Overview

In the world of cargo vans, the 2014 GMC Savana Cargo Van is a well-known name. Belonging to the fullsize van segment, the GMC Savana competes with the Chevrolet Express 2500 Cargo Van, the Nissan NV Cargo Van, and the Ford Transit Cargo Van. The base trim starts at around an MSRP of $27,710. With 3 trims on offer, prices reach around $45,365. Traditionally offered bareboned, cargo vans can be equipped to fill the need of the buyer. The Savana too can be equipped with packages such as the Chrome Appearance Package, the Cold Climate Package, or the Smoker’s Package, improving either form or function. The standard engine on offer is a 4.3L V6 engine. This engine makes 195 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. The second engine on offer is a 5.3L V8 engine, making 310 horsepower and 334 lb-ft of torque. This engine returns a combined fuel economy of 14 mpg. Moreover, the third engine is a 4.8L V8 that puts out 285 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque. All these engines are affixed to a 4-speed automatic transmission. That said, if more power is required, you can also opt for a 6.0L V8 engine, churning out 342 hp and 373 lb-ft of torque, affixed to a 6-speed automatic transmission. You can also equip the same 6.0L V8 with a CNG fuel type.

Buying Advice

The GMC Savana Cargo is sold in three different trims, with the mid level 2500 trim being the most valuable of the lot, as it offers better load ratings than the base trim. Coming to the features part, it is pretty much barebones. There we recommend opting for available add-ons as per your needs. The GMC offers plenty of options to explore to make your Savana comfortable and more practical.
