Refinements for the 2002 Chevy Astro

Refinements to 2002 Chevy Astro include smoother operation, more convenience and better aesthetics. Adding multi-port fuel injection to Astro’s standard 4.3-liter V6 engine makes engine operation smoother and longer lasting. The need for an exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system has been eliminated due to improvements in the catalytic converter’s oxygen sensor and computer calibrations. A new synthetic rear axle lubricant reduces axle operating temperatures during towing and hauling for increased seal performance and axle bearing life.

Refinements have also been made to the popular commercial cargo van. Remote keyless entry is available on cargo vans with power door locks and windows, as well as a rear heater and gray cloth seats.

Astro is available in standard LS trim, with LT trim and cargo van options. Standard features include AM/FM stereo with compact disc player, power door locks, windows and power mirrors, remote keyless entry, four-wheel antilock brakes, cruise control, and chrome-clad steel wheels.

The LT trim adds even more refinement to the standard Astro. The trim can include rear air conditioning and heat, special cloth seats, rear Dutch cargo doors with liftglass and rear-window defogger, and brushed 15-inch aluminum wheels.
