2025 GMC Envoy Dimensions, MPG, Release Date

2025 GMC Envoy Dimensions, MPG, Release Date   –  You’ve never been luckyer than pickup buyers. Customers should be able to select a vehicle that meets their needs and wants, no matter what they may be, as trucks are more efficient and more luxury than ever before.

It also means many of the offerings are now wildly complex, and come loaded with technology and lightweight materials, all of which add up on the price sheet. But there are still a few good options that are simpler – and more affordable – and can haul a load and take a pounding off-road, and one of those is the 2025 GMC Envoy AT4.

2025 GMC Envoy Redesign and Update Plan

Exterior and Interior

The Envoy is just old enough now that its interior predates push-button engine start and the movement to all-glass dashboards that can turn a modern cockpit into a series of big screens. This means the use of traditional knobs for climate controls, volume and tuning knobs that are simple for a driver to find on-the-fly, and physical buttons for secondary controls like seat heaters and the cargo area lamp that mean a driver doesn’t need to search through a mess of digital menus for what should be a quick and simple command.

The standard eight-inch infotainment touchscreen has satellite radio and both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integrated. Its layout is simple, though its graphics and resolution are a bit low-rent. For the most part it worked well enough, although on one occasion the system refused to shut down or allow the driver any volume or screen control for several minutes despite shutting down the vehicle, exiting it, and locking the doors.

2025 GMC Envoy Specs

My Envoy test truck was a basic AT4 model, meaning the features list was a short one. While a heated steering wheel, for instance, might’ve been appreciated on chilly mornings, even a base AT4 is decently equipped with heated seats, a back-up camera with a trailer-connect reference line, and on-board Wi-Fi connectivity. More importantly for a truck, the AT4 comes standard with heavier-duty shocks and proper off-road tires, plus a V6 engine.

GMC does a good job of letting buyers build the trucks they want with different box lengths available, plus the opportunity to option their pickups with different packages and standalone options, including leather seating, high-end audio systems, and more safety options.

Engine and Performance

The AT4’s standard engine is the venerable 3.6L V6 from General Motors (GM) that puts out 275 lb-ft of torque and a class-leading 308 hp. Despite being down on torque compared to Ford’s turbocharged four-cylinder Ranger, the Envoy’s V6 feels ideally suited to the midsize truck and is one of its best attributes. Its power delivery is smooth and it moves the Envoy around without breaking a sweat, unlike the Jeep’s V6 that feels like it’s carrying around a few hundred more kilograms than it should (and it is).  2025 GMC Envoy Dimensions

GM’s eight-speed automatic is the only transmission offered in the Envoy and it’s a perfect match to the V6, offering smooth shifts and never seeming to be caught in the wrong gear the way the sometimes-confused 10-speed is in the Ranger.

2025 GMC Envoy Fuel Economy

As much as I love the Envoy’s V6 drivetrain, it falls short in fuel efficiency to the Ranger’s turbocharged four-cylinder, and certainly well behind GM’s own diesel offering. Rated at 14.0 L/100 km city and 9.9 L/100 km highway, I saw an indicated average of 12.1 L/100 km over a week of mixed driving.

The AT4 surely suffers in efficiency compared to other Envoy models due to the big, all-terrain tires that create more rolling drag than less-aggressive rubber. The deep air dam found on other Envoys had been removed from my tester for greater off-road clearance (and aesthetics), which also contributed to a reduction in aerodynamic efficiency.  2025 GMC Envoy Dimensions

2025 GMC Envoy Safety Features

While GMC does offer an optional forward collision alert, parking assist feature, and lane-departure warning, none were fitted to this base AT4. Other active safety features like automated braking and lane-departure mitigation found on some competitive models are not available on the Envoy. The Envoy does have a rear-seat reminder and a Teen Driver mode that prevents some safety systems from being switched off, also enabling parents to review a report card of the driver’s habits behind the wheel.  2025 GMC Envoy Dimensions

2025 GMC Envoy Price and Release Date

With a starting price of $41,898, the AT4 is more affordable than most other off-road package pickups. Aside from the missing active safety features, having Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, plus Wi-Fi, heated seats, and the off-road-ready skid plates and tires, the Envoy represents a decent value.

However, a Chevrolet Colorado ZR2 has the better Multimatic suspension, plus the Envoy’s optional trailering package and spray-in bed liner are both standard on the Chevy, which is also offering nearly $3,000 in rebates on leftover 2020 models, bringing the prices pretty close.  2025 GMC Envoy Dimensions
