In some cases, the original recipe hits the market so well that the automaker keeps selling it without major changes, lest they lose the buyers they've captured over the years.That's the case for the Chevrolet Express and GMC Savana, the utility workhorse van that has stayed the same for over 32 years. While competitors have remodeled and modernized over the years, the Savana has stayed virtually the same. Until recently, it was bare-bones, and GM addressed that by adding a touch-screen infotainment system for the 2027 model year.GMVariants and OptionsThe Savana might be simple by default, but you can actually configure it to your specific needs. First, it comes in 2 variants: Cargo and Passenger; the former is available as a 2500 or 3500 with a regular or extended wheelbase. For the Passenger body, you can get a 2500, 3500, or 3500 Extended variant. There are also 2 main trim levels: the LS and LT.AdvertisementAdvertisementThe standard engine is a workhorse 4.3-liter V6 that makes 276 hp and 298 lb-ft of torque, or you can opt for the $1,895 option: a 6.6-liter V8 that puts out 401 hp and 464 lb-ft of torque, with a maximum towing capacity of 10,000 lbs. Both engine types use the same GM 8-speed automatic transmission.GMCThe PriceThe 2027 GMC Savana Cargo starts at $45,095 and includes a $2,395 destination charge, which is $500 up from the outgoing model. The top-spec Cargo, meanwhile, costs $49,845. For the Passenger variant, prices start at $50,945 (2500 LS) and go up to $53,290 (2500 LT). If you want the 3500 versions, the LS starts at $52,145, and the LT retails for $54,090. Lastly, should you want the 3500 extended, the LS costs $52,945, and the LT goes for $54,890.Because the Savana serves different utilitarian purposes, you can choose from several options from the factory or the dealer. One is the Enhanced Convenience Package, which adds the V8, keyless entry with remote start, heavy-duty trailering equipment, a tilt-adjustable steering column, and cruise control for $3,250. You can also get the $3,105 Safety Package, which includes a V8 Side Blind Zone Alert and Rear Park Assist. The Savana Express Passenger comes from the factory as a 12-seater, but for $475 you can upgrade to a 15-seater. The Cargo comes standard with just two or one seat, but for $2,055 you can get the crew van package with a 5-occupant layout.GMCThis story was originally published by Autoblog on Sep 13, 2026, where it first appeared in the News section.
