CHEVROLET Express 2002-2007 Photos, engines & full specs

A modern design for 2002 and a body-on-frame construction, the Chevrolet Express was a full-size van.

For 2002, the Express got slight updates such as rear-view mirrors with integrated compass and temperature reading, lower CO2 emissions and an upgraded starter.

Seating configurations were available for 5, 8 and 12 passengers, while an extended version was also available, offering seating for up to 15 passengers.

Buyers could choose from a variety of engines available. The most powerful unit offered was the 8.1-liter V8, an engine that cranked out 340 hp and 455 pound-feet of torque. Other available powerplants were a 4.3-liters V6, a 5.0-liter and 5.7-liter V8 and a 6.5-liter turbodiesel V8.

Luxury was also available with the upscale LT trim level, the Express featuring leather upholstery, an optional premium audio system and dual-flip monitors.

Standard features with the base and the LS included child safety locks, front air-conditioning, vinyl seats, antilock brakes and daytime running lights.

The LS trim level added different cloth upholstery, power windows and power locks and cruise control.

Chevrolet kept improving the Express within the years, and for 2004, the van featured the Stabilitrak system (stability control) as standard. In 2008, the interior was completely restyled to bring it more up to date.

The model was available with a 3-door or a 4-door body style, to better suit the needs of the future buyer.
