Bold Exterior

The Acadia’s athletic stance, impressive height, and long wheelbase get noticed. Its large grille and C-shape LED headlights add to its attention-getting beauty. It also has sporty 18-inch metallic wheels and black roof rails, which give it a rugged look. The heated side mirrors are power adjustable and have integrated turn signals.


Comfortable Spacious Interior

The Acadia’s cabin is open and spacious. It seats eight over three rows. There’s 44.3 inches of leg room on the first row, 41.5 inches on the second, and 32 inches on the third. The steering wheel and front seats are heated, so you get a comfortable driving experience even in the winter. The tri-zone automatic climate control with separate controls for the rear makes sure every row is as comfortable as the first. It also comes with remote start.

There are small touches throughout that add up to big comfort and convenience. For example, there are 10 cupholders spread across the three rows so that everyone has space for their drink.


Versatile Cargo Space

The Acadia’s cargo area has a cargo capacity of 23 cubic feet. This is ideal for carrying your groceries or luggage. If you need to carry larger items, the rear seats offer a 60/40 split-fold. This gives you the flexibility to carry both passengers and cargo. When the third row fully folded, you have 57.3 cubic feet of cargo space. With the second and third rows folded, your cargo capacity expands to 97.5 cubic feet.

The autosense power liftgate automatically opens if you’re near and in possession of the key fob. This makes getting access to the cargo area effortless.


Power and Performance

The Acadia has a 2.5L turbo engine that produces 328 horsepower and 326 lb-ft of torque. With the included trailering package, it can tow up to 5,000 pounds. It comes with front-wheel drive and a traction select system, but all-wheel drive is available too.


Technology and Connectivity

The 15-inch infotainment system comes with Google built-in, voice activation, and wireless smartphone integration. It also has Wi-Fi hotspot capability and wireless charging to keep everyone connected. It has a 120-volt power outlet and USB ports on every row. There’s also a premium 12-speaker Bose audio system.


Safety and Driver Assistance

The Acadia comes with over 15 standard safety and driver assistance features, including forward collision alert, adaptive cruise control, blind zone steering assist, and rear park assist. While this doesn’t eliminate the need for safe, alert driving, it does offer a bit more confidence in challenging driving situations.
