2025 GMC Savana Specs, Interior, MPG
2025 GMC Savana Specs, Interior, MPG – The GMC Savana, one of the best-selling cars in North America, comes in a wide variety of prices, with the lowest trim costing more than $50,000 more than the top model. And although buyers seeking luxury can consider the fully equipped Denali Ultimate level, the 2025 GMC Savana offers even more aggressiveness and off-road capability along with a very smooth ride. 2025 GMC Savana Specs
2025 GMC Savana Redesign and Update Plan
Exterior and Interior
The GMC Savana isn’t the smallest rig on the road, but the camera and sensor gadgetry can help make daily life easier. The rear camera mirror takes some getting used to, but once your eyes become accustomed to focusing on a screen it affords greater rearward visibility in both day and night. When parking and reversing, there are infinite camera angles to help you out – but remember: there’s no useful backup camera when the tailgate is down.
Ergonomics in the Sierra are a strong suit, and plenty of hard buttons and knobs handle most everyday functions. The dual-zone heating and air conditioning controls are somewhat busy but will always be preferable to full-touch interfaces. Under the volume knob there’s a home button to get to the main menu for the infotainment, which is a plus. A move to a console-mounted shifter is easy to get used to but may draw some ire from die-hard column shift lovers.

Additional features include wireless phone charging, a heated steering wheel, LED headlights, a head-up display, a spray-in bedliner with the AT4X emblem, a 12-speaker audio, a 12.3-inch touchscreen screen, a microsuede headliner, and GMC’s transforming MultiPro tailgate. The MultiPro tailgate has a built-in sound system that pairs with your phone to stream music over Bluetooth, making it ideal for partygoers.
Engine and Performance
There’s only one powertrain available with the Sierra AT4X package – a 6.2L V8 paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission. (Other trims get the option of a diesel, but that’s not the case here, unfortunately). With 420 hp and 460 lb-ft of torque, the AT4X merges and passes quickly and lets out a satisfying burble as it sweeps through the rev range. The transmission makes the most of the power on tap with a small amount of gear hunting and a bit of unrefined jerkiness at low speeds. For torque lovers who insist on diesel, the regular AT4 can be so equipped. 2025 GMC Savana Specs
2025 GMC Savana Fuel Economy
While half-ton trucks aren’t noted for their fuel economy, those riding on mud-terrain tires will are notably worse due to increased rolling resistance. With Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) ratings of 16.7 L/100 km in the city and 14.0 on the highway, this test saw an observed 14.8 in mostly highway driving, including plenty of winter-time remote-start idling. To twist the knife a little more, premium fuel (91 octane or better) is recommended. Thanks to cylinder deactivation, cruising at 80 to 90 km/h does net impressive highway mileage that can beat the rated figures. Still, much of this is negated once you hit triple-digit speeds.
Against its peers, fuel economy is marginally worse than the turbocharged V6 of the Ford F-150 Raptor and is handily worse than the hybrid Toyota Tundra TRD Pro. However, it isn’t the worst in its class; that title goes to the much more powerful Ram 1500 TRX that gets 22.4 L/100 km in the city and 16.5 on the highway (yikes). 2025 GMC Savana Specs
2025 GMC Savana Safety Features
Aside from its rugged good looks, the Sierra AT4X has a few more party tricks that make it more than just a pretty face. Proper electronic locking front and rear differentials are class-exclusive; not even the Ford F-150 Raptor or Ram 1500 TRX get them. There’s also a selectable terrain mode, which can modulate throttle and brake controls for precise one-pedal operation when crawling off-road. 2025 GMC Savana Specs
2025 GMC Savana Price and Release Date
The AT4X starts at $98,703, and with the AEV Edition package mixed in with a few other incidental options, the as-tested price balloons to $109,038 with destination fees and A/C tax. In addition to competing with the Denali Ultimate, the GMC finds itself right in the crosshairs of the renowned Ford F-150 Raptor, which gets more output (450 hp and 510 lb-ft of torque) and arguably more brand recognition. A comparably equipped Ram 1500 TRX is about $15,000 more, but 702 hp and 650 lb-ft greets you in return. Meanwhile, the Toyota Tundra CrewMax Limited TRD Pro is nearly $20,000 cheaper but isn’t as nice as a truck. 2025 GMC Savana Specs
