Overview

In the realm of fullsize vans, the 2013 Chevrolet Express Passenger Van is well known. Prices go up to an MSRP of $29,510, with a total of 3 trims being offered. With gorgeous, and in fact quite roomy interiors, the Express Passenger offers seating for up to 15 people. We have three engines to choose from. The standard engine on offer is a 4.8L V8 engine mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission. This engine makes 280 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque. Up next is a 5.3L V8 engine mated to a 4-speed automatic transmission, capable of making 310 horsepower and 334 lb-ft of torque. However, if more power is required, one can get a 6.0L V8 engine. This engine is mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission, making 324 horsepower and 373 lb-ft of torque. Chevrolet offers a decent amount of practical as well as cosmetic features, further increasing the prospects of the Express Passenger Van among competitors like the Nissan NV Passenger Van and the GMC Savana Passenger Van.

Buying Advice

You should choose the trim level based on how many people will be accommodating in the vehicle and how much power is required. It is important to select a trim that is compatible with your work needs. The LT trim would be a great choice for all workloads, in our opinion.
