Overview & Reviews

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.

• Sharp exterior styling, strong six-cylinder power, attractive interior design.

• Numb steering, plasticky interior pieces, feels tippy in the twisties.

  I really cant complain! - 2002 GMC Envoy
  By Tony E. - August 26 - 2:00 am

  Ive just put my first 300 miles in my Envoy. I love all the features it has. My daughter just wished it had rear seat center arm rest thar my previous SUV had. I feel so comfortable on the plush leather seats. The power 6cylinder is there when I need it. I get nothing but compliments when people see it. It looks nothing like a "boxy" American cars. I also purchased the 4/60,000 mile top-of-the-line ext. warranty just in case.

  easy now - 2002 GMC Envoy
  By chris - August 2 - 8:15 pm

  Love the GMC Envoy. 02 couple of things! great seating, comfy ride, Bas location was the cup holders in front passengers and the rearview mirror, Had to replace all ball joints, and bushings, now the water pump needs replaced, Also the mirrors make a whistling noise when driving. Other than that vehicle is great.. routine maintenance is all thats had to be done. no major engine problems. knock on wood..

  After 1 month some observations - 2002 GMC Envoy
  By kvilleboy - March 23 - 11:50 am

  Offers comfort, power, utility, & style. Seats are comfortable & it is easy to get into and out of. Bose sound system is great. Air suspension is very smooth & bumps are well damped. Avg 18-19 mpg. When started cold, theres a slight hesitation /flat spot on acceleration, that goes away quickly. Passenger cabin heats more quickly in morning. Quality control at GM is better than it used to be, but they still have a lot to learn.

  This vehicle saved our lives - 2002 GMC Envoy
  By mommyof2boys - February 18 - 8:00 pm

  We bought our Envoy when I was expecting our 2nd child. I am so thankful we did. In December of this past year we were in an accident. My Envoy was totaled but we all survived. My 4 year old had to have 3 stitches above his eye and my 7 year old walked away without a scratch. I had internal bruising from the airbag. We hit at 50MPH. It was a front impact then the other car spun around hitting my 4 year old directly in his door. This vehicle crumbled, but the inside structure stayed perfectly intact. Only 1 door would open. It was a bad wreck. We knew we wanted another vehicle like this and searched until we decided on an 06 Trailblazer EXT. I pray its as good as the Envoy.

  Buy the Extended Waranty - 2002 GMC Envoy
  By Laura - August 25 - 8:53 am

  First off this Envoy was the upgraded Denali version, which right off, was alittle more added to the price tag. I just traded this in after 3 years, and within this past year I had to have 3 tie rod ends, yes that is 3. Why do you ask, because I needed another "knuckle" replaced at 88,000. The first one was replaced at 47,000 just before my warranty ran out. The leather seats started to "wear off" at 15,000. This vehicle was in the dealership so much, they knew me by name. The dealer also never heard of replacing the knuckle, again, until they met me. I was getting about 20 mpg which isnt bad, and it never left me stranded. I just feel this truck had way too many issues for the money

  So far so good - 2002 GMC Envoy
  By Ed - August 14 - 9:00 am

  I bought a 2002 Envoy SLT at 93K miles. So far Ive put 3K miles on it and have been very pleased. I use it mainly for towing a travel trailer and with the powerful V6 it does a good job. Interior is great, very comfy leather seats and I love the stereo. The ride is smooth and great acceleration. Gas mileage (without towing) is surprisngly good too. Highway only driving is about 22MPG, city about 15. Not great but not bad for a powerful SUV. I was hesitant to buy a used GM vehicle. But so far after 3 months and 3K miles driven, Im happy with the purchase.

  Great SUV 2003 GMC Envoy - 2002 GMC Envoy
  By Dick - July 22 - 4:59 am

  Best vehicle Ive ever owned, it now has 135,000 miles on it. The brakes and tires have lasted more than 60,000 miles, Im on my second set of each now. The only thing Ive had to replace is the water pump at 120,000 miles, not bad at all. I get 16 to 18 mpg city and up to 24 mpg on the highway. Its a very comfortable ride and a very useful vehicle. I will buy another one when or if it finally gives up.

  Best Vehicle Investment Ive Made - 2002 GMC Envoy
  By dingo6120 - February 14 - 10:36 pm

  I purchased this vehicle when there were no others on the road. I was 1st impressed with its individual styling. Very soon after I was delighted with its interior appointments and comfort. I now have 125,000 miles and still no mechanical issues what-so-ever! This SUV (other than gas) has been the most inexpensive vehicle 2 own. I am not even close to looking 4 another SUV because most, even 5yrs later, are not as well appointed as mine. Neither do they have the comfort I am used to. The power I get from this inline V6 is remarkably strong. I can drive in any situation w/confidence enough to lead the pack if the law would let me. I hope to keep my great looking GMC 4 another few year
