Rivals such as the Ford Transit and the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter offer fresher designs and more contemporary technology features, but the well-proven Chevy- and its GMC clone, the Savana-is a staple of commercial fleets across America. The Express comes in both standard and long-wheelbase body styles, the latter of which enables the passenger van to provide seating for up to 15 people. Three different powertrains are on offer, including a diesel, with a range of payload and towing capacities.
