The Chevy Express and GMC Savana are dated models that trace their roots to the 1990s, and the duo remains the oldest models in their segment by a wide margin. In fact, they’re the oldest GM vehicles currently in production.

The Express and Savana received a handful of minor changes for the 2022 model year, representing the 19th model year of the respective nameplates. That includes removal of the power window delete option, transmission oil cooler, and CD player option. Bigger changes were applied for the previous 2021 model year, such as the addition of the atmospheric 6.6L V8 L8T gasoline engine to replace the L96 motor (and its gaseous LC8 variant).

For the 2023 model year, the Express and Savana 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 Express and Savana began on August 15th, 2022.

The Express and Savana will likely be put to pasture at the end of the 2025 model year with all-electric replacements rumored for a 2026 debut.

  1. Where are all of these vans going? Not to average consumers. I’ve had mine on order since 12/9/2021.

    1. My dealer said it would take ONE YEAR to come in if I order one so you should receive yours in a couple of months.

      1. I would say the fastest way to get behind the wheel is to feel out different dealers on price and then have them call you when they have an allocation for what interests you. I would avoid the ones that tell you to give them the deneros and then wait by the phone. Fugetaboutit.
