• In 1996, GMC began producing the Savana, a van for commercial and passenger services. The full-size vehicle was created as a replacement for the Rally Wagon. Over time, the Savana has seen some changes to its specifications. The 2000 model comes in five trims, helping consumers to find a Savana that fits their specific needs.
