2026 GMC Savana
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. Eight to twelve passenger capacity versions are also available. Recent models have V6 and V8 gas engines mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission.

Brand context
About GMC
<p>Most GMCs SUVs and trucks are essentially versions of Chevrolets with different badges, different styling, and some extra luxury features. Overall, though, GMCs don’t often stand out, equipment-wise, from their mechanical siblings. Like many Chevrolets, GMC vehicles’ interiors are spacious and comfortable thanks to large exterior dimensions. Its SUV lineup ranges from compact models like the Terrain to the three-row Yukon XL, which can carry up to eight passengers and their luggage—no small feat. GMC’s pickup truck line ranges from midsized models like the Canyon and the popular Sierra 1500, and goes all the way up to commercial-grade “dually” trucks with four rear wheels. The brand has offers EVs, including an all-electric pickup and the enormous, heavy Hummer EV, which is sold as either a pickup or SUV. Both used and new GMC models rank below average in Consumer Reports’ reliability ratings.</p><div> <p><br/></p></div>
