2021 Acadia Denali AWD... Likes and dislikes
5 out of 5 stars
Rudy, 01/13/2021
2021 GMC Acadia Denali 4dr SUV AWD (3.6L 6cyl 9A)
Likes: Looks great, Powerful V6, very smooth transmission, solid braking, adjustable heads up display is great, plush comfortable ride on long trips, plenty of room for adults in 2nd row bucket seats, easy to navigate and personalize electronics, many safety features, defeat switch to disable stop/start feature, hidden tow hitch. Outside of the few minor personal dislikes listed below, … this is a really nice vehicle, and so far I am very happy with it. Dislikes: No audible warning from blind spot monitor when using turn signal to change lanes. Loud wind noise at highway speed when roof rack cross rails are installed. Additional monthly fees for "MyGMC" internet app. The optional integrated cargo mats don't fold well, and can be frustrating when raising 3rd row seats. The right and left instrument panel clusters are designed differently than the center cluster and the outboard halves of both can be difficult to see clearly when bright sunlight is coming through the driver's window.

2022 GMC Acadia AT4 4dr SUV AWD (3.6L 6cyl 9A)
Love my Acadia AT4, interior is simple which gives it a sport luxurious feel, quality materials and great fit and finish. All black wheels/trimming, awesome LED headlights, large front grill, gives it an aggressive sport luxurious look. Very comfortable ride quality and very fast V6 engine with a 9-speed transmission. Plenty of space, captain chairs and 3rd row.

Acadia Ohio, 04/27/2021
2021 GMC Acadia Denali 4dr SUV AWD (3.6L 6cyl 9A)
Having bought two new Acadia Denali's prior to the 2021 model, we felt this purchase was a "no brainer"; however, nothing could be farther from the truth. We purchased the vehicle in January of 2021, and within 2,000 miles, it needed a new transmission. After getting it back from a week at the dealer, the sensor system started acting up and the vehicle started to smoke. We brought … it back to the dealer, and it was determined the engine block was porous per a GM service bulletin, and the entire engine needed to be replaced. It has been three (3) weeks and the vehicle remains at the dealer. We are a loyal GM family, but not are very scared of this vehicle and have requested a refund. Waiting to hear from the dealer. On a positive note, the dealership was attentive and emphathetic......
MAJOR Transmission Problems

2021 GMC Acadia SLE 4dr SUV (2.5L 4cyl 9A)
We bought a brand new 2021 GMC Acadia SLE on May 1st. It was so new that it only had 4 miles on it when we left the car lot. I drove it the first week and all was fine. Fast forward to May 8th, with 519 miles on the car, and all of a sudden, my car starts shaking and had to be towed to a dealer. The dealer said it needed a new transmission and supposedly fixed it, so I got the car back … on May 18th with 527 miles on it. Today, May 23rd, I got in my car again and didn’t even get a mile away from my house when my car started shaking again and alerting me the transmission and engine needs services immediately. I called another tow truck and it’s now sitting at the dealer and we will have to see what they say tomorrow morning since it’s a Sunday. Since purchasing the car on May 1st, I’ve had it to drive about 10 days and it has been at a shop basically 11 days including today. We traded in a 2016 Mazda CX-5 to have more room for our growing family and we never had any issues with it. Wishing we kept the Mazda because this has been a headache. This car has major issues for it to happen to us twice in a 3 week span. We also overheard someone at the dealership service department say ours was the 2nd Acadia to have this issue. BUYER BEWARE
We have a limited number of reviews for the 2022 GMC Acadia, so we've included reviews for other years of the Acadia since its last redesign.
