The GM Authority Take
The GMC Savana, along with the Chevy Express, is an old vehicle that traces its roots to the 1990s, and the duo remains the oldest models in their segment by a wide margin. They’re also the oldest GM vehicles currently in production. Insufficient inventory has plagued Savana sales over the past few years, but Big Red’s van moved up to fourth place in the segment with a healthy 25 percent bump on a year-over-year basis.
The Savana and Express received a handful of minor changes for the 2022 model year, including the removal of the power window delete option, transmission oil cooler, and CD player option. The 2021 model year saw bigger changes, including the addition of the atmospheric 6.6L V8 L8TÂ gasoline engine to replace the L96 motor (and its gaseous LC8 variant).
For the 2023 model year, the Savana and Express will continue with minimal changes, though one noteworthy change is deletion of the optional turbo-diesel 2.8L I-4 LWN turbo-diesel Duramax engine. The 4.3L V6 LV1 and aforementioned L8T gasoline engines will remain. Production of the 2023 Savana and Express began on August 15th, 2022 at the GM Wentzville plant in Missouri and ride on the GM GMT 610 platform.
The Savana and Express will likely be put to pasture at the end of the 2025 model year with all-electric replacements arriving between 2024 and 2025.

Chevy Express, GMC Savana Recalled For Missing Rear Vision Camera Display
Comments
I have talked to a number of contractors and the Savanna/Express is something they want. They just can’t get their hands on a unit out in California. a V8 gas powered cargo van with lots of bells and whistles. They want back up camera, captain chairs, XM radios, Towing, windows in the rear, sliding door, bulkhead wall, insulated walls and ceiling in rear, power mirrors, powers steps at all door openings, power door locks and blue tooth cell phone.
Very, very, reliable vans as they should be having changed little over decades. Why mess with a working formula? I just cannot buy a Ford Transit or Pro Ram van as they are just too damn ughlee or rinky dinky. I can’t see myself in one.
If I can’t get a GMC van I’m just going to keep driving a truck.
Looking forward to viewing the all-electric replacements.
