicate that the 2001 Chevrolet Astro LT is hailed for its comfort/practicality blend; it can haul many people and things comfortably. However, it has its share of mechanical trouble (brakes, fuel pump, rear suspension). Lack of foot room for the driver is also a common complaint.
