2020 GMC Acadia

There are lots of updates for 2020. One of the more significant ones is the introduction of the AT4 off-road grade into the trim lineup. Also huge is the new available 2.0-liter turbocharged four, and a new 9-speed automatic transmission now pairs with all engines as well. The infotainment system is enhanced. Later in the model year a head-up display will be available. A few exterior styling tweaks round out the changes. See the 2020 GMC Acadia models for sale near you

We think the SL is fairly well equipped, but GMC provides this trim as a no-frills, budget choice. There are no available options for it. For the extra money, the SLE doesn't add much to the SL's standard features list, but it does unlock a load of possibilities for options. We'd go with the SLE and then pick the options we want. Find a GMC Acadia for sale

The 2020 GMC Acadia is offered in five trim levels: SL, SLE, SLT, AT4 and the upscale Denali, with 5-, 6- and 7-passenger configurations available. Adding 4WD to any grade -- except the AT4 -- increases the bottom line by $2,000. AWD is standard on the AT4. All prices reflect the $1,195 factory destination fee.

The SL ($30,995) includes 17-in alloy wheels, privacy glass, heated mirrors, a rearview camera, proximity entry and push-button start, tri-zone climate control, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, cloth upholstery, blind-spot monitor, lane-change alert, rear cross-traffic alert, rear-park assist, OnStar emergency communications, a 7-in touchscreen interface, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, 4G LTE Wi-Fi, USB ports and a 6-speaker sound system with a media player interface and an auxiliary audio jack. Seven-passenger seating is standard, but second-row captain's chairs and 6-passenger seating can be added as well.

The SLE ($34,995) adds 18-in alloy wheels, a spare tire, carpeted floor mats, a road-emergency tool kit and satellite-radio capabilities.

Pick the SLT ($40,895) and you'll get the all-new 4-cylinder turbo, hands-free power liftgate, 8-in touchscreen, upgraded infotainment system with navigation, 18-in machined alloy wheels, brushed-aluminum roof rails, LED fog lights, a 120-volt power outlet, 6-passenger seating with second-row captain's chairs, leather first- and second-row seats, an 8-way power driver's seat with power lumbar control, heated front seats, an 8-speaker Bose audio system with HD radio, an auto-dimming inside rearview mirror and remote start.

The all-new AT4 ($44,395) focuses on off-roading. Compared to the SLT, it gains the V6 engine, advanced-clutch AWD, hill-descent control, hill-start assist, 17-in aluminum wheels, all-terrain tires, black roof rails, a second-row bench seat with 5-passenger seating, and a cargo-management system. It also loses rear climate controls.

At the top of the lineup is the Denali ($47,990), which boasts special styling flourishes, 20-in alloy wheels, LED headlights, a configurable gauge cluster, an 8-way power passenger seat, heated and ventilated front seats, heated outboard rear seats, 2-person memory settings for driver's seat and outboard mirrors, a heated power-adjustable steering wheel, wireless charging, automatic emergency braking with forward pedestrian detection, forward collision alert, auto high-beam on/off, front/rear park assist, lane-departure warning, lane-keep assist, and a safety-alert driver's seat.

Drivers opting for the Denali's Technology package also get a 360-degree camera system, upgraded adaptive cruise control, a head-up display, a rear camera mirror with a washer and higher-speed forward-collision automatic braking. Both the SLT-2 and the Denali can be equipped with an optional adaptive suspension.

There's a wide variety of packages (too many to list here) available for each grade, except the SL.
