The GMC Jimmy has long boasted one of the best V6 Cylinder Engine in the industry, and the 2001 models certainly continue that tradition. In hopes of putting the Jimmy on top for 2001, GMC put its main contender through the automotive equivalent of boot camp, endowing it with smaller turn radius, better performance, better highway gas mileage and longer-lasting tires. 4WD Sport Utility Vehicless are generally larger and seat four (or five) full-size people. The 4WD Sport Utility Vehicles segment is fast becoming as important as the midsize sedan segment, as more and more families are discovering the compromise of utility and efficiency these automobiles provide.
The reviews came in favorably as the year progressed. The gas mileage of the Jimmy was an important consideration in the 4WD Sport Utility Vehicles for 2001. The Jimmy's success in our country lies in its aptitude to intuitively hit the mark of shoppers seeking a roomy model that becomes the new watershed vehicle in smoother ride, improved city gas mileage, better night visibility, and upgraded suspension.

In safety testing involving crashes (conducted by the IIHS), the Jimmy has earned a "good" score.
Updated Interior Styling
As 4WD Sport Utility Vehicles go, the Jimmy is well appointed with features and amenities. GMC designers have equipped the Jimmy with a shapely dash and steering wheel, and exciting materials. Good as the materials look, they feel economical to the touch and are, on the whole, lower than standard in the middle of 4WD Sport Utility Vehicles. In the front, the gauge bunch and other instrument cluster details are apparently intended to be derived from GMC's past.
