The GMC Savana soldiers into the 2024 model year as one of the oldest automotive designs on the market. Alongside the mechanically identical Chevy Express, the GMC Savana has been in the same generation since 1996 and got a facelift in 2003. Call it antiquated, but the Savana has an old-school charm that’s become hard to find in commercial vans. It’s a van with truck-like capabilities thanks to its optional V8, giving it a class-leading maximum tow rating of 10,000 pounds.
Nothing on the market is quite like the GMC Savana, except the aforementioned Chevrolet Express. It competes against more modern (and more expensive) commercial vans like the Ford Transit, Ram ProMaster, and Mercedes-Benz Sprinter.
Prices are current at the time of publication.
What’s New:
The V8 engine is no longer available in the Cargo Van variant of the Savana. You can only get the V8 in the Passenger Van and Cutaway models, and it comes with a new 8-speed transmission, bringing greater refinement to this workhorse. Also, the previously optional infotainment system with Bluetooth, SiriusXM, and a USB port is no longer available.
Our Recommendation:
It’s tough to recommend a commercial van without knowing the needs of your business or family. We recommend upgrading to the LT trim with luxuries like standard cloth seats, cruise control, and more safety tech if you need a passenger van.

2024 GMC Savana Cargo Work Van: $40,700
The Cargo Van variant of the GMC Savana is available only in one aptly named trim: Work Van. It’s available in 2500 (8,600-pound Gross Vehicle Weight Rating) and 3500 (9,600-pound GVWR) variants and standard-wheelbase ($40,700 for 2500, $43,800 for 3500) and extended-wheelbase ($42,600 for 2500, $44,600 for 3500) lengths.
Every Savana Cargo Work Van is powered by a 4.3-liter V6, producing 276 horsepower and 298 lb-ft of torque.

The Enhanced Convenience Package ($3,055) adds remote keyless entry, remote vehicle start, and heavy-duty trailering equipment. The Safety Package ($3,105) brings convenient safety features like rear parking sensors and blind-spot monitoring. The Enhanced Convenience and Safety packages come with the Communication Package’s contents.
The 5-passenger Crew Van Package costs $1,965 and adds a second row of seats.
