My GMC Acadia AT4

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.

Hidden Gem

Was shopping for a family sized SUV. Almost purchased a Chev. Traverse, but realized it was too large with 20" rims and 12" longer than the Acadia. The Acadia felt right sized and with the At4 trim had all the features I was looking for. Love the heads up display, Auto bright lights, led lights, leather 6 seat seating. As this is a crossover, drive is more car like, very smooth. Love the 3.6 v6. Has plenty of power and pickup to get out of the way. Would have preferred a larger center screen for navigation, But that is the only short coming I have seen. Love this hidden gem!

2023 Acadia SLE

Ryan, 06/12/2023
2023 GMC Acadia SLE 4dr SUV AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 9A)
18 of 19 people found this review helpful

We just purchased a 2023 GMC Acadia, SLE with a few upgrades. Overall, the vehicle rides great, gets decent gas mileage and is comfortable. However, the cabin area is a lot smaller compared to the Traverse that we had previously. Ours is equipped with the 2.0 turbo which has enough power, however, it is on its second trip to the shop for a reduced engine power and turbocharger code. The first time this happened, it had just rolled over 700 miles, the second time it had just rolled over 800 miles. The dealership is supposedly going to fix it. I am not anxious to get it back and have to live at the dealership due to a lemon. I would recommend getting the 3.6 liter and a better trim or a different vehicle manufacture all together.

2022 Acadia SLT FWD 4 engine - Wow

2022 GMC Acadia SLT 4dr SUV (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 9A)
16 of 17 people found this review helpful

Test dove multiple cars in this class and several trims. Then just to be sure of my interests I skeptically test drive the 4cylinder SLT Acadia. Wow! Incredible ride, outstanding easy infotainment system, quiet smooth feel all at a great price point for todays off the charts SUV prices. After my test drive I bought this car instantly. All you need and nothing you don’t. Gas mileage is surprising and all you get for the money is way better than any other SUV in this class. Go test drive and you’ll be as surprised as I was!

2022 GMC Acadia Denali 4dr SUV AWD (3.6L 6cyl 9A)
7 of 7 people found this review helpful

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.

After our Nissan was sold back as a lemon we got an Acadia Denali. We absolutely love it. It’s quite, comfortable and drives like a dream. Really impressed. 9000 miles on it now and falling in love every time we drive it. Best vehicle we’ve ever owned.

Tranny problems

Bought a 2023 Acadia SLT. Transmission problems at 1k miles and it wouldn’t drive. Brought to dealership and they said it’s fine. Nothing is wrong. At 2500 miles it happened again. They finally admit there was a transmission problem. They had vehicle for a week and says it’s fixed. We are at 6k miles now and no issues since. But will be filing a lemon if it happens again. Don’t know if I can trust gmc moving forward.

GMC Acadia poor heater

Dennis, 03/18/2024
2023 GMC Acadia Denali 4dr SUV AWD (3.6L 6cyl 9A)
5 of 5 people found this review helpful

Our 2nd Denali, takes forever for cabin to warm up in cold weather. Blower roars loudly, but moves very little air. Once warm inside, it cools off very quickly, little or no insulation. Tiny little seat heater, very slow to warm up, only heats middle of seating area and lumbar. Forget adaptive ride control, absolutely no difference in ride, we've had both. Fluttering plastic sound inside drivers door at speed. I keep going back to GM, but don't know why.
