Outside of a slightly larger fuel tank and a couple new exterior colors, not much changed for the base GMC Envoy in 2003. The midsize SUV has a 4.2 L, 275 hp I6 engine with 4 speed automatic transmission. In addition, the 2003 Envoy comes in 4 trims: SLE 2WD, SLE 4WD, SLT 2WD, and SLT 4WD.
As for other specs, the 2003 GMC Envoy gets you 15-16 mpg in the city and 21-22 mpg on the highway. All trims have 4 doors and seat 5. Standard features include air conditioning, power windows, power door locks, ABS brakes, and cd player. As an added bonus, the SLT trim also have standard power and leather seats. Towing capacity maxes out at around 6200-6300 lbs.
Overall, drivers like the options, interior design, and the engine power. On the other hand, reviewers feels that the 2003 GMC Envoy could use some improvement in its steering and handling. While this model may have enough to satisfy you, keep in mind that you've got other choices in the SUV market that can offer even more.
What owners say
"Overall, owners appreciate the 2003 GMC Envoy for its powerful engine, spacious interior, and reliable performance. Many liked how comfortable it feels and its capability to handle various tasks like towing and hauling. However, some drivers noted that fuel economy is a downside, and the vehicle can be hard on brakes and have starting issues in very cold weather."
good car to drive and looks good ten years later has never let me down with the center console latch breaking being the only issue I have ever had. Would recommend the envoy for towing. It gets around good towing a ski boat and does top notch in the snow.
July 2, 2013I liked the safety of the size of the vehicle but still felt like I was driving a car, not a truck. There were many features that made it so convenient - multiple DC outlets, charging electronics without having to keep the car running. Used the heated seats all the time. Comfortable seating with many different settings. Good-sized back seat and rear storage space. Did not like the location of the spare tire, but at least it was a full-sized tire, not a space-saver tire.
August 27, 20134.2L Vortec 4200 I-6 is one of the best engines I've ever had. Responsive, fast, comfortable. Performs well, hauls a lot.

April 28, 2008Very reliable, runs and drives well. Mine has over 82K miles and runs, looks and drives just like the day I took it home from the dealer. It's not perfect. It is very hard on brakes and sometimes won't start on very cold days. Fuel economy is poor. However, on balance this is a very well built SUV and worth every penny.
November 14, 2009Never owning an SUV before, I wasn't sure what to think of the Envoy. But It rides beautifully and I love driving it. If only it was a bit better on fuel.
February 5, 2008I love this car! Its great for gas milleage and it is 20 miles to the gallon. great performance on and off the road and I like the fact that you can switch from 2wd to 4wd on the fly when I am driving
