GMC Envoy Summary

The GMC Envoy is an SUV designed for adventurous drivers. Features like supportive seats and all-wheel drive give this SUV excellent off-road capabilities. Drivers also praise the powerful engine and excellent towing capacity, which ranges from 5,800 to 6,200 lbs depending on the trim level.

Though production ceased in 2009, drivers agree that this vehicle is reliable enough to run well for years to come. It also comes with modern tech features like a remote starter, satellite radio and Bluetooth connectivity.

GMC Envoy Safety

Even though the GMC Envoy lacks some of the advanced features found in newer SUVs, its safety credentials are still strong. Later model years around 2005 come with an advanced rollover sensor, which deploys the side airbags in the event your SUV rolls over. Other available options also include anti-lock brakes (ABS), electronic stability control (ESC) and traction control that work together to stop the car skidding when braking suddenly.

GMC Envoy Interior

Newer GMC Envoys from 2005 includes a number of interior amenities as standard, including:

Dual-zone climate control
Cruise control
Power locks
Power windows
Keyless entry
Tilt-wheel steering column, to adjustment your steering wheel comfortably

Upgrading to top trim levels adds a DVD entertainment system to keep your passengers engaged on long trips, as well as a premium sound system. Leather seats are also available on the SLT for added comfort and a more refined look.

GMC Envoy Technology

The GMC Envoy features a smaller number of tech amenities than many competitors, but in its latest model—the 2009—it still covers the essentials, including:

Satellite radio
Bluetooth connectivity, to allow connection of phones or other mobile devices
In-dash navigation screen
Second-row sound control accessories

Older models like the 2003 also kept passenger entertainment in mind, offering a DVD entertainment system in the rear seat and upgraded audio system.

GMC Envoy Space

The amount of space varies between models, with five and seven-passenger options available. Seven-seaters are a good choice for large families or drivers with lots to move, but the rear rows are on the smaller side. We recommend that buyers who don’t need that much seating go with the five-seater, which increases head and legroom throughout at the expense of the two extra seats.

The GMC Envoy's cargo space is also impressive. Depending on the year and trim level, you can get between 80 and 107.4 cubic feet of space when the rear seats are folded down. Later models offer 43.7 cubic feet of space even when the rear seats are in use.

GMC Envoy Comfort

Thanks to the GMC Envoy’s all-wheel drive, drivers are guaranteed a smooth and stable ride no matter the road conditions. Even when going off-road, the supportive seat structure and excellent suspension keep you and your passengers comfortable. In particular, drivers love the front bucket power seats, finding them comfortable in stop-and-go traffic as well as off-road. If you’re looking for an SUV with lots of storage space that can handle rougher road conditions, the GMC Envoy is a smart buy.
