Now in its incredible 30th model year, the first-generation Chevy Express continues to deliver reliable, versatile solutions for businesses and anyone else in need of simple, practical transportation. The latest 2025 Chevy Express carries on that workhorse ethic with only minimal changes compared to the preceding 2024 model year. Now, customers can spec the 2025 Chevy Express as they see fit using the official online configurator tool at Chevrolet’s website.
Navigating through the configurator tool, buyers can choose between the Cargo Van and the Passenger van variants. Selecting the 2025 Chevy Express Cargo model opens up several configurations, including the 2500 Regular Wheelbase, the 2500 Extended Wheelbase, the 3500 Regular Wheelbase, and the 3500 Extended Wheelbase. Selecting the 2025 Chevy Express Passenger model opens up the 2500 Regular Wheelbase, the 3500 Regular Wheelbase, and the 3500 Extended Wheelbase variants.
The base price for the Express Cargo 2500 Regular Wheelbase starts at $43,695, ranging up to $51,245 for the Express Passenger 3500 Extended Wheelbase variant. Note that these prices exclude additional fees and optional equipment. Check out our previous coverage for more in-depth 2025 Chevy Express pricing information.
Powertrain options are unchanged from the 2024 model. Customers are offered the naturally aspirated 4.3L V6 LV1 gasoline engine as standard spec, rated at 276 horsepower and 298 pound-feet of torque, while the naturally aspirated 6.6L V8 L8T gasoline engine is offered as well, delivering 401 horsepower and 464 pound-feet of torque. Both engines pair with the GM eight-speed automatic transmission (V8 models get the heavy-duty variant), with rear-wheel drive included as the standard layout.
Exterior customization is limited, with standard paint options including Summit White, Black, Red Hot, and Silver Ice Metallic. Special fleet orders provide additional color flexibility. Inside, seating configurations accommodate up to 12 passengers in the Passenger Van.
Notable updates for the 2025 model include the removal of the audio system upgrade and the introduction of a rearview camera mirror feature, enhancing safety and usability.

“Spec the workhorse as you need it.”
And who’s going to build it?
Into the second year now that I’ve ordered one.
Giving up,
Really? Two years? That’s pathetic. These nearly 30 year old designs have to be highly profitable for GM. I’d surmise the most profitable products in the portfolio. Given their extreme age, they should be able to effortlessly churn them out all day and essentially “print money” with them, which they desperately need.
Instead of continuing to fire IT people, the engineering and design staff, the winter testing and assembly employees, among others, they need to fire the senior managers that allow this situation to exist.
They’re 30 years old but apparently the most reliable and most durable which is why they are still loved by many fleet owners. The Sprinters are also highly reliable but really expensive to purchase and run, the Transits aren’t as good or as durable as the Econolines they replaced and the ProMasters I read endless reviews from fleet owners what piles of s*** they are and how they’ll have multiple ones in the shop. Not many options out there unfortunately.
To sum up- they are the “LC70” of vans. Why? because the generation is almost as old as the Land Cruiser 70….
Even in the most harshest conditions these vans can STILL RUN…so there is that.
I’ve had one on order since December 9th 2021
Well we’re talking about reliable on the vans but what good does that do for the customers can’t even get one I think it’s time for and update we’re in 2024 not in 1970s we need and whee l drive
This DOES NOT need an update. It is perfectly fine at what it does.
It doesn’t do anything if nobody can buy one.
Would be cool if the article about the now live webpage actually had a link to the now live webpage.
