Powerful and versatile, Chevrolet Express is a proven passenger hauler that is able to accommodate up to 15 passengers. It's also a reliable and durable commercial cargo van and forms the foundation for conversion vans. For 2008, Express delivers a higher level of safety, a freshened interior that includes a new driver information center and the dependable performance of small-block V-8 engines.


Chevrolet Express has an impressive roster of safety features that is enhanced for 2008 with the inclusion of a standard tire pressure monitoring system, as well as new flat and convex exterior mirrors that offer a wider field of vision.

Standard on all passenger vans and available on cargo vans are head curtain side air bags, providing a higher level of protection in the event of a side impact or a vehicle rollover. For enhanced occupant retention, 12- and 15-passenger models feature Enhanced Technology Glass (ETG). Also new for 2008 are shoulder belts for the center seats on all passenger models.

Other Chevrolet Express safety features include four-wheel antilock disc brake system with Hydroboost, dynamic rear proportioning, StabiliTrak, driver and front-passenger air bags and Daytime Running Lamps. All are standard across the Express model lineup.

Stable handling, precise steering, superior ride motion control and balance, as well as a quiet, isolated driving experience are hallmarks of the Chevy Express. A three-piece frame features fully boxed sections for superior strength and rigidity, while extended and tapered front frame rails are used for improved crashworthiness. Also, additional tubular frame cross members are used to increase torsional stiffness.
