Chevrolet Venture
Wherever you're going, Chevy Venture makes travel fun for everyone.

Overview
The Venture is Chevrolet’s minivan that was introduced in 1997 to
replace the Lumina APV, and 2005 will be the final year for Venture before it
is replaced by the Uplander. The Venture has been available in two different
lengths with either FWD or AWD, but is offered in extended length FWD
versions only for 2005.
New for 2005
Venture is offered in extended length, FWD versions only for its final
model year. The Sport Touring Package for LS includes 16-inch chromed
aluminum wheels, touring suspension, automatic suspension leveling, inflator
kit, and tachometer. New exterior colors: Sandstone Metallic and Dark Blue
Metallic.
