2019 GMC Acadia Denali 4dr SUV AWD (3.6L 6cyl 6A)
5 of 15 people found this review helpful
I have owned 3 previous Acadia’s, I was not aware of how much they had cut the size of the vehicle, it is almost a small size SUV, Also my drivers seat is very uncomfortable, it does not have near as much movement as my previous Acadias. I am sorry I bought it and I am trying to trade it.

Denali no longer a luxury package

The 2019 Acadia is a good sized SUV. I like everything, but 2 items. The Denali woodgrain is metal and rather ugly. What I hate the most are the squeaky brakes. It is embarrassing. I've had them checked, but the tech said they are ok. An SUV that costs that much shouldn't sound like a junker.

Overall a nice SUV. Back up camera not very clear, the one on my Mustang GT is 10 times better in clarity. The radio is too complex, . Did I mention NO CD PLAYER. Some college idiot must have came up with the complexity on this SUV. I'm 54 and would much rather a simple to operate car than this. Has a auto shift down when braking going down hill,hate it. Now the GOOD Average fuel economy 24-26 MPG It handles well, has good power and shifts well. It is well for setting 5, but the 3rd row seating is only for kids. Nice option is the buttons on the door handles to lock/unlock the doors. Nice leather on the dash and steering wheel. I only have 184 miles on it. Maybe in time I will get use to its complicity or ignore it. If you love all the extras, usb, bluetooth, on star, xm radio, and so on the this would be a great SUV for you. What would be awsome is if they would go back to the days where you could order a car the way you wanted, not the way the manufacturer tells you what you get. Very comfortable to ride in, I have back problems but this rides very nice. To sum up as you can tell, I HATE the radio, But from what I can tell so far everything else very good. Warning about the oil, it takes dexos oil, so make sure you use the correct stuff. I now have 3,000 miles on it. It would be more, but i perfer to drive my Santa fe over the Acadia due to its simplicity. The reason i purchased the Acadia was it had a V6 and not a little cylinder turbo.

I own a 2012 GMC Acadia SLT1 with 23,000 miles on it and was becoming concerned over car's age even though very low mileage. I loved this vehicle so much that I was interested in purchasing another. I took a test drive in the 2019 SLT1 & was so disappointed! In 2017, GMC down-sized this SUV and I found everything so much smaller than my current model. I personally feel that GMC made a BIG mistake in making this SUV smaller. Enough so that I am looking at other model vehicles (Traverse, Atlas, etc.).

Noisy and feeling of instability

I just had a 3 week rental, upgrading to what Avis called a 7 passenger, but this Acadia only had 6 seats. (and only 2 cup holders, so I got to clean milkshake out of the carpets). The highway noise was 67 db, about the same as my 737 flight, although shy of the 72 db Boeing 767. So conversation on the highway was out of the question. It was also very poor at resisting the cross winds of Florida I 95, and wavy roads gave a swinging or unstable sensation that my wife complained about all day. The center screen is very poor, disconnecting from car-play at random, requiring unplugging and plugging in the phones again, then finding the hidden Waze icon. With the size of the screen, they could have much more there, without searching. I'm not sure if it was a factory setting or another renter, but the doors were programed to lock as soon as the door was closed, so after opening the door for my wife, I had to unlock the driver's side again. Eventually I found how to reprogram this. On the plus side, the rear camera and approaching object warning was good. But it is an awfully big car for only 6 passengers, and very little luggage room when those last two seats are up.
