2021 GMC Acadia AT4 4dr SUV AWD (3.6L 6cyl 9A)
8 of 9 people found this review helpful

Bought 2021 acadia AT4 in September. Traded in my 2018 Sierra for a more practical family vehicle. I originally was looking for an SLE elevation edition, but ended up with an AT4 as supply was an issue. Was more money than I wanted to spend but I figured buying a top trim level vehicle would be nice for a change. Big mistake. Poor gas mileage....worse then my 5.3l v8 sierra. Rattling doors with music and bumpy roads, makes the upgraded bose stereo system not worth the extra cost. Buggy infotainment system constantly connects and disconnects between wife's phone and my phone.....sometimes volume stops working and everything needs to be restarted to function properly...power down phone, power down vehicle... Worst of all the black chrome trim has all flaked and peeled off every trim piece of the vehicle and has been in the process of warrenty coverage since November. Only to be replaced by more black chrome that will most definitly do the same thing. GM will not replace with black painted pieces instead.... its really bad, and started at 3 months of ownership and 7000km of very easy driving. The vehicle does drive nice, has lots of features but I don't see the value at all. Other gripes are for 55k should have leather...nope that's another 4k option. Also only the most premium option comes with the nice guage cluster. Mine is an AT4 with almost every option available except leather but I still get the basic guages. The push button shifters are.....different... The gear lockout or +/- are placed all the way over near the passenger seat which makes them pretty much useless. The sunroof rattles when open... The at4 is supposed to be more geared towards offroad but I still payed an extra $800 to put a leveling kit in it to lift the front end for some better ground clearance. Very low for an SUV crossover. I requested the factory tow package and have towed a small trailer a few times. The camera features are nice and I do like 👍. The cabin in pretty roomy and suits my needs. All in its okay.... I will probably get rid of it as soon as I am able to. Not horrible. Not great. Not worth 60k.

Drives better than others but bad reliability

The V6 transmissions fail. Our 2018 Acadia at 30k miles and then our 2021 at 4k miles. With the adaptive suspension option, it drives better than other SUVs. A little sportier but just more connected to the road. Interior is good but showing some age. Very comfortable and spacious. V6 is more than needed.

Lackluster 4cyl Turbo 2022

2022 GMC Acadia SLE 4dr SUV (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 9A)

Love Hate Story ....I purchased the 2022 Acadia SLE 4cyl Turbo in June and after 3 Months I could no longer justfy this purchase due to the Poor MPG only getting 17 to Maybe 20 MPG around Town "sales guy" and the Slugish Acceleration with each start up was Extreamly Disappointing and Costly Purchase! I traded up now to the V6 Denali this week and took a Nice 7k bath doing so However, I got 28 MPG driving back to Tampa from S Florida and a Very Smooth Comfy Ride it is Now!! Think Twice if your concidering the New GM Turbo 4cyl Huge Costly Disapoitment for ME!

This one of many GMC products we have owned over the last 2+ decades. The V6 has plenty of power and the 4wheel drive mode is great for the beach. We had a Yukon XL for years and loved it. This is a down size for us and we use the third row for short in town trips with groups. This is not a third row like a Yukon. We use the back with separate AC/heat controls our dogs on long trips. We have a Thule car top carrier for extra luggage that mounts quick and makes very little noise or change in fuel mileage. The adaptive cruise control is a tremendous feature. The sun roofs are a waste for me but it has two. The seat heating/cooling and heads up information displayed for the driver are great. Like the camera system especially the overhead view in tight spots. Much more city friendly than the Yukon XL.

2021, not even a year old and back up camera doesn’t work, check engine light random goes on and dealership keeps giving it back saying they can’t find the issue. Abs goes off, steering warning, even on a calm day the day feels like it’s being blown by wind. Hate this car. Worst 50k I spent.
