2018 Chevrolet City Express: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The biggest 2018 Chevrolet City Express change is that a rearview camera became standard across the lineup. This is a light equipment update, not a redesign; the engine, transmission, body, and cargo layout carry over.
About the 2018 Chevrolet City Express
First and only generation (2015-2018), final year before the City Express was discontinued for 2019.
Chevrolet positioned the City Express as a smaller, easier-to-drive work van for urban business owners and fleet users who did not need a full-size Express. Its core appeal was simple: compact exterior size, a tight turning circle, useful cargo room, sliding side doors, and lower operating costs for delivery routes, service calls, and other stop-and-go city work.
The LS is the simple, work-first version, with 122.7 cubic feet of cargo room, dual sliding side doors, split rear doors, and a fold-flat passenger seat that doubles as a work surface. The LT keeps that layout and adds day-to-day conveniences such as rear parking sensors, cruise control, heated power mirrors, and a rear power outlet.
