Used 2022 GMC Savana Van Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2022 GMC Savana comes in Cargo Van and Passenger Van configurations with 2500 and 3500 load ratings. They're all available with a standard or extended wheelbase except for the 2500 Passenger Van, which comes only in the standard size. Naturally, Savanas with an extended wheelbase can carry more weight, hold more cargo and shuttle more people.

You have a choice of three engines:

  • A standard 4.3-liter V6 (276 horsepower, 298 lb-ft) paired to an eight-speed automatic
  • An available 6.6-liter V8 (401 hp, 464 lb-ft) matched to a six-speed automatic
  • A turbocharged 2.8-liter diesel four-cylinder engine (181 hp, 369 lb-ft) with an eight-speed automatic

GMC offers the Savana Cargo in Work Van trim, while the Savana Passenger offers a choice between LS and LT trim levels.

Which Savana trim does Edmunds recommend?

If you're getting a Savana Cargo Van, it comes only in the Work Van trim level, so you have no choice in the matter. When it comes to the Savana Passenger Van, however, we suggest that you skip the LS in favor of the LT. It includes comfort, convenience and safety features that make living with this rolling relic a little more palatable.
