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.

  • Needs alot of work - 2002 GMC Envoy
    By -

    If i had read the reviews before hand I would never got one. The engine blew at 7000 miles and continued to give me problems after being replaced. The ses light is always on with the reduced power light on also. The transmission blew at 18000 miles and was replaced.The car has been in the shop over 50 days.I am in the process of trying to get GM to buy back the car. Never another ENVOY.Its just one thing after another the rear window has leaked since my purchase and has been replaced.Many other problems also but I dont have enough space. GM should fix problems not run from them as they have.

    This SUV has good features for the price. It is comfortable to drive and all the switches and controls are within easy reach. Does not corner well. There has been numerous rattles and noises. The fit is poor. I would not buy this if I had to do it over again. Plastic trim is hard to keep clean. Too bad, could have been a nice truck.

  • For fun buy the Envoy! - 2002 GMC Envoy

    I think this is a good bang for the buck. The outside appearance is classy. Body and frame are well built for a smoothe quiet ride. The interior is the most comfortable of all we test drove (Lexus RX300, Mercedes ML320, BMW X5). The only thing lacking in this vehicle is front seat cup holders (2) and easy to reach storage. Dont let that keep you from owning this magnificent SUV!

    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.

  • Great Vehicle - 2002 GMC Envoy

    My family loves this vehicle. The teenagers are always asking to take it instead of their own cars because its "cool" to their friends. The styling--both interior and exterior-- wear very well. I still look at other Envoys driving by and think how nice they look. The vehicle is very comfortable. The driving position is excellent. Long trips go by effortlessly. MPG is a little weak at about 17.5 MPG average for highway and city driving. This is a definite recommend to buy.

  • 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.

  • Not so good - 2002 GMC Envoy
    By -

    In to the dealer for sensors in AC, Emissions system, and a couple other minor problems. Performance reminds me of driving a Japanese SUV instead of American Iron. Should have got a 5.3 V8 as is in my Sierra or better yet, a Yukon. I call this my "Graco" (baby carriage).

  • the power of the envoy - 2002 GMC Envoy
    By -

    after 3 years of the Jimmy this was a definate improvement. Drives like a car and has the same power.More room especially for tall drivers and passengers. If you are short get the optional power drivers seat.
