2003 GMC Envoy XL SLT 4WD 4dr SUV (4.2L 6cyl 4A)
13 of 14 people found this review helpful
I love this truck. I purchased it in 2008 with 58k. The truck now has just about 169k. In town ave. 15 as estimated, freeway (70mph) with my family & luggage it pulls 21-22mpg average. Runs and rides great! I stay up on all maintenance: fluids, S-belt, brakes pads & rotors, coil overs, shocks, fuel filter, ball joints& driver front wheel bearing (I consider maintenance). The only non-maintenance repairs have been replacing plastic upper molding on rear door the power steering pump (reservoir leaking, did not fail), tensioner pulley & water pump, all just this year 2014. I really cant say enough good about her. One of the best SUVs ever built!

I've only had my Envoy for a couple of months & did not buy from a very reputable used car dealer, but I love this vehicle. It's got enough get up & go off a stop to keep me from laying my foot into the gas too heavy. The previous owner seemed to not care much about the mechanical integrity of this vehicle since I had to make the dealer replace the wiring harness, then I ended up having to have the transmission completely rebuilt a couple months later. Despite that, this engine is as solid as a tank. There is nothing like an inline 6 motor! I fancy myself a shade tree mechanic and this is by far one of the easiest engines to work on. With 162k miles on it, & counting, I plan to keep her around for another 162k now that she's got a new transmission & a solid engine. As a short-waisted woman, I LOVE the adjustable driver seat. I can see all around me, I get proper lumbar support, I don't have to be on top of the steering wheel to reach the pedals, & don't need an extra pad to raise my short self up to see past the end of the hood. As a Lyft driver, I get a lot of compliments on how comfortable my vehicle is & how easy it is to get in & out of, even from the rear set of seats. I plan to use this beast to do some beach camping this year. Update: she's still going strong with 190k miles on her now. The cables for the odometer, speedometer, & gas gauge need to be replaced. Her age is starting to manifest in the little things, but still a very solid ride. 2and update: still love my girl, but damn these emissions sensors! Haven't been able to get the damn check engine light to shut off in 3 years. Replaced every single sensor in her. Most likely due to the two broken bolts in the exhaust manifold which you can't get to without special tools or pulling the engine. Neither of which is an option for me. Even tried using right angle drill. Broke a bit & stripped two extractors to no avail. Thank god for high temperature gasket seal, but my stupid self only sealed around those two bolts thinking the normal gasket would be fine around the rest. Soooooo, I have to pull the whole thing a third time & seal the whole mess this time. Hopefully that will buy me time to save to fix her up since I'm in the process a conversion for camping. Ripped out the two rear seats & built a small bed frame, cut down my old tempurpedic mattress & now have a very comfortable but tiny RV for my trips. Solar on the roof with battery & converter for powering my laptop for business on the go from wherever I want to be.

Love the Envoy, have had it for about 6 years and at 79000 miles no major problems. I have 5 kids and it is a great fit for us. I have thought about getting an Enclave but love the Envoy too much. It could do a little better on gas but its still not bad, we take a long trip every year and the is lots of room for us and our stuff. Buy one!

I'm the second owner but I've had for the last 4 years and I LOVE my Envoy. I've never loved a car before but this rides smooth, is so quiet, shifts like a dream, makes tight car-like Uturns, plenty of interior room, nice leg room, has 86,000 miles. I've had to replace the fan clutch ($600), the arm rest (my fault - $70) and something else that I can't remember the name of but it may be called the driveline (?). Anyway, it's the part that causes your vehicle to shift into gear ($200). It's just been a dream to ride and drive. This is a vehicle that you want to take care of because you want it to last forever.

Vehicle runs smooth and quiet. Railroad tracks and speed bumps don't bother this GM SUV. Just under 100k miles at this time and no major repairs needed. A couple batteries, sets of tires, windshield wipers, oil changes and air filters and that is all. Fuel mileage is not great, especially at this time when we pay $3.00 a gallon. I rate this vehicle a 10 because it is the most reliable and comfortable vehicle I have ever owned.

As a Field Service Engr for a competitive car company, the overall style sold me, but the comfort and fuel economy has made me a believer! With a tow capacity of 6800# fuel economy after break-in now delivers 16.8 cty/21.5 hwy and 11.0 when towing 54000#. With 62,000 miles the vehicle this vehicle is still solid and drives like new with a ride that is very hard to beat unless you drive a large Yukon. Having serviced the Detroit Metro circuit and performed competive bench mark drive studies, it was always a joy driving home as the comfort of this vehicle, and passenger capacity exceeds most dometic cars. Even with the intro of the new hybrids, it's hard to beat the overall investment.

I bought my 2003 Envoy XL brand new and always did synthetic oil changes. I flushed the transmission once. The things that went bad were (fan clutch) and (battery). Other then those two things, it performed flawlessly. Never had a problem with the engine or transmission. The interior door panels are comming un-glued, but over all it was a great purchase for my family. I just bought a 2011 Honda Pilot EX and I can already tell that I miss the power that the envoy has. But the pilot seats 8 versus the 7 in the Envoy

I bought my 2003 Envoy XL brand new and at the beginning had several issues but I now have 152,000 miles on it and have literally put only $3000 of repairs due to my excessive driving from vacation to seeing my kids away at college. It gets impressive gas mileage STILL! I will never trade or sell this vehicle, one of my son's will inherit it since I have takin care of it like my baby!

This vehicle fits my family like GM was thinking of us when they designed it. My 6'4" son can comfortably ride on long trips all the way in the back row. Now with the extended family and the requisite car seats, booster seat, and adults, we are still comfortable. The A/C works well even in the heat of the southwest during the summer. Good visibility, good braking, great manuveurability, a very powerful I6 engine with amazzing pep and good mileage. I added a cold air intake system and now get 14 in town and 22 on the highway with 4 adults and 3 children onboard. No major problems after 3+ years of heavy daily usage in town.

I am very pleased with my Envoy XL. I've driven Suburbans for years and had some reservations about purchasing a smaller SUV. I was immediately impressed with the way the Envoy handled and the solid feel of the vehicle. It's safety features and styling were very appealing to me when I began considering this vehicle. The Envoy SLT has numerous amenities that make it a luxurious ride and the practicality that I need in an SUV. Although the fold down third seat creates a minor obstacle in loading, the rear cargo area is spacious. The Envoy XL is a superb vehicle.

Test drove it and fell in love! Drives like a breeze...NOT a truck. Trading up from my 98 Transsport wasn't a tough decision after looking at and test driving the Envoy XL. Not too much car for my wife to drive. Even the kids are happy..who wouldn't be with a built in theater with Bose sound system. Can't wait for the first big trip!!

This vehicle is the best. GM did there home work on this one. Drives smooth, rides like a Cadillac and 270 hp engine gives you the performance of a sedan. All still with powerful towing capabilities and seven passenger seating.

Best option for being able to tow but being smaller and more nimble. So far very impressed with the 6 cylinder engine, both from a power standpoint and gas mileage. Concerns about mushy handling have not been realized. Wife likes it better than Suburban because it is easier to handle around town. Try it, you'll like it!

Outstanding SUV. Suffered items that should not go past final assembly inspection/delivery. Cmn A/C issue resolved after taking back, but well known about (fix it before it leaves !). A couple minor build issues (Folks in OKC -- Wake UP !!!). After resolving minor issues it's been great. Amazing the only car I never had any problem with was metric. Americans are doing great eng and design. It's the execution that's the problem. Assemble to 100 % - dealer run interference on minor issues before delivery. Learn something in 100 years !

My wife and I really like this vehicle. Plenty of room, very comformable, drives great. Pulls my 19' boat very well. Really impressed with the power of the motor. Fuel mileage also has been very good. In the city mileage has run around 16.5 to 17.5..Highway mileage has been from a low of 20.2 to a best of 22.1. This Envoy has less than 10,000 miles so far. Looking forward to driving it to florida in early march with boat in tow.

Purchased the Envoy after four bad years with 2 different Expl. XLTs. Interior is excellent especially the room for the third row. No major problems, 1 recall. Ride is very smooth and the feature for alternate listening in the back for the kids is great.

We purchased a new Envoy XL 11 months ago and have had it in the shop for repairs 8 times. Although we love the comfortable ride and attractiveness of the vehicle, we have been sorely disappointed by its reliability. The problems we have experienced include a cracked gas tank, failed 4WD, failed windshield wiper mechanism, failed seat controls, quirky mirrors, several computer system glitches, as well as a couple of recall repairs.

Overall strong vehicle but has cost us a bit. After just over one year of ownership, the 4x4 feature started to fail. This lead to a complete transmission overhaul. $2400 there. Then within months, the fan clutch went for another $850. Less than one year now, the light is on again, what now? We already have the electronic circuit needing replacement. Apparently, that's to blame in the repeated blow out of the rear break lights. Great for camping or driving in snow/rain but you need to have some repair cash saved aside.

I just purchased a new Envoy XL. What a joy to drive. GM has finally awoken to design and build a product that can compete with the imports. I looked at the Honda Pilot, Toyota's and Dodge. In my opinion, the Envoy is not only the best value, but puts GM back on the map with innovative design and what appears to be much, much improved quality. This vehicle drives so smooth. The Envoy proves that if GM listens to thier customers they can design and build quality automobiles and start attracting those buyers that would look to imports. Way to go GM.

After test driving several "7 seater suvs" I was sold on the Envoy. The Acura MDX and Volvo were not true 7 seaters. I was impressed with the ride and features available in the Envoy. I receive many compliments. I think the interior, as well as, the exterior is very attractive. The ride is quiet and smooth, and there is power when you want it. I am very satisfied with my decision.

The ride is excellent you can't feel a thing as if your inside a vacuum space.INLINE 6 a different push from a regular V6, like a v8.Large cargo space-bought a full size bed for my son. SNOW-great handling during winter storm of Feb '03 in the NorthEast region. LONG DRIVE -did a 36hrs drive excellent handling. Braking on highway and city driving -excellent.

Have put 5,000 of vacation miles in 3 mos. Ride,acceleration, and gas mileage (19-21 with V8) much better than expected. With cartop carrier and 4 adults, had plenty of room and power. Did not notice numb steering or drifting that reviews mentioned, was terrific on open road and freeway at 65- 75mph. Wife is former mini-vanner and loves it. Came with all options.

Compared all of the six to seven passenger vehicles including Ford, Chrysler, Honda, Toyota and the features of the Envoy, looks, comfort and towing capacity was superior to others. Dealer discounted substantially with approx. 8k off of MSRP. Much better value than overpriced alternatives with less options. Good ride, lots of power, all amenities and options for same price as an LX Honda Pilot. GM's low financing rate is less too.

I like my first GM purchase. The V-8 has a lot of power. In comparison to all the SUVs out there within the price range, the Envoy beats them all in terms of price, features, power, and comfort. The Envoy rides much smoother than the Expedition, Tahoe, or Sequoia.

I've had this SUV for over 6.5 years, have 95,000 miles and never had any major issues. There were a couple of recalls early on but I've had it paid for over a year now and have never had to take it to the shop other than an oil change and only 2 tires. I haven't even had to replace the brakes yet. I have no plans on replacing this car. I plan to drive it until it dies and hopefully that will be for another 95k miles.

This is my second GMC vehicle and I love it more than the last.This SUV rides like a car. Comfort is great.I love the I6 engine, plenty of power when you need it. So far it's been a blast to drive. I put about 25 to 30k miles a yr so comfort, power and reliability are very important to me and so far my Envoy XL has lived up to my expectations. Fuel ecomony so far is avg at best. Looking for mpg improvement as soon as the weather gets a bit nicer

Just bought the Envoy XL SLE. I love it, but it's not a minivan. I bought it with the idea that my wife and three kids (2, 4, and 6)would use it. Great idea...it sits way up high, handles/rides superbly, nice quality (and I am leery of GM products) but the execution didn't pan out. The Envoy is too tall for her to get in (solved: purchased running boards), doesn't have nearly the functionality (cubby holes, cup holders), and the tumbling seats are a nuisance to pile into/out of every time for my three little kids. Don't get me wrong, I like the XL...but it's not going to work out for the "wife car".

This is the best SUV on the market. I love it. I used to own a '97 Chevy Tahoe, but you can't even compare the two! I can't even tell I'm riding in a n SUV when I'm in it. It has nearly as many features as my husband's loaded Cadillac DeVille.

Got the SLE XL in hopes of replacing my minivan. Not a good idea. Yeah, it sits 6 adults...but I've got three little kids. Tumbling the second row is a pain, especially with all the car seats. Not a good idea. Now, in a few years it'll be ideal. And I love to drive it myself. My first GM product in a while (I swore myself off years ago after getting burned) so I'm crossing my fingers and hoping for the best.

I have owned my Envoy for 7 years, I have 51,000 miles on it. I love the ride and the comfort. I did have one problem that cost me $700. I plan on keeping my Envoy for many more years. I want to thank GMC for making a quality SUV. I manage to get around 18 MPG in the city and 21 MPG on the highway, I have never had a heavy foot so I believe that is why I get better mileage than most other owners.

While this review covers the VORTEC V-8 in my envoy, the inside materials are really of sub standard quality compared to other vehicles in this price range. I must say that im not as happy as i would have been and hope that GMC will change these in the future ..as they say we are professional then use pro parts.

What a great vehicle. I bought this one for my wife and I am now considering getting rid of my BMW 528 to get another. I got an LT with every option available and it was worth it. So many creature features make the Envoy a must drive. I must say that I was impressed with Burns Pontiac in Marlton - it was a no haggle environment and you only pay 2.5% over invoice.

I was excited when I bought my first SUV. It was loaded and had everything I ever wanted in an SUV. The problem I have with the Suv is the seats are soooo uncomfortable, and the electric seats don't move very far in an upright position. I feel I am in a recliner while I am driving. I am used to a car with firmer seats and electric seats that go in all positions. $30,000.00 and my back hurts every time I get out of the car.

Bought it for room. That it has! Mileage is constant 15 - 16 mpg city driving. Especially nice is the rear heating zone separate controls, AutoVolume radio, cassette, CD player. Heated outside rearview mirrors, etc, are ergonomically perfect. Love the 8- way power seat with lumbar support, individual seating lighting, etc. Handling is strong and decisive, and the 4-wheel drive is sure and simple to use. Had considered the Buick Rendezvous, but the wife preferred the GMC Envoy styling.
Horrendous City Gas Mileage

City driving is a disaster. 12.5 mpg using premium fuel (and I drive conservatively). This is awful for a six cylinder engine. It is a beautiful vehicle, but it "squeaks" and gets (in my opinion) lousy gas mileage. I can't wait for the lease to expire.
