History

The Envoy debuted as a 1998 4-door, 4-wheel drive midsize luxury SUV based on the GMC Jimmy. The Envoy was redesigned for 2002 with a new 4.2-liter aluminum inline six-cylinder and a 7-passenger Envoy XL was added. For 2004, the Envoy XUV was added with a sliding rear roof and a Midgate divider for cargo versatility. The XUV discontinued at the end of the 2005 model year.

The 2007 GMC Envoy adds a standard tire-pressure-monitoring system on all trims, regulated voltage control on both the six-cylinder and V8 engines and an OnStar Generation 7 system. Silvermist Metallic, Midnight Blue Metallic and Graphite Metallic are added as new exterior colors.
