Overview

In the world of cargo vans, the 2018 Chevrolet City Express Cargo Van is a well-known name. Belonging to the compact van segment, the Chevrolet City Express competes with the Ram Promaster City, the Nissan NV200, and the Ford Transit Connect. The base trim starts at around an MSRP of $22,855. With 2 trims on offer, prices reach around $23,715. Traditionally offered bareboned, cargo vans can be equipped to fill the need of the buyer. Delivering a combined MPG of 25, the 2.0L Inline-4 engine on offer here feels potent enough. It is mated to a continuously variable transmission and makes 131 horsepower and 139 lb-ft of torque.

Buying Advice

You should opt for the LT trim instead of the base trim since it includes heated power mirrors, a 12-volt power outlet in the rear, cruise control, and rear parking sensors. For enhanced visual appeal, combine it with the optional Appearance package costing an additional $355.
