Chevrolet Venture

The Chevy Venture 

When 1996 arrived, Chevrolet departed from the "dust buster" Lumina APV minivan, whose design proved to be too radical for the early ‘90s. The Venture brought Chevy's minivans back to reality and in line with the current trends. Like its sisters, the Oldsmobile Silhouette and the Pontiac Trans Sport (later known as the Montana), the Venture came in three trim levels, and, compared to its sisters, had the most basic feel and features. Many of its amenities on the higher trims are common and expected today: a driver side sliding rear door, a roof rack, power windows, adjustable head restraints, and more. The 3.4L V6 with an output of 180 horsepower was the only engine available on all models.

The Venture separated itself from other models by adding one extra seat, bringing the total passenger capacity to eight, one more than its competitors. Unfortunately, the Venture didn't see many improvements over its lifetime, and while sales were an improvement over the Lumina APV, Chevy discontinued the model in the summer of 2005. The Chevrolet Uplander took its place.

Chevrolet Ventures on with a Minivan

The Chevy Venture debuted in 1996 for the 1997 model year to contribute to the growing popularity in minivans. Available as a three or four-door vehicle, the Venture replaced the Lumina APV with a 3.4L V6 and output at about 260 horsepower. It came as a standard or extended wheel base, and was capable of carrying up to seven passengers in a roomy cabin that was nearly silent while driving. Optional captain seats could increase the capacity to eight. Comfortable seats and plenty of storage space only helped make long distance travelling with the family easier. Featuring a tilt steering wheel, antilock brakes, and power-sliding doors, the Chevrolet Venture was a key innovator in the minivan market.

The three-door and standard wheelbase models were discontinued by 2000. Unfortunately, the Chevy Venture failed to keep up with advancements on other models, and the Venture was discontinued in 2005. It still came with great features such as leather seats, a six CD changer, traction control, and satellite radio, but it was not enough to keep the Venture alive. Both the Venture and its work-orientated cousin, the Chevrolet Astro, were replaced by the Chevrolet Uplander in 2005.
