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.

Very nice SUV - 2003 GMC Envoy
By gnlhall - April 25 - 2:00 amI love my Envoy. It drives great and is very functional. The styling is much improved (inside and out) from the old Jimmy. The ride and handling are superb.

Great suv , whats not to like about the GMC Envoy - 2003 GMC Envoy
By Michael Zappia - November 24 - 7:58 pmIts a 4.2 liter V6, has plenty of power the transmission works great , smooth shifts, very attractive , reliable, fun to drive , 4WD works great , The SLE trim model is cloth seats , FM/AM radio, power seats, OnStar, Alloy wheels, The SLt model is a step up with leather heated seats and Bose speakers, Envoy Denali has entertainment system with navigation and bose speakers and comes with a powerful 5.3L V8. I have a 2003 SLE model and it has 235,xxx miles on it and is the best car we have ever owned , its never had any issues and continues to be a great daily driver. The GMC Envoy is a great SUV to buy, you will get more for your money than any other vehicle.

GREAT SUV - BEST OF ITS COMPETITORS - 2003 GMC Envoy
By GM lifer - October 4 - 2:00 amNo complaints here. I bought the SLT because the difference in comfort and trim level/options was far superior to the SLE. The vehicle has many features and options but is very intuitive. Some of the questions asked on the survey ask questions only appropriate of a sports car and that is the only reason why it did not get a 10 from me. The Envoy is positively the first in class having it all comfort, style, and performance. The gas mileage isnt great, but is good for a truck-based SUV. I would recommend this vehicle to friends/family.

Too many problems - 2003 GMC Envoy
By Loyal GM Owner? - August 27 - 2:00 amI was a loyal GM owner, but not sure any more. The truck has been into the dealer 8 times in 2 months for a mysterious electrical problem effecting lights and gauges. Ive had 3 computers and 4 electrical switches placed into the truck. Also, the entire truck has been re-ground 3 times and the rear window leak has been fixed twice. Problems still persist. Goods news is GM is buying the car back. I really like the style of the truck so Im thinking about giving GM another shot, but Im not sure.

Love It - 2003 GMC Envoy
By Armaheadon - June 21 - 2:00 amI bought a used Envoy. After reading reviews, I opted for the 2003 over the 2002. I really love the truck and dont have any complaints. I did get the SLT with all of the extra options. The difference between the SLE and SLT are night and day if you like comfort. I wouldnt have bought the SLE version. Its a truck..not a car-based SUV. With that in mind.. there are only positive things to say about this vehicle. Comfortable, stylish, and very roomy for its class. I average about 20mpg..which isnt great.. but I wouldnt be driving a powerful SUV if that concerned me. Over all I would reccomend the Envoy SLT.

SERVICE 4WD LIGHT ON FOR FOURTH TIME! - 2003 GMC Envoy
By clovermg - March 27 - 2:00 amMy 03 Envoys SERVICE 4WD light came on the 1st time at 574 MILES, 2nd time at 4242 MILES, 3rd time at 6490 MILES & 4th time at 9387 MILES. Its had 3 IGNITION SWITCHES in 1 WEEK & Ive only had it 9 mos. I contacted GM about this & was told about a repurchase then told no but never told why. The area rep doesnt have to give a reason why, he doesnt have to call me when Ive asked for him to & they wont give me his info. I told GM this was "UNEXCEPTABLE" and asked to speak with a supervisor & the supervisor HUNG UP ON ME! GM NEEDS TO GET THE ENVOYS ACT TOGETHER! I will NEVER buy GM again! Im on to NY state lemon law now. WISH ME LUCK!

Shirleys Envoy - 2003 GMC Envoy
By dacotahkid - March 16 - 2:00 amBeautiful vehicle with one major flaw. When you get in a strong cross wind your wind noise can drown out a cell phone and render your onstar phone useless while traveling. Also at very cold temperatures the footfeet freezes. That is a simple fix if you warm up the vehicle and restart the engine.

Happy with suv angry with dealer - 2003 GMC Envoy
By AECHEZ - February 29 - 2:00 amThis is the best suv I have ever had I have had it for a year and my first problem occured this month with a thumping in the front end when I hit minor road bumps.Unfortunetly I am not happy with CERAMI PONTIAC in New Jersey with their service dept.I buy a $34,000 suv and I couldnt even get a loaner from the dealership for the day go figure they rather lose someones business than give them a $30,00 dollar loaner.Anyway I reccomend the suv but I dont reccomend Cerami Pontiac in NEW JERSEY.

Great vehicle - 2003 GMC Envoy
By Lschill - February 13 - 2:00 amThis is my first SUV & I love it! Great storage room-we moved our son to college & loaded ALL of his belongings in it & still had room for the 3 of us. My husband works at the facility that makes the engine so we knew that it was well made. Was disappointed with the gas mileage for such an efficient engine. But it has a 16-17 gal. tank so I guess it performs about average. Would recommend it to others. The 04s have some really nice features.
