Savana sees a host of duties: as a proven passenger hauler – able to accommodate up to 15 passengers – as the foundation for conversion vans and as a durable and reliable commercial cargo van. As such, Savana customers rely on their vehicles to haul and tow items. That task becomes even easier with the introduction of a 6.6-liter turbo-diesel V8 engine. This engine delivers 250 horsepower and 460 lb.-ft. of torque. It is teamed with an electronically controlled four-speed automatic transmission.
In addition to the diesel engine, GMC Savana offers its customers a choice of four GM engines. The 195-horsepower 4.3-liter V6 with multi-port fuel injection is the base engine for light-duty G-vans in all 50 states. The 4.8-liter V8 cranks out 285 horsepower and is used for heavy-duty applications in the 2500 Series cargo vans.
The 5.3-liter V8 has the ability to provide segment-leading acceleration. Used for light-duty applications, it churns out 295 horsepower and 335 lb.-ft. of torque, and is the standard engine in all-wheel drive models. Those seeking more power can opt for a 6.0-liter V8 that delivers 345 horsepower and 380 lb.-ft. of torque.
