It remained the same for the majority of this generation, and, as the minivan market formed and more options became available, family-orientated minivan buyers opted for the Chevy Venture instead. The same 4.3L V6 was offered, but with 10 less horsepower. The second generation, arriving in 1995, was only available in the extended chassis version from the first generation. This and its 4.3L V6 made it the perfect option for buyers in need of a dual-purpose vehicle built for towing and transporting families and cargo alike. It could also tow more than its competition with its body-on-frame design, including a sub frame. The 1985 Astro could seat up to eight (one more than the competition) and, like the Toyota Van, had rear-wheel drive, a layout that was slowly being phased out during this time and could not be found on the front-wheel drive Chrysler models. Chevy marketed the Astro as a vehicle "built to do more than a minivan can," and they weren't lying. This lead to the creation of the Plymouth Voyager and Dodge Caravan, which dominated the all-new North American minivan market.Ĭhevy wanted a piece of the action, and so the Chevy Astro and its twin the GMC Safari debuted for the 1985 model year. Lee Iacocca, working for Chrysler, brought rejected plans from his long-time employer Ford over to Chrysler to introduce the new vehicle. Before the minivan arrived, buyers were used to cramming their family and belongings into station wagons to handle those long trips and pesky kids.
