Used 2020 GMC Savana Van Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2020 GMC Savana is available in 2500 and 3500 load ratings. The 2500 is short-wheelbase only, while the 3500 is available in a short or long wheelbase and has a higher GVWR. The longer wheelbase also means that 3500 increases seating capacity from 12 to 15 passengers. All Savanas come with a choice of three engines:

  • A standard 4.3-liter V6 (276 hp, 298 lb-ft) paired to an eight-speed automatic
  • An available 6.0-liter V8 (341 hp, 373 lb-ft) matched to a six-speed automatic
  • A 2.8-liter Duramax diesel four-cylinder engine (181 hp, 369 lb-ft) with an eight-speed automatic

GMC offers the Savana in two trim levels: LS and LT.

LS
Starts you off with:

  • Vinyl upholstery and single-zone manual air conditioning
  • Power windows and locks
  • A rearview camera
  • A 4G LTE Wi-Fi Hotspot and a 120-volt household-style power outlet
  • A two-speaker stereo system with AM/FM radio and an auxiliary port
  • Tilt-only steering wheel and cruise control (standard on 3500, optional on 2500)

LT
Comes with the above plus:

  • Cloth upholstery, carpeted floors and chrome bumpers
  • Remote locking and unlocking
  • Lane departure warning and forward collision alert

Options (available in bundled or stand-alone form) for both LS and LT models include:

  • A larger touchscreen infotainment interface with a CD player and a USB port
  • A navigation system and satellite radio
  • A heavy-duty trailering package
  • Rear parking sensors and a blind-spot monitor
  • A heavy-duty locking rear differential
  • A sliding rear door (instead of swing-out)
  • Power-adjustable front seats and power-adjustable mirrors

Which Savana trim does Edmunds recommend?

Since there are a wide variety of configurations available on the Savana, it's best to choose based on your needs first, then your desired equipment. For maximum towing, we recommend the optional 6.0-liter V8 engine. From there, if additional cargo or passenger space is a priority, you can upgrade to the extended-wheelbase model. And finally, for trim-level selection, we recommend the LT for its added convenience and safety features.
