Safari is a twin to the Chevrolet Astro; they're America's only rear-wheel-drive truck-based minivans. Both come as passenger and cargo versions in a single body length with a passenger-side sliding door, and is available with rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. The only powertrain is a V6 with automatic transmission featuring Tow/Haul mode. Antilock brakes are standard. Passenger models offer a choice of two side-hinged panel doors at the back or swing-out half-height "Dutch" doors below a glass hatch. Eight-passenger seating is standard; 7-passenger option replaces 2nd-row bench seat with twin buckets. For 2002, passenger versions get standard deep-tint rear glass and cargo versions are available with remote keyless entry and a rear heater. Safari's performance and accommodations mirror those of similarly equipped Astros.
