The Chevrolet Uplander is a van ( minivan ) of the Chevrolet division of the US manufacturer General Motors with front or all-wheel drive . It was only offered in North America. It replaced the Venture and Astro models . The Uplander was a further development of the Venture and was introduced in spring 2005, the last year of production for the Venture and Astro models.

Compared to the venture, the front end and bonnet of the Uplander were lengthened, the formal premiere took place at the Chicago Auto Show 2004 and production started in autumn 2004.
