2027 Chevrolet Express: What’s New, What’s Changing, and What Stays the Same
The 2027 Chevrolet Express is a carryover. Chevrolet’s 2027 order guide lists the Express Cargo, Passenger, and Cutaway as unchanged, with no refresh, facelift, or new generation. The one update drivers will notice is inside: a 7-inch HD color touchscreen with Bluetooth replaces the basic audio system on current models. For businesses, church groups, schools, and families that rely on the Express, the rest of the van is exactly what you already know. This guide covers what is new, what is not, and what to ask us about before you order.

What Is New on the 2027 Express
A 7-Inch Color Touchscreen With Bluetooth
The 2027 Express adds Chevrolet Infotainment System 3, centered on a 7-inch HD color touchscreen with Bluetooth phone connectivity and Bluetooth audio streaming. It is reported to be available across the Cargo, Passenger, and Cutaway lineup, and it replaces the basic audio system on current Express models. Some configurations, including the Passenger Van, are also reported to get a four-speaker audio system. Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, USB connectivity, and SiriusXM have not been confirmed for 2027, so ask us about a specific van before you count on any of them.
What Stays the Same
Nearly everything else carries over. The standard engine is the 4.3L V6 with 276 horsepower and 298 lb.-ft. of torque, and the 6.6L V8 with 401 horsepower and 464 lb.-ft. of torque remains available for heavier loads. Both send power to the rear wheels through an automatic transmission. The Express still comes as a Cargo Van, a Passenger Van (in LS and LT trims), and a Cutaway for specialized upfits. Production of the 2027 model year was reported to start in August 2026.
2027 Express Configurations
Express Cargo Van
The workhorse of the lineup, built for contractors, delivery fleets, and trades that need a big, flexible load floor. Ask us about shelving, partitions, and other upfits that fit your work.
Express Passenger Van
Seating for large groups, offered in LS and LT trims. The LS is the straightforward choice for shuttles and group transportation, while the LT adds a more upscale look and feel. We can walk you through seating layouts and the differences between the two.
Express Cutaway
A chassis-cab configuration for businesses that need a purpose-built body, such as a service body, box, or shuttle bus conversion. Cutaway and cargo variants are designed to support specialized upfits.
Should You Buy a 2026 Express or Wait for the 2027?
Because the 2027 Express is a carryover, the biggest difference is the new touchscreen with Bluetooth. If hands-free calling and Bluetooth audio matter to you or your drivers, the 2027 is worth waiting for. If you want a van now, a 2026 Express is mechanically the same, and a good deal on one can make sense. Either way, we will work through your options with you.
