GMC Envoy 5.3 V8 290

The GMC Envoy 5.3 V8 290 reaches 60 mph in 6.42 s (100 km/h in 6.76 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 15.11 s, tripping the lights at 92.6 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.61 s and the eighth mile in 9.84 s.

Simulated, not measured — computed from published kerb mass, rated power, gearing and drivetrain, then fitted to this car’s own published acceleration figures. Dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

About the Envoy 5.3 V8 290

The 2008 GMC Envoy 5.3 V8 290 is a rear-drive naturally aspirated SUV of 1,998 kg with 290 bhp, which works out at 145 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 145 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.61 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 3,785th quickest to 60 mph, and the quickest of the 10 GMCs here. Its 92.6 mph trap speed sits about where its 0-60 puts it, so it launches and pulls in roughly equal measure. The simulation is trimmed to 2 of 2 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the GMC Envoy 5.3 V8 290 0-60 time?
The GMC Envoy 5.3 V8 290 reaches 60 mph in 6.42 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 3,785th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the GMC Envoy 5.3 V8 290 quarter mile time?
15.11 s at 92.6 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 9.84 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.61 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the GMC Envoy 5.3 V8 290 have?
290 bhp and 1,998 kg, which is 145 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, naturally aspirated, with 4 gears and a quoted top speed of 175 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the GMC Envoy 5.3 V8 290?
Closest here on pace: Acura ZDX (6.40 s), Cadillac Escalade (6.50 s), Acura MDX 3.7 V6 300 (2010) (6.58 s). Each one can be raced against the GMC Envoy 5.3 V8 290 in the panel at the top of this page. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
Are these real measured times?
No. Every figure on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. The GMC Envoy 5.3 V8 290 is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 2 of its 2 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

Figures regenerated 2026-10-12. Every number on this page is computed by the simulator at build time, so the page and the app can never disagree.
