The new 2008 Chevrolet Astro is a common man's conversion
van that serves everybody's needs. Whether you're taking the
kids to their soccer game, or you're taking the trash to the
dump. New for this year, in addition to cargo and conversion
packages, the Astro comes in two distinct models - the Astro
LS and the Astro LT. The Astro LS comes standard with standard
custom cloth seating for eight and more available cargo space
than many sport utility vehicles. The 2008 Astro LT has all
that and more, including available leather seating surfaces,
HomeLink Transmitter and brushed aluminum wheels with white
outline-lettered tires. In this Chevy Astro review, we provide
the most up to date Astro price quotes, information and assistance
on the web. Enjoy!
Inside the van, no matter which Astro you choose, an impressive
list of comfort, convenience and entertainment features adds
up to one great midsize van. Some of the features for 2008
include:
- Center-row audio controls
- HomeLink transmitter
- Front and rear air conditioning
- Six-way power drive seat
- Remote keyless entry
- Cruise control
- Center console storage
- Available luggage racks
The excellence of the Chevy Astro custom conversion van begins
under the hood, where Vortec power always has been a staple
of Chevy Trucks. Thanks to a 190-horsepower V6 engine and a
four-speed automatic transmission that's second to none, the
Astro has the most standard torque in its class. For trailering,
rear-wheel-drive Astro models can tow up to 5,400 lbs., and
out-tow all front-wheel-drive minivans - some by a ton or more.
The engine also is efficient, achieving an estimated 20 miles
per gallon of highway driving with rear-wheel drive and an estimated
17 miles per gallon of highway driving when all-wheel drive
is engaged.
If this list weren't impressive enough, when you order a
2008 Chevy Astro van with special conversion packages, you
can accommodate a number of additional features, meaning you
can equip it by a certified outfitter with the comfort and
entertainment components that are right for you and your family.
Safety is an important Astro part as well. Some of the van's
new safety features for 2008 include:
- Four-wheel antilock brakes
- Side door beams
- Driver and front passenger airbags
- Battery rundown protection
- Brake wear indicators
- Turn-signal-on reminder
- High-penetration-resistant windshield glass
- Driver lockout protection
- All-wheel drive.
We hope we've conveyed to you the importance of all of these
Astro parts to the overall performance of the 2008 Chevrolet
Astro van. For additional Astro information, or assistance
