The GM Authority Take
As we’ve noted for a while now, 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.
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. Bigger changes were applied for the previous 2021 model year, such as 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 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.
The GMC Savana and Chevy Express both ride on the GM GMT 610 platform. Production of the 2023 Savana and Express began at the GM Wentzville plant in Missouri on August 15th, 2022.
The Savana and Express will likely be retired at the end of the 2025 model year with all-electric replacements rumored for a 2026 debut.

Well, a hundred years from now, I think they’ll still be selling Savanna
Isn’t it funny if you build them you sell them. Although I still haven’t heard when the 2021 I ordered 2 years ago will be built. What an ignorant company.
I’m looking to buy a van (GMC specifically) and I notice all the different brands on the road but surprisingly I still see a lot of GMC Cargo vans on the road.
price went up $5k from 2022 to 2023 according tot he configurator. at this point though unless it is one of the chip shortage non DOD 5.3 as the base motor, I would not really want these vans. It is also nearly last call, so fleets wanting gas over batteries are probably going all in and buying what they can.
I have 3 Savanas on order. I ordered my ’22s back in March…they were never made so I had to re-order them back in the 1st week of October as ’23s. Those are still sitting in preliminary order status. GM is a joke. Its sheet metal with a box frame, motor, trans and axles. What is so complicated in making these vans?
