Built from April 2001 to 2012 (to 2014 in the Philippines), also sold in Japan as the Isuzu Como, which replaced the last-generation Isuzu Fargo (a rebadged E24 Caravan). Petrol engines were the KA20DE, QR20DE, KA24DE and QR25DE and the diesels the 3.0 L ZD30DD and intercooled turbo ZD30DDTi. Mexico was the only North American country to receive the Caravan vans, until the US-built Nissan NV replaced it after 2010. The New Zealand Urvan got a one-star ANCAP rating.

Chevy pitched the Astro as the anti-minivan, telling buyers life was too big for one, while it rode on a rear-wheel-drive truck frame.
