2017

For the last decade, GMC’s hottest-selling SUV — and its sole entrant in the midsize-SUV segment — has been the Acadia. Offering standard 3-row seating, V6 power and a large interior, the vehicle has bridged the gap between a midsize crossover and a full-size model. But while GMC has done a good job keeping the Acadia current with features and equipment, it’s suffered from an older design, an aging interior and an overly familiar appearance. But the fully redesigned 2017 GMC Acadia is now here, with a new design, a new interior, new features and one especially big difference over the outgoing model: its size. It’s 7 inches shorter than its predecessor, and it now offers a standard 4-cylinder and an optional V6 rather than a standard 6-cylinder. And while interior space is roughly the same for the first two rows of seats, GMC has taken a chunk out of third-row legroom and the cargo area in an effort to make the Acadia smaller than its predecessor. It’s a big change for a vehicle that’s competing in a segment in which age tends to make competitors larger and roomier, not smaller.
<p></p>
<h4>Autotrader’s Advice:</h4> We’d go with an Acadia SLT-1 or SLT-2. The SLT models are pricey, but they’re also very well equipped, boasting a long list of today’s latest safety features and technology. With that said, it’s hard to deny the impressive value of a base-level Acadia SL, assuming you don’t mind the slow 4-cylinder engine.
<p></p>
<h4>What We Like:</h4> Handsome appearance; powerful V6; lots of technology; more easily maneuverable due to small size.
<p></p>
<h4>What We Don’t:</h4> Less cargo space and third-row seat room than outgoing model; lethargic base-level 4-cylinder.
<p></p>
<h4>Original MSRP:</h4> $30,000-$45,800 (when new).
<p></p>
<h4>MPG:</h4> Base models use a new 2.5-liter 4-cylinder, which makes 194 horsepower and 190 lb-ft of torque. That engine returns 21 miles per gallon in the city and 26 mpg on the highway with front-wheel drive or 21 mpg city/25 mpg hwy with all-wheel drive. Drivers looking for more power can upgrade to a 3.6-liter V6, which delivers 310 hp and 271 lb-ft of torque. That engine returns 18 mpg city/25 mpg hwy regardless of drivetrain.
<p></p>
<h4>Standard Features &amp; Options:</h4> The Acadia is offered in six trim levels: SL, SLE-1, SLE-2, SLT-1, SLT-2 and the upscale Denali. As for engine choices, the 2.5-liter 4-cylinder is standard on SL, SLE-1, SLE-2 and SLT-1 models. The V6 is optional in the SLE-2 and the SLT-1 and standard on the SLT-2 and the Denali.

<p></p>
<h4>Behind the Wheel:</h4> The latest GMC Acadia is certainly more maneuverable than its predecessor. Smaller sizing and more direct handling and steering give the SUV a peppy, drivable feel, especially in tight spaces like parking garages or crowded city streets. We’re also impressed with the SUV’s improved visibility, its enhanced interior and its muscular optional V6, which offers more power than the 6-cylinder engines installed in virtually every rival. Of course, there are drawbacks. Rear-seat room remains generous, but third-row room has been dramatically cut to the point where it’s now pretty tight, even among similarly sized rivals. The same goes for cargo volume, which also sees a decline this year. And while we’re impressed with the long list of features and equipment offered by the Acadia, we can’t help but wonder if interior materials couldn’t improve at least a little bit to bring the SUV up to par with some slightly nicer rivals.
