Visit GMC for more information on the GMC Envoy.


The 2003 GMC Envoy XL is an extended version of the regular size Envoy. This year a V8 engine, normally found in the full-size class, is newly available for the XL.

Available Models
The 2003 GMC Envoy XL is offered with SLE and SLT trim-levels and both rear and front-wheel drive. There are only four-door models.

Interior Features
Even though the 2003 GMC Envoy XL is a utilitarian work-horse with more room and lots more power than that which is normally available inthe mid-size SUV class, the interior is still fitted out with an assortment of great features. For example, cruise control, air conditioning with dual-zone manual controls, power steering, windows, door locks and a tilt leather-wrapped steering wheel combine with cloth upholstery, front bucket seats with lumbar adjustment, second and third row split-folding seats, remote keyless entry and an AM/FM/CD player. Remote tailgate and rear-window releases and automatic headlights add to what you can do from the Cab as an extra convenience feature. Power mirrors, an overhead console and universal garage-door opener are also part of the XL.

The SLT trim level adds to this list with leather upholstered, 8-way power front seats, memory settings (driver seat and mirror), dual-zone automatic climate control, steering-wheel radio and climate controls, rear radio controls, rear headphone jacks, and an OnStar system with one-year service (roadside assistance, emergency services). Meanwhile, for better visibility, an automatic day/night rearview mirror is in place inside.

Exterior Features
The 2003 GMC Envoy XL has a number of great exterior features as well; including a rear lift gate, rear privacy glass, roof rails, fog lights and cornering lights. Additional value added includes the full-size spare 8.5 tire, platform hitch and alloy wheels. On the SLT heated, powered side view mirrors come complete with turn-signal lights and a full roof rack.

Performance
The 2003 GMC Envoy XL has two engine choices, both of which are powerful. The XL comes with a 4.2-liter V6 engine capable of 275 horsepower at 6000rpm and 275lb-ft of torque at 3600rpm. However, a more powerful 5.3-liter V8 engine is available as an optional extra. This powerhouse has a power output 290 horsepower at 6000rpm and 325lb-ft of torque at 4000rpm. 4-speed automatic transmissions do the shifting, capable of 15/21 mpg (city/hwy).

Other mechanical handling or performance features include GM's 4WD AutoTrac 2-speed transfer case and a Class 7 trailer hitch. Skid plates and a limited-slip differential are optional additions for specific performance enhancements.

Safety and Security
Antilock 4-wheel disc brakes are standard for both trim-levels of Envoy XL, as are dual front airbags and daytime running lights. Optional safety add-ons include front-side airbags.
