I had my Envoy XL for four days when a drunk lady rear-ended me. I was stopped at a red light. She hit me going about 35mph. My baby boy was in the back seat. The seatbelt his carseat was in stayed tight. We were both safe. And like the lady on the freeway I only needed a new rear bumper. Although greatful for the safety of my son and myself, my feelings were sure hurt. Thank you GMC for your safe cars.

Since last review The air bag warning light has appeared so I took the GMC to 3 auto shops and all three would not touch it. The dealer tested it ( $150.00)and said it was the front collision sensor and would cost $400.00 to replace it. I looked it up on u tube and it was less than 1 hour to replace it if you have a pit or a lift. Luv those Dealers. All else is working great.

Highway MPG not as promised

I traded in my 2001 Isusu Trooper anniversary edition for the Envoy XL for the 3rd row and better highway mileage est. of 18 mpg., o4 better than I was getting with the trooper. I drive consistent hwy speeds for 39 miles each way and only maxed out at 14.2 mpg. Anybody else experiencing the same thing? I'm considering having the dealer look at this because that is the claim for city mileage not highway and will trade in the lease for something with better fuel efficiency.
Worth the Test Drive, Worth the Purchase

This vehichle is by far the best mid- size SUV I have driven. The XL version has more cargo room than the Chevy Tahoe and gets great gas mileage (compared to others). The Denali trim is aesthetically pleasing and detailed and provides one of the smoothest rides you will experience. The optional sunroof will take the place of the rear seat DVD entertainment system but provides a fun-in-the-sun experience without the hurricane wind affect you will find in other vehicles. Highway fuel economy averages between 19-20 mpg with an empty load and 18-19 mpg fully loaded. At one point I was messing around with the Average Fuel Economy button and I was getting around 25 mpg at 45-50 mph!
