In 2008 Chevrolet released the Uplander LS to the van-buying market. The Uplander came in three configurations: LS, LT, and Base. The LS configuration is powered by the 3.9-liter six-cylinder engine, which makes 23 highway miles and 16 city. The Uplander competes in the Mini Passenger Van market segment, in direct competition with Honda.

Chevrolet Uplander Engine Specs

The Uplander LS is equipped with a General Motors 3.9 liter six-cylinder engine that utilizes 12 valves. The engine is mated to a General Motors 4-speed Transaxle. This is a long-standing favorite for buyers in the Mini Passenger Van arena.

The Uplander uses power-assisted brakes, with 4-Wheel ABS support. The front brakes are disc while the rear brakes are disc. Steering is handled through a power-steering rack-style configuration. The van uses coil and coil springs front and rear respectively.

Vehicle Statistics

The Uplander is 204.30 inches long, 72.00 inches wide, and 72.00 inches high. It has a wheelbase of 121.10 inches. It is able to seat 3 comfortably.

The listed retail price in 2008 (MSRP) was $22,730, with an invoice cost of $21,253. This price is above average of the industry average price for a four-door Mini Passenger Van.

Fuel Efficiency

The fuel system for the 2008 Uplander is a traditional SFI, running on FLEX fuel. The fuel is controlled by an electronic system and is a fuel-injected MFI design. The capacity of the fuel tank is 25.00 gallons.

The 2008 Uplander gets 23 miles/gallon on the highway and only 16 in the city. This is exceptional for a mini passenger van van.

We Think...

The 2007 model began the promise of the Chevrolet Uplander. The 2008 expanded on this success and has proven to be a strong seller in most markets. Even with strong competition from other manufacturers Chevrolet hopes that the Uplander LS will continue to be a profitable vehicle.
