GM Authority explains Why Chevy Express and GMC Savana Never Change and Never Will…
Another factor is the surge in e-commerce and drop delivery seen during the pandemic, which made delivery vans invaluable for a variety of businesses. Although Chevy Express and GMC Savana sales dipped post-pandemic, GM is still on track to sell approximately 40,000 units in 2024. This figure is also notable given the dearth of incentives, underscoring the vans’ ability to generate significant profit for GM without additional investment.
Of course, one of the most compelling reasons the Chevy Express and GMC Savana persist unchanged is their simplicity. Given the vans share the same basic design and components year after year, spare parts are readily available and relatively inexpensive, making ease of maintenance a significant draw for fleet operators.
While GM is now offering the all-electric Chevy BrightDrop van, the Express and Savana are likely to soldier on as is for the foreseeable future. And though their dated designs may not fit in with GM’s modern lineup, their utility, reliability, and profitability continue to make them indispensable for businesses across North America – including GM.
