Need Chevy Venture Parts?ĭebuting in 1996, the Chevy Venture minivan became known for its comfort and smooth handling – very important while driving the kids to soccer or going on a long trip to the supermarket – until being discontinued in 2005. 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 Venture separated itself from other models by adding one extra seat, bringing the total passenger capacity to eight, one more than its competitors. The 3.4L V6 with an output of 180 horsepower was the only engine available on all models.
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. 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. The Venture brought Chevy's minivans back to reality and in line with the current trends. When 1996 arrived, Chevrolet departed from the "dust buster" Lumina APV minivan, whose design proved to be too radical for the early ‘90s.
