“Has so many neat features like auto window up/down at push of one button, daytime running lights, and many more. BUT no power door locks. Should have power door locks with 5 doors on this vehicle.”
2015 Chevrolet City Express: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The 2015 Chevrolet City Express was an all-new compact cargo van and the model’s first year in the U.S. Chevrolet positioned it below the full-size Express for city deliveries and small-business work.
About the 2015 Chevrolet City Express
1st and only U.S. generation (2015-2018), first year
Chevrolet positioned the City Express as a small-business cargo van built for crowded streets, tight parking spaces, and day-to-day service work. Its core appeal was being easier to maneuver than a full-size van while still offering useful enclosed cargo space, low step-in height, and practical work-friendly details like a fold-flat passenger seat and cargo tie-down points. It was meant for contractors, delivery drivers, and local service businesses that valued city-friendly size over maximum hauling power.
The LS focuses on work basics, with dual sliding doors, cargo tie-downs, split rear doors, and a fold-flat passenger seat that doubles as a desk. The LT keeps the same cargo-van layout and adds everyday conveniences such as Bluetooth, cruise control, heated power mirrors, remote keyless entry, and rear parking sensors.

“I'm disappointed with the City Express because it is several steps down from my Chevy Malibu. The City Express has no get up and go. I'm going to the trouble of having OnStar installed at the tune of $800. I would have bought it as an option new.”
