2005 GMC Savana Review

Summary

What Edmunds.com says

Powerful Vortec engines and some unique features make the Savana (and its twin, the Chevrolet Express) pretty much the only game in town if you're looking for a full-size van that doesn't look and drive like it was designed two decades ago.

Pros

Strong powertrains, dual-passenger access doors, multiple wheelbase and passenger configurations, optional all-wheel drive.

Cons

Plasticky interior, handling still awkward despite improvements.

What's New for 2005

The StabiliTrak stability control system becomes standard later in the model year, but only on one-ton regular wheelbase vans.
