2004 GMC Envoy Review
A unique version that opens its cargo bed to the sky is the 2004 highlight for GMC's midsize SUV. Envoy shares a basic GM design with the Buick Rainier, Chevrolet TrailBlazer, Oldsmobile Bravada, and Isuzu Ascender. Envoy comes as a 5-passenger regular-length model and as the 7-passenger extended-length XL. The new XUV uses the extended-length body, seats five, and has a power sliding roof section over its cargo area. It also has a "midgate" wall behind the rear seat that, along with the rear seats, folds to extend the length of the cargo floor. The midgate includes a glass divider window that powers down. XUV has a dual-action tailgate that drops or swings open on side hinges; it also has a power window.
Standard on all Envoys is a 275-hp inline 6-cyl engine. Optional for XL and XUV is a 290-hp V8. A 4-speed automatic is the sole transmission. All Envoys offer rear-wheel drive with available traction control or GM's Autotrac 4WD that can be left engaged on dry pavement and includes low-range gearing. Antilock 4-wheel disc brakes and 17-inch alloy wheels are standard. Front side airbags are optional; the driver's bag covers head and torso. Curtain side airbags are unavailable. Rear DVD entertainment and power-adjustable pedals are optional. Newly available for 2004 is satellite radio and a navigation system. The latter is part of a combination radio/navigation unit that puts the navigation screen in the audio faceplate. This evaluation covers the Envoy and Ascender.

News
Envoy and Envoy XUV should see mostly minor yearly changes until 2007, when sources expect a makeover, if not a full redesign, for all of GM's midsize SUVs. The same naturally applies to the related Chevy TrailBlazer and Buick Rainier.
For 2008, GMC reportedly departs from tradition by offering its first-ever unibody model, a car-type crossover SUV to supplement Envoy. Based on GM's long-delayed Lambda platform, this new "truck" replaces a planned Pontiac version that would have been sold in the same Pontiac-GMC showrooms anyway. One well-placed Detroit source says GMC is getting the crossover as a reward for its recent strong sales performance. Buick and Saturn will have their own Lambdas, but the GMC will doubtless emphasize the brand's truck-tough heritage in appearance, advertising and perhaps some exclusive features. Like its divisional sisters, also yet unnamed, GMC's newbie is expected to offer V6 power (a 3.5- and/or 3.9-liter) linked to front-wheel and all-wheel drive. We'd guess it will be close in size to the 5-passenger Envoy, but lighter and biased toward on-road driving rather than off-road excursions.

Consumer Guide® Road Test Ratings
Acceleration
Regular-length 6-cyl Envoys unstressed in everyday driving, do fine in highway merging and passing. Seven-seat versions of Envoy and Ascender weigh about 350 lb more, XUVs about 430 lb more. In these, 6 cyl is still adequate, but V8 adds useful muscle for hauling or towing heavy loads. On downside, V8 adds about $1500.
| SLT 4WD | SLT 4WD w/air susp. | XL SLT 4WD, 6 cyl | XUV 4WD w/air susp., V8 | Class Average |
| 6 | 6 | 5 | 6 | 4.8 |

Fuel Economy
Test regular-length 2WD and 4WD Envoys averaged 12.1-17.4 mpg, depending on driving conditions. Extended-use 2003 Envoy XL with 6 cyl and 4WD averaged 15.8 mpg over its 21,677-mi. test. Test V8 versions averaged 15.2-15.7 mpg. By comparison, test 4WD Explorers averaged 17.1 mpg with V6, 14.1-15.4 with V8. Test XUV with V8 averaged 14.8 mpg.

Ride Quality
Rear load-leveling air suspension available on Envoy, but not Ascender, is more composed than the coil-spring setup, which suffers float and wander at highway speeds. Envoy XL shares longer wheelbase with Ascender EXT. It helps smooth out bumps, but without the air suspension these 7-seat models also porpoise through dips and swells. Note that GM uses a solid rear axle vs. Ford's independent rear suspension.

Steering/Handling/Braking
Trucky, with a tippy feel in aggressive cornering and annoyingly vague steering feel. Tight turning radius makes for fairly easy close-quarters maneuvering. Standard antilock 4-wheel disc brakes deliver good stopping power, but spongy pedal action. Optional traction control available on 2WD Envoys and Ascenders works well in the snow.

Quietness
It cruises quietly enough, but 6-cyl engine sounds gruff when cold and a touch ragged at full throttle. V8 is more refined. Some tire noise at highway speeds, and that's drowned out by considerable wind noise, especially from around the sunroof--even when it's closed. Running Envoy XUV with both the cargo roof and midgate glass open generates wind roar as speed rises.

Controls
Envoy, Ascender share clear, handy dashboard design. Switchgear has smooth, quality feel, but one test model had a loose, flimsy headlamp knob. Envoy's imitation-wood trim unimpressive, but interior decor otherwise more upscale than that of TrailBlazer. New navigation/audio combo a sensible mating of map screen, navigation functions, and radio controls for relative ease of use. Button on ceiling console controls XUV's power midgate window and power sliding rear roof; roof can also be activated by inserting and turning ignition key in tailgate lock.

Room/Comfort/Driver Seating (front)
Good head and leg room, even for taller folks. Seats fairly comfortable and supportive. Driver's view to front and sides good, but obscured by headrests and roof pillars in lane changes and backing up. Available power-adjustable pedals may be helpful, especially to shorter drivers. XUV midgate no impediment to rear visibility.

Room/Comfort (rear)
Six-footers have ample 2nd-row head and knee room, plus adequate under-seat foot space despite uneven floorboard. Split bench seat comfortable, fairly supportive, and wide enough for three adults with a little squeezing. With 7-passenger seating, 2nd-row seats slide forward and tilt up for accessing 3rd-row seat, which is roomy enough for two adults and more comfortable than those in most midsize SUVs.

Cargo Room
Generous in regular-length models, spacious in extendeds. The 60/40 split seat folds easily, helped by automatic-folding headrests. However, instead of a flat load floor with all seats folded, extended-length models, have a tiered floor that frustrates easy loading and packing. Liftgate's separate-opening glass is relatively high, making it difficult to load some items. Cabins have a good array of pockets and compartments for small items. No other SUV has Envoy XUV's roof design, which provides closed-wagon security or open-to-the-sky versatility. Roof section over cargo bay powers forward to accommodate extra-tall items, such as shrubs or large appliances. Midgate window nicely isolates cargo bay from cabin, and powers down for extra ventilation. Midgate wall between cargo bay and rear seat folds to lengthen carrying floor, though doing so eliminates use of rear seat. Cargo bay itself is plastic-lined and can be washed with a hose. In all, it's an imaginative package that expands the SUV's capabilities with minimal compromise.

Value within Class
Envoy is the best overall value among these Buick/Chevy/Olds/Isuzu siblings. It has a relatively pleasing interior, and its optional rear load-leveling air suspension, which isn't offered on TrailBlazer or Ascender, benefits both ride and handling. And no SUV matches the Envoy XUV's blend of traditional wagon and innovative cargo hauler. Their truck-based design is a plus for towing, but these GM-built wagons aren't as sensible for most everyday users as car-based midsize SUVs. And their lack of curtain side airbags is a serious omission in today's market.

Pricing Key: Retail prices listed with each report are set by the vehicle's
manufacturer. These figures appear on each car's federally mandated window sticker.
Most price lists also include dealer-invoice prices. Dealer-invoice prices are
what the dealer pays the manufacturer for the car and its factory-installed options.
The destination charge is not included in the suggested-retail or dealer-invoice price
and must be added to the cost of the vehicle. Car companies change prices frequently
throughout the year. If the prices published do not match those on the vehicle's
window sticker, the manufacturer has probably altered the price recently.
NA = price note available, NC = no charge.

NHTSA Crash-Test Results

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) tests a vehicle's
worthiness in front- and side-impact collisions and rates its resistance to
rollovers. Front-impact crash-test numbers indicate the chance of serious injury:
5 = 10% or less; 4 = 10-20%; 3 = 20-35%; 2 = 35-45%; 1 = More than 45%. Side-impact
crash-test numbers indicate: 5 = 5% or less; 4 = 6-10%; 3 = 11-20%; 2 = 21-25%;
1 = More than 26%. Rollover resistance numbers indicate the chance for rollover
when the vehicle leaves the roadway: 5 = Less than 10%; 4 = 10-20%; 3 = 20-30%;
2 = 30-40%; 1 = More than 40%.
