The Best! Right Sized SUV for These TimesSource: MSN Autos...Our Denali's power and torque are excellent, I totally waxed a 1/2 ton Dodge Daytona "Hemi" pickup today, the look on that guys face was priceless. P.S. I have owned many toyota's ETC... and respect most of them, but this Denali is far better. Cons: Not one thing! Sad that GM is dropping this highly desirable and competitive platform. We would buy a 2010 GMC Envoy Denali instantly. Overall: The GMC Envoy Denali is a true pleasure to drive, in the city streets, the country roads, 4 wheeling or freeway lightspeed, we get better gas mileage then is published, have had no wind noise issues, and... |

Why should I also consider these?
GMC's own Acadia crossover, though more expensive, may be the best alternative to the Envoy if you're looking for a high-utility family vehicle; it's roomier and safer, and it performs better in just about every way.
The Envoy is part of a dying breed of formerly top-selling truck-based SUVs that are gradually being replaced by safer, smoother-riding car-based crossovers; among those, the Envoy is particularly trucklike in its ride and handling.
The Explorer, Pathfinder, and 4Runner especially all handle more securely, and their interiors have been kept better updated.
The Pathfinder and 4Runner also offer some measure of off-road ability.
Another possibility is the Kia Borrego, a truck-based SUV that is all-new this year, bucking the trend away from this type of vehicle.
Compared to most of its rivals, the Borrego has a far quieter, more refined cabin and an interior that feels genuinely up-to-date.
The 2009 GMC Envoy is closely related mechanically to the Chevrolet TrailBlazer, which is similarly priced but doesn't offer a model like the luxurious Denali; however, the TrailBlazer gets a sporty SS model with a 6.0-liter V-8 for those who want a musclecar-like experience.
