GMC Envoy XL Denali

The new Envoy replaced the Jimmy name in GMC's lineup. While it still shares a platform with the Chevrolet TrailBlazer, the styling is differentiated. Early versions used the 270 hp (201 kW) Vortec 4200 engine, while later Envoys stepped up to 275 hp (205 kW). This rating grew to 291 hp for the 2006 model year. All Envoys have 4-wheel disc brakes. A Displacement on Demand 5.3 L V8 was used beginning in 2005. The Envoy was Motor Trend magazine's Sport/Utility of the Year for 2002. The 4200 Vortec I6 engine has been named to Ward's 10 Best Engines list annually since its introduction. Engines:

• 2003-present LL8 4.2 L (256 in³) I6
• 2003-2004 5300 5.3 L (323 in³) V8
• 2005-present 5300 5.3 L (323 in³) V8 with Displacement on Demand

Models

XL

One unique element of the Envoy is the availability of a 3-row 7-passenger Envoy XL version. This vehicle has a 16 in (406 mm) longer wheelbase and a higher roofline allowing easier access to the third row of seats. The roof is disguised by standard roof racks. The XL model was produced at the Oklahoma City Assembly plant, but production ended in 2006 and was replaced by the GMC Acadia.

XUV

A 5-passenger Envoy XUV was introduced in 2003. It had a retractable rear roof, a two-way tailgate and a "MidGate" between the passenger compartment and loaded area. The main advantage was a waterproof, lockable cargo area as opposed to the pickup truck crossbreed, the Chevrolet Avalanche. However, it had a much smaller cargo area and breakable side glass. Sales of the XUV sold did not meet expectations and ended in 2005.

Denali

In 2005, a Denali luxury version of the Envoy became available. Envoy and Envoy XL are both offered in the Denali trim, which have an upgraded interior with luxury car-like features such as heated power seats, extensive woodgrain trim, and rain-sensing windshield wipers. Prices for the Envoy Denalis range from US$37,145 to $43,895.
