I only had my Acadia 2020 for about a month and some ran a stop sign in front of me going 60 mph! I had my dash cam on. It was awful!! Every airbags deployed. The other lady involved had to be taken to the ER while I walked away with just a black eye. Everyone who watched the video says THAT Acadia saved your life!!!
Exactly the right size - great car!

2020 GMC Acadia Denali 4dr SUV (3.6L 6cyl 9A)

Pretty pricey... but it is the right size, not too big and not too small. Traded in a 2019 Tahoe - it was also a great car, but too big and "trucky." The Acadia handles more like a car - much more responsive and quicker. Wife is primary driver and she loves it!

I have tested just about all of the midsize suv vehicles and this car by far has the best ride quality. The new transmission makes a major difference. Plus, I like that the suv isn't as large and bulky as some of the other vehicles in its class.

This is a review of a rental. I rented one of these and drove it 8hrs home and really really enjoyed it! First impression-roomy, comfy, well lit interior. Felt actually more like getting in a truck. Impressive. Get it on the highway, holy cow this thing MOVES! VERY quick and it's very nimble. Does not feel at all like a suv, more car like and cat quick. I'm actually looking for a Escape but dang, now this things got me thinking! I'd say the mileage was 27 on the highway, not bad. It is rock solid at 80. Have I said I seriously enjoyed driving this thing? It's really got me thinking about that Escape vs this lol.

AT4 is Awesome! Dismiss the lame Auto Mag articles

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.
