The GMC Savana Passenger Van is becoming increasingly difficult to find in dealer inventories across the United States. Offered as a mainstay of GM’s commercial vehicle portfolio, the GMC Savana has remained largely unchanged for the last several decades, offering simple, durable transportation aimed at fleet customers. Now, however, there are less than 50 units of the GMC Savana Passenger Van available nationwide.
According to GMC’s official inventory search tool, just 48 new units Savana Passenger Vans are currently available at U.S. dealers as these lines are being written. Meanwhile, the Savana Cargo Van configuration is much more readily available, with 1,247 Cargo Van units listed.
Breaking down the current Passenger Van inventory, only five units of the 2024-model-year 2500 Series remain, alongside nine units of the 2025-model-year 2500 Series. For the 3500 Series models, two units of the 2024 model year and 32 units of the 2025 model year are available. The most widely available exterior color is Summit White (paint code GAZ), with far fewer units finished in Cardinal Red (paint code G7C) or Quicksilver Metallic (paint code GAN), two of the four no-cost color options available alongside Black (paint code GBA).
Passengers can buy the GMC Savana in three different configurations, including Cargo Van, Passenger Van, and Cutaway. Much like the Savana’s Chevy-branded equivalent, the Express, the Savana has seen minimal incentives in the last few years.
As for the power spec, the 2025 Savana continues to offer two options, both of which run on gasoline. The standard powertrain is the naturally aspirated 4.3L V6 LV1, producing 276 horsepower and 298 pound-feet of torque. For those in need of a bit more grunt, the naturally aspirated 6.6L V8 L8T puts out 401 horsepower and 464 pound-feet of torque. Both engines pair with the GM eight-speed automatic transmission.
Production of the 2025 GMC Savana takes place at the GM Wentzville Assembly plant in Missouri, while the Cutaway variant is also assembled at the Springfield Assembly Plant in Ohio by Navistar.

The VA uses these van to bring veterans in for medical care. My grandfather was a volunteer driver for about a decade. He lived in Waukon IA but would pick up veteran in MN, WI and most anywhere in IA and bring them to the VA hospital in Iowa City. Various routes were ran six days a week by a dozen or so volunteer drivers. Together, they would put on around 100K miles a year.
We have a 2500 express 135” WB passenger van . It is in near perfect condition, we traveled the east coast pulling a 24 foot enclosed trailer with a Ferrari and a Radical race car inside. It provided comfort for 6 people and all their luggage for the 7 day trips. The van did this flawlessly, we love these vans
These vans are incredibly rugged and durable and most of all RELIABLE. Never broke down on the road with me delivering wet goods 6 days a week. Well, it did break down but no fault of the van.
One, a flat tire.
Two an Echelin (NAPA) failure of a coil bought as replacement maintenance as the original was working but maintenance schedule to prevent failures, ironically.
Later, a gas station owner years later told me never buy Echilin parts as they had a high failure rate.
