Acadia Denali

2011 GMC Acadia Denali 4dr SUV (3.6L 6cyl 6A)
I have 6 weeks experience with the Acadia Denali FWD. Overall the ride is quiet and comfortable. There have been no mechanical issues. The six cylinder engine provides adequate power, but not high perforance by any account.
The gas milage is quite disappointing so far.
I probably would not have made this purchase if I knew how bad the milage would be.
Combined driving is 15-16mpg. … Dealer says it will get better after 5,000 mi?
I doubt that highly.
I have seen 20 mpg only on long
highway trips.
The Chevy Tahoe/GMC Yukon gets this kind of milage in a substantial SUV as opposed to this disguised minivan.
My take on Mileage and Interior Design

2011 GMC Acadia Denali 4dr SUV (3.6L 6cyl 6A)
Bought Acadia Denali 2011 - Have 1800 miles on it now.
Mileage:
I drive on Highway 5 Los Angeles back and forth to work.
I leave home around 6.30 A.M - Get 22-24 MPG
Leave work around 4 P.M
-Get 16-17 MPG
City :
14-17 MPG
Do not go by the on board computer that shows how many miles per gallon you are getting - Calculate yourself - Fill Tank - Note mileage - Drive and put some miles … on it and then Fill again to see how many gallons you used.
Interior: I have owned Navigator, Audi A6 before.
I traded Accord to get this - Accord had way more leg room than this - Find it hard to rest left foot when driving - Get very frustrated because of poor design - Not enough leg room.
$48000 car that does not have a compass

Did not find out until after puchase that you can not get a compass on your Denali if you have the Bose entertainment system and the rear entertainment dvd player. Seems kind of cheap of GM to go high end on car but low end on every day useful
items.
BIG MISTAKE BUYING THIS VEHICLE

2011 GMC Acadia Denali 4dr SUV (3.6L 6cyl 6A)
Ok I had a 2011 Acadia Denali miles 152k color white I felt in love with the view the color the interior the surround system for Music BUTT! The engine Light came on like in 5months after purchasing it in April 2023 and I went to go get it checked out it turns out this truck had 10 codes that needed to be fixed I didn't want to get rid of the truck because I like it but then again it … costs me a pretty penny to fix it, you had to fix the catalyc converter all 3 of them, shocks in the front, starter, and on top of that the motor Die and replaced it. I should of given up on this vehicle!!! But I learned my lesson NEVER AGAIN WOULD I BUY A ACADIA. I got rid of the truck because it still needed more maintenance. It's the Looks of the vehicle that just looks nice but the MOTOR SUCKS!!
