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.

  2002 GMC Envoy - 2002 GMC Envoy
  By cyberjax21 - August 20 - 11:59 am

  Ive truly enjoyed my Envoy. Its true as they say "Its not more than you need, just more than your used to". For the first few months I didnt even realize it had a built in air compressor with hose. The comfort factor is amazing, it rides just like a car thanks to the air ride suspension. The power is great! Ive had just 2 problems with the vehicle. The 4 wheel drive kept automatically shifting itself into geer. We went through 3 tries at the dealership until it was fixed. The 2nd problem was that the air compressor went out on my first use. Since its been replaced neither problems have reoccured.

  Envoy Nightmare - 2002 GMC Envoy
  By K Cooper - August 8 - 8:54 pm

  I have had my Envoy since Oct. of 2002 and now have just under 50,000 miles on it. I love the way it looks, rides and performs, however I have had way too many problems to list. Engine failure at 5,500 miles, transmission at 48K along with the rear differential. GM has covered most of the repair costs but the down time and reliability isnt good. Hopefully they have worked out the bugs for the 05s and 06s.

  Good SUV - 2002 GMC Envoy
  By bking - June 20 - 9:53 am

  I put 33k on this vehicle a year and have not had a problem. I have only had to put tires on it and a couple of smaller items. It rides as smooth as it did when it came off the showroom floor. It has been an excellent vehicle.

  Sharp looking SUV - 2002 GMC Envoy
  By Kevin R. - June 3 - 10:01 pm

  At first I thought the vehicle was a nightmare due to 3 problems in the first week, 4wd selector switch, squeaking sound from the front hood latch, and the brakes were after market at 30,000 miles- Do yourself a favor and demand factory brake pads or you will sound like a bus when you stop. Other than the first week I have enjoyed my Envoy SLT 4WD. It is by far the nicest looking SUV on the road, and has the power of an 8 cyl. Looks like an Escalade on a diet.

  Bring on the foreign cars! - 2002 GMC Envoy
  By japanese4me - February 20 - 5:33 pm

  Owned this vehicle since it was new and have had many little problems with it. The A/C went out for a week, the brake rotors were changed twice (covered by warranty), rubber casings around windows began to wilt, and there were countless factory recalls. I just traded the vehicle in with 7,500 miles (2/2005) and was only able to get $13,000 for a $39,000 vehicle! According to KBB, the most I could have got would be $16,000. Very dissapointed. Stay away from this SUV unless you get it for a really good price and own a gas station.

  Recommend the new GMC Envoy - 2002 GMC Envoy
  By TomRector - February 15 - 2:00 am

  I previously had a 1996 Chevrolet Blazer and moving up to the new Envoy was a great choice for me. I considered the Dodge Durango and Land Rover Discovery. I also, looked at the TrailBlazer, just to compare before I bought the Envoy and found that the Envoy came with more standard options, for your money. So far, after having the vehicle for 3 weeks, Ive only one problem, the OnStar had to be re-programmed since OnStar could not establish a connection with my vehicle. The Envoy rides smooth and has great accelleration and power.

  Very comfortable - 2002 GMC Envoy
  By Dancer1 - October 29 - 2:00 am

  Both my wife and I are senior citizens, have back problems, have long legs and require seats that fit our bodies. I also do a lot of highway driving and need comfortable seating. The Envoy has the longest seat of any midsize suv (21.5 inches) fits our bodies better than any other SUV and is very comfortable. I have logged over 80,000 miles in my Envoy and changed the tires at 63,000, still have the original brakes and have not had to have it tuned. I am now getting ready to trade it in for a new 2004 Envoy SLT.

  Road Tested - 2002 GMC Envoy
  By JR in PA - August 18 - 2:00 am

  I bought this vehicle when it first arrived to the showroom. The styling and extras were what caught my attention but now, 3 years later, I am pleasently surprised by the reliability I have had with the vehicle. Over 70,000 miles and no problems. Only routine maintanence and I just recently replaced the original tires. GMC made a truly nice midsize SUV that will last.
