This cutaway van was introduced in 1996 as part of the Savana commercial van family, giving upfitters a factory-built ladder-frame starting point for shuttle buses, delivery bodies, motorhomes and other vocational uses. It arrived alongside the launch of the Savana nameplate and has remained a steady part of the lineup ever since, with the cutaway configuration aimed at customers who need a complete front cab and chassis-ready rear section rather than a finished cargo body. Over time, it has evolved with the rest of the Savana line, but its core mission has stayed the same: provide a durable, flexible foundation for specialty vehicle builders. The nameplate has seen long-running continuity rather than separate discontinued-and-revived eras, making it one of the more consistent commercial offerings in GMC’s modern van history.
