GM is introducing several changes to the drivetrain, engine availability, and pricing of the upcoming 2024 GMC Savana, although the major specs of the van model remain unchanged.
The 2024 GMC Savana is also no longer available to order with the updated infotainment system options, with the elements listed below currently unavailable (relevant RPO codes in parenthesis):
- AM/FM stereo with MP3 player and USB port (U0H)
- SiriusXM Radio (U2K)
- Bluetooth for phone (UPF)
- Wi-Fi Hotspot capable (VV4)
The only infotainment feature still available on the 2024 GMC Savana is the AM/FM stereo with MP3 player (RPO code U0F), which is the base audio system of the model. Seek-and-scan, digital clock, TheftLock, random select, auxiliary jack and two front-door speakers are among the standard features of this base stereo.
GM Authority has also discovered full pricing details for the 2024 GMC Savana, which include a significant price increase across the van’s whole lineup of trims, configurations, and variants. All versions of the 2024 GMC Savana are priced higher than their 2023 model-year equivalents, with price increases between $1,600 and $2,900, and most falling in the $2,700 to $2,900 range.
The 2024 GMC Savana has also gotten two new transmissions to replace the older transmission types previously equipped. Power is now sent from the engine to the wheels from the V6 engine via a new 8-speed automatic transmission (RPO code MTH). As for the V8 engine, an 8-speed heavy-duty automatic transmission (RPO code N8X) replaces the six-speed heavy duty automatic previously used.
The GMC Savana continues to receive propulsion from two available powerplants. These consist of the naturally aspirated 4.3L V6 LV1 gasoline engine developing 276 horsepower at 5,200 rpm and 298 pound-feet of torque at 3,900 rpm, and the naturally aspirated 6.6L V8 L8T gasoline engine providing output of 401 horsepower at 5,200 rpm and 464 pound-feet of torque at 4,000 rpm.
As GM Authority previously detailed, a third engine option, the 2.8L I4 LWN turbodiesel Duramax engine, was dropped from the powertrain lineup as one of the changes introduced to the 2023 GMC Savana.
Start of regular production (SORP) for the 2024 GMC Savana will kick off on September 5th, 2023, four days after the GM ends production of the 2023 model year.
The GMC Savana rides on the GMT 610 platform for structure with production taking place at the GM Wentzville plant in Missouri. Notably, Navistar also produces the Savana Cutaway configuration at a separate facility in Ohio.

When is GMC updating there passenger vans wouldn’t it be time in 2024 so I can order a new one
The last major redesign was 2003. Don’t hold your breath. GM seems fine to let Ford and Stellantis dominate the van market.
I wish that GMC/Chevy would please bring back the Astro/Safari mid sized van, had (1) Astro, and (2) of the Safari models, loved the “Dutch” back doors on the Safari.
I have been saying this for years! Give me an AT4 Safari/Astro van with a better name. I played with an AI art generator to render some images of what it could look like. Didn’t get anything perfect but I got some compelling concepts. I don’t think I could sell as many as Honda sells Odysseys, but I’m certain it would outsell any Buick model.
Both GM & Ford have forgotten that “fast quarters” and much better than “slow to no dollars” … they both have got to wake up and build what the public wants to buy. By offering the Astro/Safari that does open a BIG DOOR with a rolling chassis to build two other great vehicles. The Astro/Safari platform was the same platform that the reg/cab short box full sized pickup was built on … so was the 2-Door Blazer that was always loved by everyone. Those three vehicles that I owned two of Safari/Reg/cab Pickup was what we drove, with the exception of a couple of Camaros and Luminas. And the Camaro if what I’ve seen if being dome away with. Both GM & Ford’s management seem to be doing everything to they can to destroy both companies.
Maybe Astro/Safari Hybrid. They were great vans, sisters has 300k miles. The UAW killed them off, cost as much to build little vans as big ones and harder to sell, per dealers. Five passenger, & 350 cf capacity, welcoming dash. Low riding city version & lifted urban. Don’t forget the Dutch Doors, Mary.
When they update this van dramatically, will be when it goes electric. They make way to much money off this design to spend to change it
By that time … GM won’t be a issue as they will be 100% outta business.
I love my Sierra pickups, but I prefer a van. More aero, more cargo, more secure. I would not mind owning the next gen BrightDrop replacement, if it is a Hybrid with Denali amenities, goes 400 miles, tows 7 tons and regenerates in 20 minutes. I’m talking to you Mary & Mark.
