Chevrolet Astro Model Overview

The Astro made its first appearance in 1985 and put Chevy into the minivan market, competing against American vehicles such as the Ford Aerostar and Dodge Caravan. However, for a van seemingly intended to be a family vehicle, the Astro was plagued by poor safety ratings.

The Astro had a much wider consumer base than simply families. The van was very popular among those looking for a conversion-van platform or for those that wanted to otherwise customize their vehicles.

Trims included CL, CS, LT, and Sport.
