2018 GMC Acadia Denali 4dr SUV AWD (3.6L 6cyl 6A)

Test drove the Acadia Denali AWD with tech package Black on Black. Engine felt like it was struggling even though it is a V6. Interior looked kind of cheap. A lot of money for this vehicle. Now it could be that this particular engine was not good and that a different unit would drive better. Have seen frost white and crimson red exterior in another dealership with cocoa interior that looked nicer. Unfortunately wanted AWD and this was only one they had. I also wondered if FWD maybe drives better.

This rental taught me not to own an Acadia!

Family of five on vacation. Seems to be lacking in shocks. If we hit the smallest bump in the road it bounced like Tigger and the second and third row occupants could feel it, especially. Third row seating is fine if you have nothing but people to haul but forget putting luggage inside. If you own this as a family and plan to go on a road trip, also plan to put a luggage holder on top of the vehicle or you won't get enough space to haul your things. If it weren't for the bouncing it might be an alright vehicle for around home, but not road trips. I can't believe this was offered as a rental as most rental agencies know families with more than 2 bags often rent vehicles. And it starts at just under $30000.00??? With the features offered, lack of space and performance, I came on here expecting to see a starting price more in the $18000.00 to $22000.00 range.

Blown Away

This SUV has power! It caught me off guard, but the engine has zip, the vehicle has a bold presence, seats passengers comfortably, and is relatively easy on gas. It has every safety feature imaginable and I drive it with confidence that my little one is safe and comfortable when we ride.

My 2018 Acadia is solid as can be. It rides smooth and quiet, tows my 4000 lb trailer effortlessly, and returns very respectable gas mileage. Solid engine and transmission combo.
