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.

  reliability? - 2002 GMC Envoy
  By robdale/dlandry29 - July 21 - 2:00 am

  I have owned my Envoy since April 2002 and have loved the way it handled and its reliablity. My transmission began making noises a month ago and went totally out the other day leaving me stranded. It was towed to the dealership and they replaced the valve body. I have always felt safe and depended on my Envoy. Now I am considering trading it in on another type SUV all together. My dream SUV has become a potential nightmare!

  Nice Product! - 2002 GMC Envoy
  By Doug Adams - June 23 - 2:00 am

  After a year of owning this SUV, we are pleased overall. Very comfortable to drive, average mileage. I have owned Expedition, Explorers, etc. and am pleased to move back to GM. Im having a little difficulty adjusting to size after Expedition. Only one small problem in a year (leaking water). Good performance in the 6 cyl engine! Very quiet to drive. Would recommend this vehicle to anyone.

  I love my Envoy. It is very spacious, and I can manage the vehicle very well. The style of the vehicle is good. Not to big and not to little.

  Best Ride So Far - 2002 GMC Envoy
  By Hornedfrog - May 15 - 2:00 am

  I have owned many types of automobiles. 68 Corvette Convertible, 91 Lincoln Continental, 93 Toyota Camry V6, and I traded a 99 Jimmy SLT in for the Envoy. This is the best ride I have ever experienced. The Engine is strong across the band width and quite. The ride is as smooth if not smoother then the Continental and it has a turn radius so small (my wife’s Rav 4 does not turn as tight) it is scary. The only complaint I have is the fuel tank size and I wished I had waited for the XL for the extra people hauling. I have not had one problem and believe it or not, not a single GM rattle has popped up. So far this SUV has been flawless.

  Very Comfortable SUV, car like ride - 2002 GMC Envoy
  By Jenvoy03 - April 29 - 2:00 am

  Its a big vehicle but drives like a car. I have had Ford Explorers a 94. and 97 and they were very truck like. GM always have seats that I feel are very comfortable and this SUV is no exception. I have the SLT 2 wheel drive, with running boards, sun roof, side air bags, Bose system. Big roomy vehicle. I came out of a 2003 Acura TL type S, I figured out I wasnt the sports car type plus I found the TL lacking in quality contrary to their reputation. The GMC seems to have built very well. My only problems so far was chattering wiper blades, dealer replaced under warranty, and a defective switch in A/C that caused it to work intermittenly. Dealer fixed.

  Good Start - 2002 GMC Envoy
  By a name - January 17 - 2:00 am

  The Envoy was my choice because of comfort and ride. I owned a 1993 Ford Exporer but the 2002 Explorers had hard seats and a rough ride. Also I didnt like the 3 bucket rear seat the came out with. I was very happy with my 1993 Explorer but Ford needs to address comfort with the new Explores. My disapointments with the Envoy are, When you put the back seat down you cant but the front seat back the way I like to ride. Had rattles, and I dont like the rain sensitive windshild wipers. I also dont like the auto dimming rear view mirror. The cargo space is also smaller than the explorer was. Sound proofing is also disapointing

  I really thought Id miss my Saab.... - 2002 GMC Envoy
  By Patrick Smith - December 23 - 10:00 am

  Had 300 miles on it when I bought it (claimed a dealer trade, but more likely the sales manager using it. In one week Ive intentionally put another 650 miles on it in anticipation of a long highway trip (sideline: Ive always believed for the first 1K miles you shouldnt drive at sustained high speeds while the engine wears in - any mechs. or engs. out there who can verify or debunk?). Except for crummy gas mileage I love everything about this truck so far. I switched from a Saab, so I was accustomed to performance and have not been disappointed.

  Worth The Money - 2002 GMC Envoy
  By Barrraco - November 16 - 2:00 am

  Love this truck. It is roomy, comfortable and fun to drive. Doesnt drive like a truck, but more like a car. Had my Envoy for almost a year and no big problems. Had one recall, no big deal. The dealer fixed it and treated me very, very well. Expected problems with them , but had none. Gas milage sucks. I would buy it again and recommend it to everyone.
