This Year's Model Updates:

Long overdue for a redesign, GMC's all-new Envoy finally gets the goods to compete in the highly competitive midsize SUV segment. An all-aluminum inline six-cylinder engine replaces the aging 4.3-liter V6, and a revised suspension dramatically improves the ride. Unlike the 2000 Envoy that was virtually indistinguishable from its Chevrolet and Oldsmobile siblings, the 2002 model now sports a new look that is unique to the GMC brand.

Pros:
  • Sharp exterior styling, strong six-cylinder power, attractive interior design.
Cons:
  • Numb steering, plasticky interior pieces, feels tippy in the twisties.

    $32,000 down the drain!!!! have been working the last few weeks trying to get a buyback from GMC. this suv has been in the shop at least once a month since i bought it...all for the same problem. they can not seem to fix the problem (service engine light is on) ive drove a loaner for 8 days in 3 weeks....picked it up again today. im tired of spending at least one day a week at dealer... i spent over 32,000 on a car i expect it to work! i expect that they will know how to fix it. i would NEVER EVER buy another GMC again.

    Sorry I dont buy the first year vehicle excuse. This is a bad reason for poor quality build. While I like the vehicle overall, there have simply been too many problems. weather trim falling off, transmission problems, incredible wind noise problems, etc...and a geat deal of excuses from GM. Oh its suppose to make that much wind noise...Right Im sure the designers set out to accomplish that very fact!

    Totally disatisfied with our 2002 SLT Envoy. We have had recalls on the fuel filter, transmission, transmission locked into gear, Air conditioner works when it wants to and a repeating noise in the front end that the dealership can not fix.

  • We LOVE this SUV - 2002 GMC Envoy

    We LOVE this SUV. We have had it over a year and have had no significant problems with it. Yes, a few little minor issues arose, but those were taken care of quickly and easily by our dealer. If it were stoled or destroyed tomorrow, we would get another one just like it.

    Excellent towing vehicle. 4.2L inline 6 engine puts out much more horsepower than its predecessor - the 4.3L V6

  • So far, so good - 2002 GMC Envoy
    By -

    After 11 months of ownership, complaints are minor. Top of seat back is too low for 65" driver. With tilt steering wheel in comfortable position, cant read speedometer (blocked by top of steering wheel). Initially, fuel economy was horrid improved to reasonably close to EPA ratings after a few thousand miles. CD/cassette stereo and limited slip only options on our Envoy. No mechanical problems. Dont break a fancy headlight: cost a fortune to replace! Oil changes are expensive: SEVEN quarts of oil!

  • BUY ONE NOW!!! YOULL LOVE IT!!!!! - 2002 GMC Envoy

    THIS IS ABSOLUTELY THE BEST VEHICLE I HAVE EVER OWNED! I HAVE HAD ABSOLUTLEY NOTHING TO COMPLAIN ABOUT IN THE SEVEN MONTHS OF OWNERSHIP. I WORK IN THE AUTO MOTIVE FIELD AND AM VERY PARTICULAR ABOUT CERTAIN THINGS. I SEE THE REVIEWS ON OTHER MAKES IE: BMW X5 4.6is AWD WITH A 340 HP MOTOR THAT HAS A MAXIMUM TOWING CAPACITY OF 6000 LBS. MY LITTLE INLINE SIX IS RATED @ 6100 LBS!! THE ENVOY IS BIGGER INSIDE AND OUT YET HAS A CURB WEIGHT THATS 224 LBS LESS, HAS A LONGER WHEELBASE , BUT HAS A TIGHTER TURNING RADIUS!! SURE ITS NOT GERMAN ENGINEERED ALL THIS AND I STILL SAVED $35,000 OVER THE BEEMER. AM I A HAPPY CAMPER??? YOU BET!!!-

    XL is super. Have justs returned from trip to Florida for a month. 950 miles each way and drove straight thru with comfort. Pulled 6x12 trailer back fully loaded with furniture and no effort. 4000 miles so far and many "nice suv" comments.

  • SUV of the year - 2002 GMC Envoy
    By -

    Great power and with good MPG. Getting 20MPG and thats with the 4.10 gears. 4WD is excellent in snow even with factory tires. Interior styling rivals the Infiniti and Lexus SUVs at a lower price. Only problem so far is memory mirrors that cant find the same position twice. I will probably purchase a second one this year for my wife.
