As for the safety criteria, the GMC Savana Passenger Van features stability control, standard antilock disc brakes, traction control, head curtain side-impact airbags for the first 3 seat rows, and OnStar communications. The GMC Savana Passenger Van's cabin offers controls that are well placed and easily operated; however, they are not stylish at all. The space and comfort is reduced due to the fact that the front seats are placed too forward and the wheel humps intrude on the foot wells. For the year of 2011, this model also comes equipped with a USB audio port and BT wireless connectivity for mobile phones.

In terms of appearance, this van is by no means a model of stunning innovative design, its exterior is simple and practical in design. The Savana is perfect as a working class van, with swinging rear doors, a side doors, and a 60/40 split door on the driver's side, which actually appeals to most buyers. The driver is provided with an excellent view thanks to its large tinted side windows. In terms of safety, the 2011's van has not yet been rated, but its 2010 ratings were a perfect 5-stars for both passenger and driver in frontal-impact testing.
