How long is a 15-passenger Chevy van?
The Chevy Express 15-passenger van is typically about 224 inches long in the standard 135-inch wheelbase and about 241–243 inches long in the extended 155-inch wheelbase.
The exact length depends on the year, trim level, and whether you have the regular or extended wheelbase version. The Express Passenger lineup uses two wheelbase options that influence overall length by roughly 17–20 inches.
Length by configuration
The following figures reflect the two wheelbase configurations commonly offered for Express Passenger vans configured to seat 15 passengers.
- Regular wheelbase (135 inches): approximately 224 inches long (about 18.7 feet / 5.69 meters).
- Extended wheelbase (155 inches): approximately 241–243 inches long (about 20.1–20.3 feet / 6.16–6.22 meters).
Note: Exact length can vary slightly by model year, bumper design, and optional equipment. For precise measurements, consult the vehicle’s spec sheet for the specific year and trim.
Practical considerations
Manoeuvrability and parking
Shorter regular-wheelbase versions are generally easier to park and maneuver, while the longer extended-wheelbase variants provide more interior room for passengers and cargo but require more space to park and a larger turning radius.
Interior layout and seating
The 15-passenger configuration prioritizes seating capacity, with variations in seat arrangement and cargo space depending on year and trim. Always verify the specific seating layout for a given vehicle.
Summary
In short, there are two main lengths for a 15-passenger Chevy van: about 224 inches with the standard 135-inch wheelbase and about 241–243 inches with the extended 155-inch wheelbase. For precise figures, check the exact model year’s GM specification sheet or VIN-based build sheet.
