The Chevrolet Astro LT, the Astro's luxury trim, got an upgraded automatic transmission (4-speed) in 1999. Also in 1999, Chevy Astro LT overhead consoles, complete with trip computers, were now standard. A roof rack, dual airbags, power exterior mirrors and driver's seat, and leather steering wheel trim were also among the standard equipment. For some reason,  a rear-window defroster was also standard on the two-wheel drive LT, but optional on the AWD.

Options included a new exterior stripe design available in three colors; running boards; heated, reduced-glare side mirrors; chrome wheels; and a camper/towing package, to name a few.

Some owners love the 1999 Chevy Astro LT, and say it's comfortable, spacious, peppy, and dependable. Others say it spends way too much time (and money) in the shop for a host of problems (brakes, electrical system, etc.).
