2019 GMC Acadia Denali 4dr SUV (3.6L 6cyl 6A)
67 of 73 people found this review helpful
I love my Acadia Denali. The size is absolutely perfect. Plenty of space and a third row without being massive. It’s good looking inside and out, and the interior is plush and high quality. Lots of great safety and convenience features. Plus, the Acadia with the V6 is one of the best riding family SUVs out there. It has plenty of power, and it is smooth and quiet. Couldn’t be happier.

2019 GMC Acadia SLT-1 4dr SUV AWD (3.6L 6cyl 6A)

I truly love my 2019 GMC Acadia SLT-1. I had researched cars for a long time and nothing grabbed me. Then I saw the Acadia. I immediately was drawn to the styling. I drove it and loved it. I researched the option packages and chose the SLT1. The dealer was easy to work with and I’m very happy with my Quartz Red Acadia. The ride is very comfortable and so far no complaints whatsoever. Update: After three years of ownership I am still extremely pleased with my Acadia and would definitely buy again. It’s been a pleasure to own and drive. No problems at all.

2019 GMC Acadia Denali 4dr SUV (3.6L 6cyl 6A)
13 of 13 people found this review helpful
My second Acadia and I really enjoy the new features. My Denali has the technology package that not only keeps me in my lane when cruising, it gives me a surround camera view when parking. Would love to have this on every vehicle. Lots of space for the family and grandkids and with all of the AC capabilities everyone stays cool and comfortable. The vehicle is great for road trips with the adaptive cruise control and handles well even in the snow.Lots of storage, plenty of legroom, even on the 3rd row,. I can not believe how much I enjoy the technology package, Being able to see a 360 view as if in a drone over the car when you park. My only problem is that I enjoy it so much, I look for it in my other cars and am disappointed.

2019 GMC Acadia SLT-2 4dr SUV (3.6L 6cyl 6A)

I started driving GMC trucks & SUVs in 1972. I have had them all from pickup trucks to Yukons,Envoys & Crew cabs regular cabs 2 wheel drive & 4x4s. I have had Terrains. This is my first Acadia & I love it. It is the perfect size for my wife & I. Easy to handle & drive. I also have a 2018 GMC Terrain Diesel which I love but it is not as comfortable as the Acadia. So when we looked at the 2019 Acadia we live the size and comfort. They are very user friendly . The seats are very comfortable & plenty of power. My wife picked it out. The color Pepperdust with the ash leather seats is beautiful. Still going strong great mileage. No problems at all. We have had it over 6 years now and everything is going great. No problems. We have averaged 26.5 miles per gallon combined. We still enjoy this SUV no troubles. We have only had to do routine maintenance. We still love it Only 1 glitch over 5 years is not bad. Sometimes it says that it is not in park. Replaced the battery this year. I have spent less money maintaining this than any other SUV that I have had. Still going strong

AT4 is Awesome! Dismiss the lame Auto Mag articles

2020 GMC Acadia AT4 4dr SUV AWD (3.6L 6cyl 9A)
12 of 12 people found this review helpful
Purchased new 2020 AT4 end of July, so have been driving it for 6 mo. and nearly 12,000 mi. So far I absolutely love it. The AT4 is an off road trim, so guys (and some gals), it looks rugged instead of some sissy city only SUV. Dismiss the lame editorials that speak ill of this SUV or it's off road capabilities. What are your needs? Boulder crawling, river crossing, mud bogging? Then yes you need a more aggressive 4x4 like a serious Jeep, Toyota 4Runner, or 4x4 pickup.But if you live in a harsh winter area, like to snow ski, or reach that trailhead that happens to be on crappy dirt road the AT4 is more than capable. The articles like to be critical on it's ground clearance of 7.2 inches and make it sound like certain competitors have so much more at 8 or 8.2 inches. Have they looked at tape measure lately?! Really?! One inch or less! Give me a break! They fail to point out that these competitors, though are AWD, that's all they are. The AT4 has an Off Road on it's selector (along with 2WD, AWD, Sport, and Tow/Haul) that turns the AWD system into a more capable off roader by engaging a twin clutch system providing more torque to wheels that are loosing traction. I have personally found this system to work extremely well on 3 separate occasions, 2 being on deep muddy roads with some relatively steep inclines, and 1 in sugar sand. The AT4 performed beautifully! The AT4 gets the 3.6 six cylinder married to a 9 speed trans. At 310 hp the engine is very strong and the 9 speed is smooth as silk.You won't have any problem pulling out in traffic or passing. 0-60 in 6.1 sec. With the trailer package you can tow 4,000 lbs. In my opinion the ride is very smooth, taking bumps and such very well. Cabin is very quiet even at highway speeds. I have taken two trips both of which were nearly 1500 mi and included some of that "off roading" I mentioned and still managed a solid 23 mpg combined. And that's with me being notorious of having a heavy foot! For me, at 6ft. and 210lbs, I find the seats to be very comfortable and supportive. They can come configured differently with seating from 5-7 people. Mine has captain chairs in second row and a third row seat. The 8 inch screen is great and very quick. Instrument panel in nice and easy to use. Air vents are abundant with large vents in front and four more in the ceiling to the third row. Storage and gadget holders everywhere. In my opinion the interior is very nice, not plush, but very nice. Not cheap or chintzy. The Bose sound system, well, sounds great of course. Plenty of bass through the subwoofer. Two areas I feel could be improved on. It doesn't have driver seat memory. I really feel GM should have made that standard in the AT4 since it's just a step down from the Denali. And, the gear shifter. It's an electronic push button/rocker switch which is fine actually once you get used to it, but I do have to agree somewhat with the critics on the placement at the bottom of the center stack. I do feel it would be more user friendly if it was located nearer to the steering wheel area, maybe set vertically. So, like I said in the beginning, very happy with choosing this vehicle. So if you are looking for a rugged yet comfortable SUV, and not needing a hardcore teeth jarring off roader, then I think it would be worth your time to take a good look at the new Acadia AT4.
