2006 GMC Envoy Review
GMC's midsize SUV gets an antiskid system for 2006. Envoy shares a basic General Motors design with the Buick Rainier, Chevrolet TrailBlazer, Isuzu Ascender, and Saab 9-7X. Envoy offers five-passenger and extended-length seven-passenger XL wagons. Both come in SLE, SLT, and Denali trim. All but the Denali have a 291-hp inline 6-cyl engine. Denalis use a 300-hp V8 equipped with GM's Active Fuel Management system, which saves fuel by deactivating four cylinders while cruising. All Envoys come with a 4-speed automatic transmission. They also offer rear-wheel drive or 4-wheel drive that can be left engaged on dry pavement and has low-range gearing. Joining antilock 4-wheel disc brakes as standard equipment for '06 is GM's Stabilitrak antiskid system with rollover sensors. Curtain side airbags that cover the 1st and 2nd seating rows are optional. Other options include a load-leveling suspension, power-adjustable pedals, DVD entertainment, and navigation system. Denalis stand apart with a chrome grille and other styling touches inside and out, plus extra sound insulation. This evaluation covers both Envoy and Ascender.
Competition
Consumer Guide® Automotive places each vehicle into one of 17 classes based on size, price, and market position. Larger than Compact SUVs, Midsize SUVs offer a mix of car- and truck-type construction, V6 and V8 power, and up to 8-passenger seating. This class also includes crossover vehicles.
Our Best Buys include Honda Pilot and Toyota Highlander. Our Recommended picks are Dodge Durango, Ford Explorer, Ford Freestyle, Nissan Murano, Nissan Xterra, and Toyota 4Runner.
New or significantly redesigned models include Hummer H3, Jeep Commander, Pontiac Torrent, and Subaru B9 Tribeca.

News
Like Chevy's TrailBlazer, Envoy loses extended-length models for 2007, due to lackluster sales. Other models are rumored to get a heavy makeover or full redesign for 2008, but we've also heard that GM may bail out of truck-based midsize SUVs as being out of step with current and projected market trends. Stay tuned.
Meantime, GMC is preparing to launch Acadia, its first-ever unibody truck. Due to arrive in late '06 or early '07, this large crossover wagon shares GM's new Lambda platform with the 2007 Saturn Outlook and upcoming 2008 Buick Enclave. Acadia will have its own styling and maybe some exclusive features, but will follow its siblings by offering V6 power allied to front-wheel drive and AWD. Three-row seating will available, if not standard. We'll be learning more soon, so keep checking back with us.

Consumer Guide® Road Test Ratings
Acceleration
Regular-length 6-cyl Envoys and Ascenders unstressed in routine driving, do fine in highway merging and passing. Seven-passenger Envoy XLs and Ascenders weigh about 350 lb more. In these, 6-cyl is only adequate. Test regular-length 2WD Denali strong from a stop, has fine passing power. New cylinder-deactivation feature is seamless in operation.

Fuel Economy
Extended-use-test 4WD 2003 Envoy XL with 6-cyl averaged 15.8 mpg over 21,677 miles. Test regular-length 2WD Denali averaged 15.2 mpg in mostly city driving. GM claims V8's cylinder-deactivation system improves fuel economy by up to eight percent in certain light-load driving conditions.

Ride Quality
Load-leveling suspension, available for Envoy but not Ascender, is more composed than conventional coil-spring setup, which allows float and wander at highway speeds. Envoy XLs share longer wheelbase with seven-passenger Ascenders. This helps smooth out bumps, but the seven-seat models also porpoise through dips and swells without the air suspension.

Steering/Handling/Braking
Trucky, with a tippy feel in aggressive cornering and annoyingly vague steering feel. Relatively tight turning radius eases close-quarters maneuvering. Brakes have good stopping power, but spongy pedal action.

Quietness
The 6-cyl cruises quietly enough, but sounds 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. Denali markedly quieter under all conditions.

Controls
Envoy and Ascender share a user-friendly dashboard with smooth-acting switchgear, though a test model had a loose, flimsy headlamp knob. Mainstream Envoys use unimpressive imitation-wood trim, but are more upscale than TrailBlazers for interior decor. Combined navigation/audio relatively easy to use. Denali's leather and unique trim bits do little to improve interior ambience.

Room/Comfort/Driver Seating (front)
Good head and leg room, even for taller folks. Seats fairly comfortable and supportive. Driver has good view to front and sides, but headrests and roof pillars hamper lane changes and backing up. Available power-adjustable pedals help tailor a comfortable position, especially for shorter drivers.

Room/Comfort (rear)
Six-footers have ample 2nd-row head and knee room, plus adequate underseat foot space despite uneven floorboard. Split bench seat comfortable, fairly supportive, and wide enough for three adults with a little squeezing. On seven-passenger models, 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
Ample in regular-length models, bountiful in extendeds. The 60/40 split 2nd row seat with automatic-folding headrests converts easily, but extendeds have a tiered floor that complicates packing.

Value within Class
We judge Envoy the best choice among GM-built midsize SUVs. It has a pleasing enough interior, and a good ride/handling mix with the optional rear air suspension. Truck-tough engineering is a plus for towing. Still, car-type SUVs remain more sensible for most everyday users. Iuszu Ascender shares the virtues of comparably outfitted Envoys, but suffers from a thinner dealer network and potentially lower resale value.

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.

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
