All 3 GMC Safari Passenger Generations
Each generation deals in its rarity tier’s alloy with its engine disc, lead specs, and first spotter record. Click into any generation for full trims and market figures.

The Safari's identical twin, the Chevy Astro, posted the fewest driver deaths per million vehicles of any passenger vehicle in the US in 2002-2005, per IIHS data.

Updating the Safari for 2005 safety rules cost too much, so GM stopped instead. It was the last model Baltimore Assembly ever built.

GMC took the Safari name from Pontiac's station wagons, so from 1985 to 1989 the same dealers sold both a GMC Safari and a Pontiac Safari.
