Never a big seller during a production run that lasted from 1997 to 2005, the Chevrolet Venture was the unsuccessful attempt by General Motor's Chevy brand to make an impact in the crossover minivan market. The 2000 Chevy Venture was released roughly in the middle of the van's lone generation of production, with trims that included--in ascending order of value--the Value Edition, LS, Plus Extended, LS Extended, LT, and Warner Bros. Edition.
Engine, Transmission and Fuel Economy
The 2000 Chevrolet Venture had a 3.4-liter, 185-horsepower V-6 engine with 210 foot lbs. of torque. The transmission was a four-speed automatic overdrive. The gas tank of the Value Edition and LS trims can hold up to 20 gallons, while that of the other trims can hold up to five gallons more. Fuel economy was measured at 19 miles per gallon (mpg) for city driving and 26 mpg for highway driving.
Safety Features
The standard safety features of the 2000 Chevy Venture included power/child safety power locks, ABS brakes, and driver, passenger and front side airbags. Only the LT trim had traction control.
Interior Features
Designed to seat up to seven passengers, the 2000 Chevy Venture had air conditioning, tilt steering and stereo system as some of its standard interior features. All trims save for the Value Edition had power windows and cruise control. The LT and Warner Bros. Edition trims additionally had CD players, driver multi-adjustable power seats and roof racks. Only the Warner Bros. Edition had leather seats.
Exterior Features
The 2000 Chevy Venture van had 18-inch wheels. Those of the Value Edition and Plus Extended were steel, while those of the other trims were made of aluminum. A four-door vehicle, the 2000 Venture was rather bare in terms of exterior features, save for the customary features such as lights and windshield wipers. The van's colors include bright white, carmine red, dark sapphire metallic, medium blue metallic, medium fernmist green metallic, medium redfire metallic, sandrift metallic, silvermist metallic and smoky carmel metallic.
Price
The original manufacturer's suggested retail price for the 2000 Chevy Venture ranged from $20,650 for the Value Edition to $29,350 for the Warner Bros. Edition. As of 2010, a 2000 Venture van, based on automotive valuation from Kelley Blue Book, can be purchased within the $3,000 to $3,800 price range.
