Acadia first came out in 2007. It was named after an American national park, which has come to be known as one of the most beautiful places on Earth. This vehicle by GMC is definitely a place you would want to go back to again and again.
The GMC Acadia has impressive features that will keep its occupants relaxed and comfortable for hours at a time. Not only that, it also has ample space for your friends or family members to ride along with you wherever you choose to take them–which could be just about anywhere thanks to this SUV’s power train options!
Acadia offers three different engines for the consumer to choose from. The first one is a 3.6L V-6 that generates 288 horsepower–which will provide you with direct power to your wheels. There was an issue initially where this engine would downshift two gears at once, so GMC has upgraded it so the transmission only shifts one gear down which makes driving smoother.
The second engine option is a 2.5L 4-cylinder turbocharged engine! This bad boy features direct injection technology and uses gasoline or E85 as its fuel source for added efficiency to your wallet! It provides 288 horsepower just like the V-6, but it’s worth noting that you can get up to 30 mpg on average driving Acadia if you go with this engine.
And last but certainly not least, the third option is a 3.6L V-6 LPG FlexFuel engine! If you’re worried about high gas prices and want to help save money at the pump, this fuel saver will get 30 mpg on average just like its turbocharged counterpart–but it can use E85 or gasoline so you have more options when filling up.
If you plan on going off-roading in your Acadia, fear not. It has a ground clearance of 8.5 inches which will allow you to tackle all sorts of trails with ease! Not only that, but if there’s ever a situation where Moab is calling your name then GMC Acadia has got your back. It comes with a SelecTerrain system and the rear axle can be locked for added traction on those rougher trails–this feature will help you reach that goal mile marker faster than your friends who are still stuck trying to figure out how to turn on their vehicle’s four-wheel-drive!
No matter what type of terrain you plan on tackling or what road you plan on cruising, Acadia is up for the challenge–and it’s an attractive choice too! With three different trim packages there is sure to be something to match your style. The first option is SLE, which has alloy wheels steel gray grille surround and a chrome front bumper. Next up is SLT which also has a chrome front bumper but has an aluminum rear skid plate. The third option is the Denali which has more a unique chrome grille surround and body-color bumpers with black moldings–it even has running boards if you’re interested in that!
