Overview & Reviews
For 2003, Envoy buyers are able to order certain options individually, rather than as part of an equipment package, adding potential savings and increased flexibility. The sport-ute's already powerful Vortec 4.2-liter inline six also gets a slight bump in horsepower, up from 270 to 275, and Envoys now boast a new four-position headlamp switch that permits drivers to turn off the vehicle's daytime running lamps and automatic headlamps when necessary. Additionally, the Envoy gets a larger fuel tank that holds 22 gallons. Previously standard side airbags are now optional, while autodimming side mirrors and the rear seat overhead compartment have been deleted.
- Plenty of cool options, strong six-cylinder power, attractive interior design.
- Numb steering, plasticky interior pieces, feels tippy in the twisties.

First SUV - 2003 GMC Envoy
By USAFmilitary - March 2 - 2:00 amMy first SUV, took me over 6 months to decide. Test drove:Toyota 4-Runner (2003),Honda Pilot(2003), Infinity (QX4),Nissan Pathfinder, Jeep and Ford Explorer. Envoy.. best buy. Get the SLT (leather,woodgrain,major controls on sterring wheel,driver/passenger temp control etc). Love the way the SUV handles. Family more protected..side airbags and turn signals on the mirrors. DVD entertainment..overpriced. ONSTAR system.. overpriced. Free(yeah) for the first year. I choose to take the phone service in case of emergencies and no towers (reception for celluar phone was poor). Dont really know if I will use the Onstar system after the first free year.

Great SUV!! - 2003 GMC Envoy
By Happy Driver 4U2C - March 2 - 2:00 amI just bought this 2003 SLT to replace my 2000 "Exploder" and what a difference between SUVs! The Envoy drives so much smoother with none of the wind or engine noise like the "Exploder". We bought it in Atlanta and drove to Michigan and back, through the snow, and the Traction Control made it handled like a dream, even without 4-wheel-drive. Average gas mileage was over 20 mpg! The heated seats also made it more comfortable!

A very well built ride - 2003 GMC Envoy
By ultrakim - February 6 - 8:24 pmWe have put 40000 miles on our 2003 SLT 4wd since buying it used.The only problems we have had are a tailight bulb and one service engine soon light. the light turned out to be letting us know it was time to do a transfer case lube change. We love this truck and it looks fly with 20 s on it. Bose system stock is better than most aftermarket systems with subs and amps etc that I have put in. The in town mileage is about 15 but it is a very solid and heavy, safe vehicle. I feel like we have thousands of more miles to put on it yet.

Awesome! - 2003 GMC Envoy
By en4rcer - December 8 - 2:00 amThis was my first SUV purchase and I am in love (or lust). I had test driven several other SUVs in its class including the Jeep Grand Cherokee. I have had no problems with the Envoy and it is a fun vehicle to drive. I am about 15 years younger than the "average" Envoy driver - and it shows when people considerably older than me compliment me on the Envoy. Great ride, loaded with features, and has what seems to be a reliable and powerful engine.

One of the best, the Envoy. - 2003 GMC Envoy
By BMK - September 16 - 3:06 pmThe GMC Envoy is, in my opinion, one of the best SUVs on the market today. It has great interior and exterior styling all around. It has a very powerful, yet fuel efficent, Inline 6cyl. Engine. It has plenty of cargo room for all your needs, and the four wheel drive works excelent for where ever, or whatever the conditions maybe. The Envoy is also an excelent SUV to drive in the city, where you can just buzz right around with-out feeling like your driving a bus! The only downfall of the SUV is where the seat belts are located in the front two seats. They are hard to reach.

I absolutely Recommend the Envoy - 2003 GMC Envoy
By Colombiano - August 8 - 10:00 amRides great. Looks great. Fun to drive. Had two problems and dealer fixed both repairs with no problems to me. Feels and looks like it is built tough and sturdy. The gas mileage is bad. GMC states it gets 15/20, but I get only 12- 13 driving around my town and 15-16 on the expressway to work. Insurance is cheap. I feel that Onstar is too expensive. Would like to use it and the telephone , but it is cheaper to just have a cedular phone instead. GM should lower the prices for everthing related with Onstar and I am sure they would get more customers. Wind noise not that noticable.

I love my Envoy! - 2003 GMC Envoy
By E Norwood - April 18 - 12:57 pmI am not the best at maintenance of my vehicle. I first changed my oil around 25,000 miles. I currently have 72,000 miles on my truck and just replaced the factory tires! My Envoy is very low maintenance and the factory paint job looks beautiful after just a regular, no-frills car wash. I really enjoy driving it and have taken several cross-country trips. People that ride with me are surprised at how smoothly I am able to wheel into tight parking spaces without having to go through the pull in, back up, pull back in, etc. I highly recommend the Envoy as a fun, practical vehicle that lets you sit up higher like a truck but still drives like a car!

Great Envoy - 2003 GMC Envoy
By Rick - January 1 - 4:00 pmWe were considering a BMW or Lexus until we drove the Envoy. It is the most soundproof vehicle Ive ever been in. The power train is great, the ride is great, the fuel econcony is great and it just looks good. I would most certainly buy another one.

Florida Envoy SLT - 2003 GMC Envoy
By Bill C - November 28 - 8:31 pmSLT/2WD has been a great option for 4 years now. Oil and tires changed/rotated every 3000 miles. 48000 now on original tires! Battery went Dixie after 38 months. Trip gas mileage has been respectable with the vehicle loaded at 22-26 MPG. All in all have been very happy with our Envoy!
