New 2009 GMC Savana 1500

Whether it’s for getting your large group or family to their destination or transporting a variety of payloads, the 2009 GMC Savana 1500 full-size van provides car buyers with a strong and flexible option.

The Savana 1500 comes with the choice of rear- or all-wheel drive, complemented by a four-speed automatic transmission. Three available Vortec engines - a 4.3-liter, 195-horsepower V-6, a 5.3-liter, 301-horsepower V-8 and an E85 FlexFuel 5.3-liter V-8 – showcase the muscle necessary for whatever your purpose.

Broken from the same mold as the Chevrolet Express, the Savana 1500 compares well in standard features, available features and price to the Ford E-150 and Dodge Sprinter.  Given the needs of a multi-purpose van, the Savana 1500’s fuel economy isn’t going to drop your jaw. But 13-15 MPG city and 16-20 MPG highway is average mileage for a vehicle of this size.

The Savana 1500 passenger vans have LS and LT trims that feature electronic traction and stability control, and can accommodate up to 15 passengers.

Receiving a remodeled interior in 2008, the Savana 1500 provides detailed driver controls with new gauges and ventilation system controls. An available AM/FM stereo system with 6-disc CD changer provides excellent sound quality for road trips. A 135-inch wheelbase and 17-inch standard wheels anchor the necessary stability for hauling up to 7,300 lbs. of cargo.

Optional amenities on the Savana 1500 include power door locks, power windows, cruise control and a tilt steering wheel for increased convenience. Choices of front leather bucket heated seats with power recline provide ease and comfort for both front passengers.

The StabiliTrak Stability Control System highlights safety in the Savana 1500, helping to keep the ride stable and in control during emergency situations. Standard dual front airbags protect the driver and front passenger in the event of a collision.

Towing and cargo-hauling capacity, interior space and V-8 performance give confidence to those wishing to experience the 2009 GMC Savana 1500 full-size van.
