With three powerful engines to choose from, along with several comfort and convenience features, the Savana Passenger Van is a smart and versatile choice.

Powertrain and Capabilities

The Savana comes standard with a 4.3-liter V6 engine that produces 276 horsepower and 298 lb-ft of torque, or buyers can elect to upgrade to a larger 6.6-liter V8 engine (401 horsepower and 464 lb-ft of torque) or a 2.8-liter Duramax Turbo-Diesel engine (181 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque). An 8-speed automatic transmission is standard with the V6 engine, and a heavy-duty 6-speed transmission comes with the V8.

GMC equips all Savana vans with General Motors’ StabiliTrak electronic stability control system, which helps the vehicle maintain traction by adapting to road conditions and delivering power to the wheels that need it most. Add the optional automatic locking rear differential, and the Savana automatically locks both rear wheels, so they spin in unison and at the same speed, which further increases traction.

Interior
