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.

  Envoy: A Well-Built Performer - 2003 GMC Envoy
  By USCTrojan - April 20 - 2:00 am

  I seriously checked out the Honda, Toyota, and other offerings in the mid-size SUV category. The Honda Pilot and Toyota Highlander are like driving heavy, underpowered minivans. I was shocked by their lack of style and quality. They felt like and looked like Fisher- Price. The GMC Envoy is truly a half luxury, half workhorse SUV built by a truck division. My fuel economy is as promised between 15 and 22. Passengers most often compliment the smooth drive. As someone who really studied the mid-size SUV category, the GMC Envoy stands out from the crowd because of its solid performance, stable suspension, upscale styling, and quality build.

  NEW SLT - 2003 GMC Envoy
  By EDLee - April 20 - 2:00 am

  We have owned SUVs for many years. So far this is one of the best. Lots of power and looks classy. Pewter Metallic with pewter leather interior. Plenty of goodies to play with and Bose system is great. Just got it so time will tell with the reliability issue. Have a 96 Blazer that has been a great vehicle. Traded in a 2000 Tundra, not sorry to see it go. Test drove a Volvo XC70, was not impressed. Volvo dealer was the worst I have experienced to date. GMC dealer outstanding.

  My first SUV! - 2003 GMC Envoy
  By ranchan80 - April 10 - 2:00 am

  After looking at other SUVs, including the QX4, the highlander, and the RX- 300, I found that the Envoy fit my needs the best! The looks, the performance, and the price won me over. I have had it for about 6000 miles right now, and not a thing wrong with it! Just experienced a horrible Nebraska winter, and the Envoy handled it with ease! Glad i bought it!

  By MIkeOrangeman - April 3 - 2:00 am

  Unquestionably the best new vehicle Ive owned. The Envoy has ample power and great maneuverability. Id put this vehicle up against anything a competitor has to offer. Its very solidly built and Im very pleased with it. Bravo GMC!

  By GAD - April 3 - 2:00 am

  This SUV is Comfortable with the leather option. Ride is good and interior quiet for an SUV on a truck frame. The Handling is good and doesnt feel like it will roolover in turns like its sister the Trailerbazer.

  Great SUV - 2003 GMC Envoy
  By Stanman626 - March 12 - 2:00 am

  Outstanding engine performance especially in the mid range. Interior and seating are comfortable for someone my size (6’2” – 220). It made its way through our last 8” snow storm with no problems and has handled some light off road snow covered trails with ease. The only improvements would be to have Heads Up Display (HID), which should be on every GM product with a base price over 28,000 and have the CD options on the steering wheel instead of the HVAC controls. Most drivers change their radio stations and flip through the CD tracks far more often than changing the HVAC settings. GMC Professional Grade?, close but not there yet.

  Total Comfort - 2003 GMC Envoy
  By wxb - March 7 - 2:00 am

  We have driven a Ford Explorer for the last 8 years. We recently purchased the GMC Envoy after test driving 10 other models and we have found a winner. The ride is smooth, interior is quite, acceleration is excellent.

  Love It! - 2003 GMC Envoy
  By Envoy Mama - March 2 - 2:00 am

  I searched for a long time to find the perfect replacement for my minivan and I found it! I needed the convienence of the third row seat for carpool,etc but I also wanted to find something that wasnt quite as "mom-mobile" as my van. Needless to say, the sleek looking XL grabbed my attention and won me over when I drove it. There isnt really anything I can complain about. I feel secure, my kids have ample room and the cargo space is generous when all 3 rows are in use. I would have liked arm rests and a larger storage compartment between the seats (which my husband has in his Sierra) but as far as all around looks and function..I am one happy Mama.

  03 Envoy - 2003 GMC Envoy
  By skydo - February 26 - 2:00 am

  I really enjoy driving this Envoy. It looks great and has a Cady ride. I do agree the it is a bit "tippy" feeling when cornering hard but it is a SUV after all. The I-6 power is great and doesnt have a soft spot. The 4WD system is easy to get to when needed.

  Best vehicle Ive ever owned - 2003 GMC Envoy
  By jlem - February 13 - 2:00 am

  Bought my first SUV six weeks ago and opted for the Envoy SLT, fully loaded, mostly because I liked its lines, but also because of what Id read about it. Test-drove it and found it comparable or superior to other SUVs I tested, including Land Cruiser. Its solid on the road and quiet, even at 80 mph, a very comfortable. The only negative, a small complaint, is the poor city gas mileage - about 14 mpg, sometimes less. But on the highway, I get better than 20 mpg, even at sustained high speed.
