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.

  • So Far So Good - 2002 GMC Envoy
    By -

    I am very pleased with the performance of this SUV. It is very powerful and has excellent handling characteristics. The ride with the air suspension is superb. It turns on a dime and is easy to park. The bose stereo is the best I have heard in a car. I have not experienced any of the problems that I have read posted here as of yet. My Envoy was delivered with no defects. I am averaging 17.5 miles per gallon in mostly city/sometimes highway driving.

  • Terrific Vehicle- I recommend - 2002 GMC Envoy
    By -

    I bought the GMC Envoy SLE several weeks ago and love driving it more each day. Its very comfortable and has plenty of power...gas mileage around town seems to suffer...definitely better on the highway.

  • ENVOY GMC - 2002 GMC Envoy

    THE STYLING IS GREAT INSIDE AND OUT. I HAD A 99 JIMMY BEFORE AND IT IS A DEFINETE IMPROVEMENT. I DO WISH THERE WERE SIDE POCKETS ON THE REAR DOORS AND THAT THE OUTSIDE TEMP WAS ON THE REAR VIEW MIRROR. ANOTHER SUGGESTION WOULD BE THE HEADS UP DISPLAY LIKE SOME OTHER GM VEHICLES. THE POWER IS IMPORVED AND WITH THE ALLWHEEL OPTION, THE HANDLING IS VERY GOOD.

  • Im buying another one - 2002 GMC Envoy
    By -

    My wife rarely let me drive it! We sold it due to an overseas job transfer but were returning in July 06 and have already contacted the dealer to get another one. We had some trouble with the A/C however, the dealer fixed it pretty quickly. With the current high fuel costs, Ill get a REAL good deal this year. The 02 SLT was nimble and quick. We averaged 18mpg over 2 years. Not too terrible for a 275hp truck but always room to improve.

  • Great Car! - 2002 GMC Envoy

    We just purchased the vehicle and love it. The on star system is wonderful.

  • What a fun machine!!! - 2002 GMC Envoy
    By -

    My wife and I bought this for traveling and we are very happy with it. It is so easy to drive and so comfortable. If you need to pass there is plenty of power to do so. Gas milage is good to. Traveled to Canada going 75 and 80 miles per hour and got 22 miles per gallon.

  • Update - 2002 GMC Envoy
    By -

    I gave a review earlier loving my GMC Envoy SLE 4WD, I do still love it but after driving it for about 1,200 miles my gas line disconnected while driving on a busy highway. Luckily I pulled over in the breakdown lane. The problem was easily fixed but should never have happened. I consider this pretty serious and hope it is not an indication of other problems. Will keep you updated. Also, rear passenger does not shut as easily as others.

  • Inside road noise annoying - 2002 GMC Envoy
    By -

    My only complaint with my Envoy is that you can hear the road noise penatrate through the vehicle. It sounds like the tires or wind blowing though the rear windows. We also have an air leak on the drivers window. You have to crank up the radio to tune out the noise.

  • Past Grand Cherokee and Explorer Owner - 2002 GMC Envoy
    By -

    We just bought our truck a week or so ago and really like it a lot. After having a Jeep for 3 years and an Explorer prior to that, this is definetly the nicest of the 3...We also looked closely at the TrailBlazer but this one just seemed a little bit nicer and road a little smoother.

  • Excellent Balance - 2002 GMC Envoy
    By -

    Not perfect but it dusts the competition. Especially quiet at cruise and a ride that equals/exceeds all competition. Inline six has a nice sound but not as wonderful as all the magazines portend...again, though, better than the competition (though not up to BMW standards).
