No problem for Chevy Venture LT and Warner Bros. Edition models equipped with available Versatrak — GM’s exclusive, all-new, all-wheel-drive system. Because with Versatrak, the added confidence of enhanced traction and control is always there, when and where you need it most. Chevy Venture with Versatrak. The most versatile minivan ever just became even more versatile. Traction on demand Under normal driving conditions, Venture with Versatrak remains in front-wheel-drive mode. Should the front wheels lose traction on a low-grip surface like ice, snow or gravel, Versatrak will instantly send power to the rear wheels. Once the low-traction condition is detected, the system will remain in all-wheel-drive (AWD) mode until all of the wheels regain equal traction, and then return to front-wheeldrive mode. Versatrak AWD is so unobtrusive, you may never even notice it at work. Versatrak all-wheel drive can be explored further by visiting chevy.com/venturebrochure Independent rear suspension and four-wheel disc brakes Versatrak is smart There are no buttons to push. The system senses and adapts to the changing road conditions to provide maximum traction and control. Versatrak also knows when a compact spare tire is being used and will automatically compensate. And a Self-Save Mode helps protect components from overheating should the going get tough. The Versatrak system includes an independent rear suspension with monotube shock absorbers and lightweight alloy control arms to help improve handling performance. The design is so compact, the rear load floor remains flat for optimal versatility. And the four-wheel disc brakes, included only with Versatrak, help to enhance stopping power. Light on its feet AWD security with great MPG Based on an EPA estimated MPG of 18 city and 24 highway, Venture with Versatrak AWD provides extra traction when needed, while still offering better fuel economy than Dodge Caravan AWD models (EPA estimated MPG of 17 city and 23 highway) and the same fuel economy as a front-wheel-drive Caravan equipped with the available V6 engine.* *Based on 2001 EPA competitive estimates. Chevy Venture LT in Dark Tropic Teal Metallic equipped with Versatrak. Versatrak features many components made of lightweight cast aluminum. The entire system adds only 200 lbs. to the weight of Venture.
