"As it has for years, the big Chevy should handle whatever folks throw at it. Furthermore, in the two-horse race against the Econoline, the Chevy Express boasts superior driving dynamics and somewhat more modern styling."'—Edmunds.com¹

"The Express and the Savana stand out in the full-size-van segment owing to the excellent powertrain choices, relative refinement, and available all-wheel drive. They offer a stupefying array of options in the commercial version."—CarAndDriver.com²
