Chevrolet introduced the second generation of the S10 pickup in 1994, giving up the squared shapes of the first generation, and making the car more family-friendly.
After just three years on the market, the S10 received a facelifted version, which made the car looks more like a Chevrolet Blazer than a utility vehicle. Its rounded body panels and flush front fascia that integrated the headlights didn't turn too many heads, but it still offered the appropriate look for a pickup.
The Regular Cab was the base version, which was built as a work truck more than a family vehicle. A chromed horizontal slat ran across the front fascia separating the headlights from the turn signals, following the mid-90s Chevy's design language. Thanks to the separated bed, the owners could enjoy the lack of noises transmitted through the quarter panels to the cabin.
Inside, the S10 Regular Cab provided room for two occupants at the front. When fitted with a manual gearbox, the gear stick popped up between the seats, while Chevrolet fitted installed a lever behind the steering wheel for the automatic version. For the 1998 model year, the S10 received a redesigned interior with a rounded dashboard design. It looked more like an SUV than a utility pickup. In addition, Chevrolet installed a pair of bucket seats at the front and a tall center console between them.
Under the hood, Chevrolet installed a choice of two engines: a four-pot 2.2-liter or a 4.3-liter V6. The former was available with a five-speed manual, while the latter was exclusively offered with a four-speed automatic.
