Overview
The basic need to haul people or things isn't one that evolves rapidly. And neither do the vehicles that serve that need. Case in point: The GMC Savana hasn't seen a significant redesign since its 1996 introduction. Available in both passenger and cargo versions, this van hits its utility targets with few frills. But it's still a solid people or cargo hauler for a good price.
Edmunds spotlight: Equipment, options and features
Available in two cargo capacities and two wheelbases, the Savana is available to meet a range of people/cargo-hauling or towing needs. It also offers two engines. A 4.3-liter V6 cranks out 276 horsepower while the 6.6-liter V8 produces 401 horsepower. Both are paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission. Every Savana is rear-wheel-drive. Two trims are offered: The base LS is a simple van without features like cruise control or keyless entry. The LT gets those features plus rudimentary driver assist/safety features like forward collision alert and lane departure warning. It also gets upgraded trim inside and out.
Competitors to consider
Chevy's Express van isn't just the Savana's most direct competitor; it's also its mechanical twin. It offers a lower starting price and should meet your needs equally well. If you want a more sophisticated, newer van that offers a high-roof option or all-wheel drive, take a look at the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter or the Ford Transit passenger van, which both offer a more modern driving experience and features.
