2026 Chevrolet Express

Consumer Reports does not regularly test vehicles that are designed primarily for commercial purposes. Traditionally the big three have always offered full-size vans. Out of those, the Chevrolet Express/GMC Savana are the most recent redesigns - dating back to 1996. They offer a tall cargo bay with rear hinged doors that can be opened 180 degrees, allowing the van to more closely back up to a loading dock. Versions with eight- to twelve-passenger capacity are also available. Recent models have V6 and V8 gas engines mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission.

About Chevrolet

<p>Once a purveyor of all things automotive, Chevrolet has shifted its focus toward SUVs and pickup trucks, with the supercar-like Corvette being a notable exception. It has been pioneering with electric vehicles, and it continues to introduce new EVs. Most models have roomy interiors, easy-to-use controls, and good array of standard safety and convenience technology. Several models, however, have poor visibility and lack steering agility. Many Chevrolets rate average or below average for reliability in CR’s rankings, resulting in few carrying our recommendation. The Suburban and Tahoe can keep three rows of passengers comfortable within their enormous cabins. The Silverado pickup truck competes with the best-selling Ford F-150 and Ram 1500 by balancing interior comfort with towing and cargo capability. With some exceptions, used Chevrolets can have reliability issues, but are often less expensive to maintain and repair than competitors.</p>
