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.

  • Better than Jeep - 2002 GMC Envoy
    By -

    Its a great truck overall. Fun to drive, love the horse power and handle of this truck. Specially the look, make everyone take a second look when drove by them. The 6 disc BOSE system is awsome, plennty of power.

  • Good, but could be better. - 2002 GMC Envoy
    By -

    I am a commuter who drives 35 miles each way for work. I like the size of the car and that it has room to carry most items but is small enough to look sporty and it gets acceptable gas mileage. The interior is fine except for one area, its arm rests are hard plastic and are very uncomfortable during long drives. The model has had several recalls, none of which were serious for me. I am able to use regular gas without problem. I am concerned about the long term expectency of the aluminum alloy engine. GMC did OK but the hard plastic arm rests and the recalls make me think they were not as professional as they claimed and could be better.

    Gas tank to small therefore need extra stops at gas stations to refill. Have I known about the gas tank size and miles/gal I probably would have gone to another SUV. I am geting around 18 miles/gal when new I was geting 20 to 21 miles/gal. Have taken it to dealer and he cant solve the problem. Front trim does not have enough fasteners so it makes noise on rough roads.

  • Still Loving It! - 2002 GMC Envoy
    By -

    So far, I have been very happy with my Envoy. It handles exceptionally well in all weather and especially in high wind compared with other SUVs and cars I have owned. The gas mileage leaves much to be desired, but that is expected with an SUV of this size. I love its looks, it is exceptionally comfortable and offers more options than other SUVs previously looked at.

    Wish for 20 less horsepower in exchange for better gas mileage.

    This truck is comfortable, dependable and attractive. The engine is powerful and runs cool all day at freeway speeds, even in the southwest desert region.

  • 02 Envoy a nice surprise - 2002 GMC Envoy

    Overall a very nice vehicle. 02 Engine warranty extended to 7yr 100,000 for specific problems.

  • Overall, a good thing - 2002 GMC Envoy
    By -

    I love the look (inside & out) of my 2003 Envoy. The gas mileage is alright. However, coming from a 2000 Expedition, I miss the room. We only have two kids so the room is adequate, but I miss the width of the Expedition. But I do have a lot of trunk space now. I get a lot of compliments on the look of my Envoy. I also love driving with the sunroof open, the Bose stereo on and the woodgrain look accents and the leather interior. It is indeed a fine looking vehicle. I have read reviews about the ride being like that of a truck, but I think the ride is pretty smooth. Overall, I think the Envoy is a good thing!

  • Not happy - 2002 GMC Envoy
    By -

    Weve had nothing but problems with the driver 1 and 2 mirror settings working correctly. It has been in at least 6 times for this and has never been fixed. We also get a clunking noise from the rear differential that they can not diagnose. This vehicle is about 20 months old and has been into the shop at least 10 times.

  • Fun Car - 2002 GMC Envoy
    By -

    Purchased in October 2001. Have decent fuel mileage of 19mpg. Mirrors never return to the preset position and seats frequently do not. Cup holders are poorly placed and there is just not enough front seat storage. Compressor failed with 10000 miles on car. Having said all this negative stuff, the car has outstanding styling and is fun to drive. The extras (Note taking, homelink, bose stereo, etc) make it a lot of fun. All in all a good car.
