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.

  • Envoy Rocks! - 2002 GMC Envoy
    By -

    This vehicle is wider and taller than the prior model year, and the interior is as comfortable as you could ever expect in an SUV. The performance is fantastic, given the inline 6s output above even the V8s offered in this class. Turning radius is astonishingly small. The inline six allows this as the engine takes less room than a "V" configuration. I recommend the Envoy. The SLT model has every luxury appointment you could ask for, shy of an LCD screen navigation system.

  • Excellent SUV - 2002 GMC Envoy

    Having owned several SUVs, I am glad to say this one is the best I have driven. The 6 cylinder engine has the power of a V8, yet much smoother. It handles well, but has some body roll when cornering. However this is to be expected of a large vehicle. I have to agree with many of the comments that the personalization buttons dont belong on the steering wheel, dedicate them for CD functions. I have had some problems with the memory features, and had to turn them off.

  • Edmonds Doesnt Get It - 2002 GMC Envoy
    By -

    It is strange that the review put forth by Edmonds for the 2002 Envoy was replete with accolades for design, performance, comfort, style, etc. Indeed, it was most deserving of the 2002 SUV of the year award. Their review for the same vehicle in 2003 seems to indicate that it is a much lesser product. Apparently the minor change to the taillight and a 5 HP increase destroyed their vision for 2003. Also contrary to Edmonds opinion, I have had a number of favorable comments on the leather interior. Guess I am just too easy to please.

  • 7 months later and still happy - 2002 GMC Envoy
    By -

    I purchased the SLT with all of the bells and whistles. 15,000 miles later, and I am still whistling! I have extremely satisfied with my Envoy. The only repairs (other than routine) were to replace the pump in the load leveling suspension. The bad pump was replaced in a day, and I was on my way. Smooth ride, expected fuel mileage, lots of extras....looks great!

  • No regrets - 2002 GMC Envoy
    By -

    I traded in a Ford Expedition for the Envoy - no regrets. The Envoy rides great, is the right size, and is much more comfortable on long trips. We haul lots of "stuff" and a big labrador in the back, and have plenty of room. Unlike some other reviews, I am getting 23 mpg on the highway at 75 mph, compared to 16 mpg for the Expedition. For a 4000 lb. plus car, thats not too bad. So far, no problems with the car. I do think GM builds a "looser" car than Ford or Chrysler, which I think are "tighter". But I had GM products before, so was aware of that up front. All in all, we really like our Envoy, and would recommend it to others.
