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.

  I love this car! - 2002 GMC Envoy
  By mcalister - January 17 - 10:19 am

  My 2002 4WD Envoy SLE has over 116,000 miles on it and has been a true champ. My family and I have given this car quite a workout...it never has time to rest! It plows through all weather, and is easy to handle. I feel very confident driving in severe rain with the AWD feature, and love the fact that I can switch between 2 and 4 wheel drive while in motion. I have had absolutely no mechanical problems with this car, but have been meticulous with regular maintenance such as oil changes, etc. I did not have any sign of brake wear until 114,000...the bulk of the miles on this car have been highway miles.The engine is responsive and gives me more than the power I need to merge, pass, & have fun!

  Ive truly enjoyed my Envoy. Its true as they say "Its not more than you need, just more than your used to". For the first few months I didnt even realize it had a built in air compressor with hose. The comfort factor is amazing, it rides just like a car thanks to the air ride suspension. The power is great! Ive had just 2 problems with the vehicle. The 4 wheel drive kept automatically shifting itself into geer. We went through 3 tries at the dealership until it was fixed. The 2nd problem was that the air compressor went out on my first use. Since its been replaced neither problems have reoccured.

  Envoy Nightmare - 2002 GMC Envoy
  By K Cooper - August 8 - 8:54 pm

  I have had my Envoy since Oct. of 2002 and now have just under 50,000 miles on it. I love the way it looks, rides and performs, however I have had way too many problems to list. Engine failure at 5,500 miles, transmission at 48K along with the rear differential. GM has covered most of the repair costs but the down time and reliability isnt good. Hopefully they have worked out the bugs for the 05s and 06s.

  Good SUV - 2002 GMC Envoy
  By bking - June 20 - 9:53 am

  I put 33k on this vehicle a year and have not had a problem. I have only had to put tires on it and a couple of smaller items. It rides as smooth as it did when it came off the showroom floor. It has been an excellent vehicle.

  Sharp looking SUV - 2002 GMC Envoy
  By Kevin R. - June 3 - 10:01 pm

  At first I thought the vehicle was a nightmare due to 3 problems in the first week, 4wd selector switch, squeaking sound from the front hood latch, and the brakes were after market at 30,000 miles- Do yourself a favor and demand factory brake pads or you will sound like a bus when you stop. Other than the first week I have enjoyed my Envoy SLT 4WD. It is by far the nicest looking SUV on the road, and has the power of an 8 cyl. Looks like an Escalade on a diet.

  Massive engine failure - 2002 GMC Envoy
  By rondagerk - May 21 - 3:11 am

  I love the way my Envoy handles, but I hate the 15 miles per gallon. I had a massive engine failure at 37,000 miles and had to have new engine put in. I would not buy another, and do not feel like I got my $38,000 worth.

  2002 GMC Envoy SLT - 2002 GMC Envoy
  By 2002slt - March 31 - 10:00 am

  The redesign has been long overdue. I think its 100% better than my old 98 Bravada. It handles much better in the Chicago snow, and has 80 more HP! The only gripe I have is with the rear plastic frame on the hatch\tailgate. It expands when the sun hits it and scrapes away some of the paint on the metal panel its connected to. Its only noticeable if youre looking for it. Also, it leaves the primer, so no worries about rust. This SHOULD be solved soon. The new models now have a gasket installed between the two. Its by far the best vehicle Ive owned.
