The 2024 Chevrolet Express Passenger 3500 enters the market with notable gaps in its federal safety assessment. Neither frontal nor side crash tests have been conducted by NHTSA, leaving fundamental questions about occupant protection unanswered. This lack of data contributes to its Below Average placement on the NHTSA Safety Index, where it scores 68 out of 100. Despite these untested areas, the model year benefits from a clean record of zero recalls.
The 2024 Chevrolet Express Passenger 3500 earned a 3-out-of-5-star rollover rating and a NHTSA Safety Index of 68/100, based on NHTSA crash test and recall data.

ANALYSISHow safe is the 2024 Chevrolet Express?
The 2024 Chevrolet Express Passenger 3500 posts a NHTSA Safety Index of 68/100, a one-point gain over the 2023 model's 67/100, with both years sitting in the Below Average band. That narrow improvement reflects a stable but not strengthened safety picture. The index breakdown tells the story clearly: the defect record component earns a perfect 20 out of 20, driven by the fact that this model year has zero recall campaigns on file, a meaningful distinction for a large-capacity passenger van. The avoidance tech score of 6 out of 10 reflects that forward collision warning and lane departure warning are both optional rather than standard, while electronic stability control is standard equipment. The crash protection score of 42 out of 70 is the most consequential drag on the index, and it is compounded by the absence of NHTSA frontal and side crash test ratings. The only NHTSA crash result available is a 3-star rollover rating with a 28 percent rollover risk. For a 15-passenger van, that untested frontal and side picture is a real gap that safety-focused buyers should weigh carefully.
NCAP // CRASH TESTHow did the 2024 Chevrolet Express perform in crash tests?
