THE RIGHT ENGINE REQUIRES THE RIGHT ENGINE LINEUP.

Choosing the right engine begins with a wide selection. Savana Passenger Vans give you the choice of three Vortec V8 gasoline engines, while Cargo models also include a highly fuel-efficient V6. Both Passenger and Cargo models also offer the enhanced available Duramax 6.6L Turbo Diesel V8 that receives a significant boost in output for 2011, producing 260 hp and a prodigious 525 lb.-ft. of torque. The engine has proven itself with more than a million units already in service and its fuel efficiency is increased by the 6-speed automatic transmission that is mated with all Duramax engine applications in Savana.

BETTER TRACTION — BETTER CONTROL.

Savana is the only full-size van to offer All-Wheel Drive (AWD), available in both 1500 Cargo and Passenger models.** This full-time, single-speed AWD normally operates in a 35/65 front/rear torque split. When wheel slippage occurs, additional torque is transferred to the other axle. New for 2011, all Passenger and Cargo models feature the enhanced driver control of the StabiliTrak® electronic stability control system. It detects a loss of lateral traction (sideslip), understeer (plowing) or oversteer (fishtailing), intervening to help return Savana to your intended line. That's on top of a standard 4-wheel anti-lock braking system (ABS).
