2020 Chevrolet Express
2020 Chevrolet Express Review
- Powerful V8 and diesel engines
- Towing and payload capabilities are near or at the top of the class
- Less cargo space than many competitors
- No high-roof cargo option
- Dated interior styling and touchscreen interface
- Improved eight-speed transmission for diesel engine
- Part of the first Express generation introduced for 1996
The Chevrolet Express and its GMC Savana sibling are the last old-school vans standing. They have traditional body-on-frame construction and lack the high-roof style of newer full-size vans. In fact, the Express hasn't received a full redesign since its debut in 1996. Yet the Express is still around because of continual updates and a strong workhorse capability.
We do like the Express' variety in configurations, and its towing capability is quite strong. In general, however, rivals such as the Ford Transit, Mercedes-Benz Sprinter and Ram ProMaster will likely better suit your business needs.

Chevrolet Express vs. the competition

2020 Ford Transit Passenger Van
Chevrolet Express vs. Ford Transit Passenger Van
Ford long ago committed to the high-roof style van, ending the run of its longtime Express competitor called the Econoline after 2014. That leaves the more modern Transit as the only workhorse in its stable. The stylish Transit carries technology such as Ford's impressive Sync 3 infotainment system, plus it offers advanced powertrains and a more sophisticated ride than the Express.
Chevrolet Express vs. Mercedes-Benz Sprinter
The Sprinter is plenty capable of ferrying passengers and cargo around, and it does it with a little extra style. Fully redesigned in 2019, the Sprinter has an upscale interior and maneuverable handling for its size. There are plenty of configurations including different roof heights, wheelbases and even a four-wheel-drive option. It costs more than the Express but it's a much better van.
Chevrolet Express vs. Nissan NV Passenger
The Nissan NV is somewhat of a go-between, featuring a spartan interior and V6 or V8 power with the configuration of a modern high-roof van. The NV is attractively priced and powerful, but it doesn't offer the range of choice that others do. It will only seat up to 12 passengers and does not have a fuel-efficient diesel-powered engine option.
