The National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA) provides 3
different ratings -
full-width frontal crash test
,
side impact crash test
, and
rollover resistance
. The frontal crash test indicates how
well the safety features and restraints
will protect an occupant in a head-on
collision. The side-impact test conveys
the chance of a severe chest injury,
while the rollover resistance rating
estimates the risk of rolling over in a
single vehicle crash.

Summary:
|
By Professional Test Driver, NewCarTestDrive.com
Although Chevy isn't going to set many styling or performance benchmarks with the '94 Astro CS, it's still a hard-working, high-riding and reasonably priced alternative to some of the more contemporary minivans. The Extended-Body Astro CS is bigger and roomier than several of its competitors. With its rear-wheel drive and 5,500-pound towing capacity, it's also a good choice for boaters and campers.While we gave it only average marks for fit and workmanship, the Astro CS had major pluses: It delivered a quiet, stable ride and performed consistent on the road. |
|
Overview:
|
At first glance, the 1994 Chevy Astro van looks a bit like a delivery vehicle with its squarish profile, short hood and old-fashioned rear double doors. It's a traditional design that may not compare favorably with some of the slinky, aerodynamic minivans from Chrysler and Ford, but the '94 Extended-Body Astro CS we tested had its strong points. Bonus passenger and cargo space, heavy towing capabilities and surprisingly easy handling were a few pluses that helped us overlook the Astro's less-than-breathtaking styling. Understand that the Astro CS, particularly the extended version we tested, falls somewhere between a minivan and a full-size passenger van. Our test vehicle stickered out at $19,593 and gave us options such as eight-passenger seating with reclining front buckets, an AM/FM stereo with a cassette player, air conditioning, locking differential rear axle, power locks and a tilt steering wheel. Standard equipment included a four-speed automatic transmission with overdrive, a 4.3-liter, 165-hp V6 and a driver-side air bag. It was well-equipped for a family van, but boaters and campers might choose the optional 200-hp V6 engine for more towing power.
