GMC Savana statistics vary by model year, wheelbase, payload class and equipment. The figures below cover United States specifications for the 2025 and 2027 model years, plus selected NHTSA recall populations from 2016 through 2021; they are configuration-specific rather than fleet averages.

GMC Savana Price, Cargo Volume and Model Range
GMC’s current United States cargo-van page is for the 2027 model year. It lists a $42,700 manufacturer starting MSRP, while the featured vehicle shows $43,380; the displayed configuration is not a universal base price.
| 2027 Savana Cargo measure | United States figure |
|---|---|
| Starting MSRP | $42,700 |
| Featured vehicle shown price | $43,380 |
| Maximum available cargo volume | 283.6 cu. ft. |
| Cargo payload classes | 2500 and 3500 |

The same GMC page describes both the 2027 Savana 2500 Cargo and 3500 Cargo with regular or extended wheelbase. These are product-range choices, not sales or registration counts.
For a prior model-year reference, a 2025 Savana 2500 regular-wheelbase Work Van listing showed $43,805 including a $1,995 destination freight charge. That is a specific rear-wheel-drive Work Van build, not a fleet-average transaction price; the source is Build & Price: 2025 Savana Cargo — Your 2025 GMC Savana Cargo Work Van RWD.
GMC Savana Dimensions and Interior-Space Data
The detailed dimensions below describe a listed 2025 Savana 2500 regular-wheelbase configuration in the United States. The extended-wheelbase version has a 155.00-inch wheelbase, compared with 135.00 inches for the regular-wheelbase version.
| 2025 listed measure | Regular-wheelbase figure |
|---|---|
| Wheelbase | 135.00 in. |
| Overall length | 224.05 in. |
| Width without mirrors | 79.25 in. |
| Overall height | 84.75 in. |
| Cargo volume | 239.40 cu. ft. |

The listed front-seat measurements are 40.85 inches of headroom, 41.35 inches of legroom, 68.85 inches of shoulder room and 65.47 inches of hip room. These are front-seat measurements for the specified configuration, not universal dimensions for every Savana body.
Cargo access is defined by the opening as well as total volume:
- The 2025 listed rear door opening is 49.40 inches high and 53.42 inches wide.
- The listed cargo-box width at the wheelhouses is 52.47 inches.
- The listed cargo-box area height is 55.08 inches.
The door figures describe the opening, not the interior height, while the wheelhouse width is a specific measurement point. Configuration and body choices can change the usable space.
GMC Savana Engine, Power and Towing Statistics
For 2027, GMC identifies a standard 4.3L V6 and an available 6.6L V8. The V6 is rated at 276 horsepower and 298 lb-ft of torque, while the V8 is rated at 401 horsepower and 464 lb-ft.
| 2027 power measure | 4.3L V6 | 6.6L V8 |
|---|---|---|
| Availability | Standard | Available |
| Horsepower | 276 hp | 401 hp |
| Torque | 298 lb-ft | 464 lb-ft |
Source: 2027 Savana Cargo Van | Work Van | GMC.
A specific 2025 4.3L V6 build pairs the engine with an 8-speed automatic transmission. Its output is specified as 276 horsepower at 5,200 rpm and 298 lb-ft at 3,900 rpm, and its maximum trailering rating is 7,400 pounds.
Those numbers apply to the listed build and engine.
The broader 2027 cargo page lists up to 10,000 pounds of maximum available trailering and maximum GCWR of up to 16,000 pounds. Neither is a rating that every configuration necessarily reaches; towing capacity depends on the applicable configuration and equipment.

GMC Savana Payload, Weight and Chassis Ratings
The 2027 Savana payload classes show a clear distinction between the 2500 and 3500 lines. Maximum GVWR includes the vehicle, occupants, cargo and equipment; rear GAWR is an axle rating, not payload capacity.
| 2027 cargo model | Maximum GVWR | Regular-wheelbase payload | Extended-wheelbase payload | Maximum rear GAWR |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Savana 2500 | 8,600 lb | 3,280 lb | 3,060 lb | 5,360 lb |
| Savana 3500 | 9,900 lb | 4,280 lb | 4,090 lb | 6,084 lb |
Source: 2027 Savana Cargo Van | Work Van | GMC.
For the detailed 2025 listed configuration, the gross combined weight rating is 15,000 pounds and curb weight is 5,108 pounds. The same specification lists 4,407 pounds of as-specified payload, but options, occupants and equipment affect the usable amount.
These 2025 figures are not directly interchangeable with the 2027 maximum class ratings. The source is Build & Price: 2025 Savana Cargo.
GMC Savana Fuel, Equipment and Driver-Assistance Data
The 2027 Savana Cargo fuel tank capacity is approximately 31 gallons. The 2025 listed configuration also specifies a 31-gallon tank, equivalent to 117.3 liters.
Tank capacity does not establish fuel economy or driving range. The supplied GMC specifications do not provide a reliable Savana-specific EPA fuel-economy series, so no MPG or range figure is stated here.
The 2027 GMC description includes several equipment and feature details:
- Hill-start assist is described for grades of at least 5 percent.
- The cargo-van floor uses six D-ring tie-downs in the described setup.
- Engine displacement is 4.3 liters for the standard V6 and 6.6 liters for the available V8.
The page also frames the 2500 and 3500 as two cargo-van payload classes. Equipment availability can vary by trim or body configuration, and the hill-start threshold is a feature description rather than an independently measured performance test.

GMC Savana Recall and Safety Statistics
Recall figures describe defined campaigns and affected populations, not all GMC Savana vehicles. Several NHTSA and GM records combine the Savana with the Chevrolet Express or refer specifically to incomplete vans, so the scope matters.
The 2018 dealer bulletin for recall 18299 covered approximately 30,289 United States vehicles in the 2016–2018 Chevrolet Express and GMC Savana population. The approximate count includes both nameplates, not GMC Savana alone: Global Safety Field Investigations: Safety Recall 18299 Rear HVAC Controller Fire.
NHTSA’s 2021 consumer alert identified certain 2021 GMC Savana vehicles with 6.6L gas engines in a fire-risk campaign. The campaign was identified as recall 21V-189, and VIN lookup is required to determine whether an individual vehicle is involved: Consumer Alert: Important 2021 GMC Savana and Chevrolet Express Recall for Fire Risk.
Other campaign records show why model year and vehicle type should remain explicit:
- The 2019 noncompliance recall concerned certain 2019 GMC Savana vehicles whose seatbelt-unfastened telltale was delayed by approximately five seconds. The report states that the seatbelt system and warning chimes were not delayed; affected VINs must be checked in Part 573 Safety Recall Report 19V-644.
- A 2016 report covered certain 2014–2016 GMC Savana incomplete vans with a 159-inch wheelbase. The population also included Chevrolet Express incompletes, rather than all completed vans: Part 573 Safety Recall Report 16V-184.
- That 2016 report states that the affected incomplete vans lacked a tire-pressure monitoring system and failed FMVSS 138 conformity.
- For the certain 2014 incomplete-van group, the report gives production dates of August 2, 2013 to May 15, 2014.
- For the certain 2015 incomplete-van group, the report gives production dates of August 25, 2014 to August 8, 2015.
These recall records are campaign-specific safety data. They should not be read as defect rates, sales totals or evidence that every Savana from the named years was affected.
