This model is the Long Wheelbase (LWB) variant of the facelifted Chevrolet Express, launched in 2002.
It was based on an wheelbase 20 inch longer than the base model, while featuring the same rear-wheel-drive configuration as the SWB. Much like the Chevrolet Express SWB, this model was available with both cargo and passenger configurations (up to 15 passengers) and was assembled in Wentzville, Missouri (USA). The model underwent several modifications in the past few years, the most important of which being the introduction of standard side impact roof airbags on all passenger models.
