2016 Chevrolet City Express

The 2016 Chevrolet City Express is a small van that seats two people. It’s for drivers seeking a work van with affordable pricing and good gas mileage.

Every City Express has a 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine under the hood that generates 131 horsepower and 139 pound-feet of torque. Power goes to the front wheels through a continuously variable automatic transmission.

Gas can be a significant expense for many small-business owners, and the City Express’s efficient 4-cylinder engine helps keep those costs under control; it earns an EPA-estimated 25 mpg in combined driving. In addition, this Chevy is one of the more affordable picks in its class, costing less than some rivals. It’s excellent for drivers seeking a budget-friendly work van.

This van’s compact size also makes it a more maneuverable choice than larger work vans, like Chevy’s Express. It’s a strong pick if you want a van small enough to travel easily on a congested city street.

There are also a couple of drawbacks to consider. Though this van’s engine is efficient, acceleration is tepid. Other vans in this class are quicker off the line. Also, the City Express’s seats may be too firm for some tastes.
