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 love this car! - 2002 GMC Envoy
  By mcalister - January 17 - 10:19 am

  My 2002 4WD Envoy SLE has over 116,000 miles on it and has been a true champ. My family and I have given this car quite a workout...it never has time to rest! It plows through all weather, and is easy to handle. I feel very confident driving in severe rain with the AWD feature, and love the fact that I can switch between 2 and 4 wheel drive while in motion. I have had absolutely no mechanical problems with this car, but have been meticulous with regular maintenance such as oil changes, etc. I did not have any sign of brake wear until 114,000...the bulk of the miles on this car have been highway miles.The engine is responsive and gives me more than the power I need to merge, pass, & have fun!

  The redesign has been long overdue. I think its 100% better than my old 98 Bravada. It handles much better in the Chicago snow, and has 80 more HP! The only gripe I have is with the rear plastic frame on the hatch\tailgate. It expands when the sun hits it and scrapes away some of the paint on the metal panel its connected to. Its only noticeable if youre looking for it. Also, it leaves the primer, so no worries about rust. This SHOULD be solved soon. The new models now have a gasket installed between the two. Its by far the best vehicle Ive owned.

  Happy I Changed - 2002 GMC Envoy
  By GAYLE - March 31 - 2:00 am

  Glad I made the move from Jeep Grd Cher to GMC. Almost didnt get another SUV. Hope quality continues - no problems in 2300 miles.

  Ill take it - 2002 GMC Envoy
  By Scubadog - March 31 - 2:00 am

  Have had mine for 11 months now, and the only two problems were the suspension recall (in effect before I took delivery, so mine was fixed before I got it), and a recall to reprogram the transfer case that took less than 20 minutes. Excellent to drive, all features (mines a loaded SLT) work as designed, plenty of power, and no problem with Chicago winters. One annoyance, the side-view mirrors reset themselves to a different location each day, despite the fact that Im Driver #1 in the program / key fob and the only one driving it.

  Great Vehicle So Far - 2002 GMC Envoy
  By le - March 31 - 2:00 am

  Just took delivery of a new Envoy. Last vehicle was a GMC Denali which traveled 35000 miles in 14 mo. Its a tough act to follow, but I must say in a lot of ways its a better vehicle. Ive put 1000 miles on it so far with no problems. Much better gas milage,almost as much pick-up and very comfortable. Actually the Envoy has more leg room in it than the Denali. Im very impressed so far!!!

  Early on there were some minor issues with the vehicle. Since then this is the best vehicle I have ever owned.

  Encvoy -- a delight to own and drive - 2002 GMC Envoy
  By JP Hoover - August 1 - 2:00 am

  I have owned an Envoy for nearly three years and as a former Bronco and Toyota owner I remain as pleased with it as when we bought it. I has plenty of power, rides like my brothers 03 Cadillac, and handles better than most other 4x4s. Except an inconvienent front cup holder (in front of the shift) and a gas tank that is too small (18 gal), it a treat to drive or ride in on long trips whether on long straight-aways in Arizona and Texas, the rolling hills and curves of Oklahoma and Arkansas, or the twisting mountain roads of Colorado. The GMC Envoy is a definite "two thumbs up" vehicle!!
