2024 GMC Acadia Denali 4dr SUV AWD (2.5L 4cyl Turbo 8A)
33 of 34 people found this review helpful
Have purchased only SUVs in the past 35 years. The Acadia is not a totally new experience as it does have some similar desirable characteristics that led me to consider. Size, seating & 4 wheel-drive were important, but interior quality and comfort are also high and comparable to the Denali SUVs we enjoyed in two previous GM purchases. Fit and finish are high and the quiet ride in traffic and on x-way is excellent. The electronics are current and give the vehicle the capability to deliver a lot of "hands-free-utility" allowing driver to focus on the road. I have leaned on navigation systems to help assist our travels for almost 25 years and the system in this vehicle is easy to use and with its large screen and data display instills a lot of confidence for the operator. Hope it will do so in large metro areas like Atlanta and Dallas where the roads seem to never be the same month to month. My only concern is the 2.4 liter engine, a real step-down from the 6.2 liter SUV. It seems satisfactory in the city and for cruising on x-ways, but in desperation mode, when a burst of speed is desired, it sounds like it is working very hard.

I love the 2024 Acadia because of the many safety features, spaciousness and the large center console. The technology is pretty good too except for the charging pad. My phone can barely be on there for an hour before it shuts down due to overheating. Also the lane assist is annoying then helpful. I had to turn it off because I either fighting with the car or it was driving like a drunk. Otherwise have loved my new ride so far.

Perfect For What I Was Looking For

2024 GMC Acadia AT4 4dr SUV AWD (2.5L 4cyl Turbo 8A)

I had a few requirements for the next vehicle I purchased: it had to be comfortable and good for long road trips; as an EMT/Firefighter, it needed to be able to do well when responding with inclement conditions; it had to have the latest technology and it had to look sharp. I must have spent 6 months researching every three row SUV out there. The GMC Acadia was not on my list mostly because of the historically negative reviews from the likes of Consumer Reports and Car and Driver for any GM product. I am so glad I ignored both of these biased publications and chose the 2024 GMC Acadia AT4. The All-Wheel Drive System and elevated ground clearance will get me through the deepest snow. The technology is very advanced. I love the built in Google Maps and the large main interface screen. Super Cruise is a dream. We just took a 3,000 mile roundtrip to Florida and the Super Cruise worked perfectly - it was a pleasure to rest both my arms and legs while driving. The seats were very comfortable in both the first and second rows. There is even ample space in the third row if you need to transport additional passengers. While the engine does whine slightly on hard acceleration, while cruising the car is very quiet. The sound system sounds fine. The all-terrain tires have great grip but tend to be a little noisy. I'd change them for better tires when the time comes. This is a perfect vehicle for what I was looking for. Before you decide on one of the "highly rated" consumer reports vehicles I recommend you give the Acadia a look. GMC has done an excellent job with this vehicle.

Best 3 Row SUV on the market! 2024 GMC Acadia AT4

Just purchased an 2024 AT4 this week. I test drove nearly every mid size and large size 3 row SUV on the market. The Acadia AT4 combines function and form better than the Grand Highlander, Lexus TX, Kia Telluride, Honda Pilot, Acura MDX, Ford Expedition, Chevy Tahoe, etc... The interior is on par with a Lexus and has better functionality and comfort than SUVs costing $15-$20k more. The ride quality is excellent and the engine is hits the sweet spot for HP and torque. I got mine in Volcano red with the Luxury Package and Super Cruise. Time will tell how great, but so far the best in the market.

I had purchased my 2021 GMC Terrain SLT in Nov 2020 and like it, but it was not quite roomy enough with my 6'2" 240 lb frame sitting in the driver's seat. Then I saw and read about the 2023 Acadia being put on steroids and creating my longer, wider and taller 2024 Acadia, so I went to a dealership to sit in and drive one to see for myself. Wellll, 3 hours later, on June 24th, 2024, I was driving my new 2024 Crystal Metallic (looks like Eggplant color and real pretty), Acadia home. The seats are very comfortable and has a ton of room. Rides smooth and gets "on it" when you have to pass another vehicle. The 2.5 L 338 HP beats my 2021 Terrain w/1.5 L and 170 HP hands down. I just installed some GMC floor liners, and they look so nice. It's taking a while to learn all the icons and the fact that the Acadia doesn't come with a printed Owner's Manual was not to my liking, although you can call it up on the 15" main screen and read it online on mygmc.com. My salesman even went waaaay out of his way to print me a 373-page hard copy and put it in a 3-ring binder....making it really easy to read. UPDATE: I purchased my GMC Acadia in June 2024. I just hit the 4800-mile mark and have made some observations that are just a bit aggrevating. The 15-inch control panel big and easy to see, but sometimes requires touching the icon 2 to 4 times before a chosen icon will activate, such as when I touch the driveway gate icon. I think the pad of your finger has to touch it just right. Also, the icon for changing radio seems to have a mind of its own, when I want to change from FM to Sirius and visa-versa. We really enjoy the ride of the Acadia and comfort of the seats. There is plenty of room in the back to haul just about anything you need.

What a pleasant surprise. This large 3 row has exceeded our expectations in every way. We bought the Denali trim. The interior is outstanding and very versatile. At first I had my reservations buying a 4cyl, but this engine performs so well I don’t miss the V6 my problem laden Kia Telluride had. This vehicle can take most hills without so much as a downshift. I’m getting about 23 mpg average, we’re 70% freeway drivers. Zero issues to report 3800 miles in. I’ll be back to update every quarter.

We have had our GMC Acadia AT 4 for just over 4K miles. We have had some glitches with the big electronic screen which is probably a precursor for what’s to come. The seats are not very comfortable the phone charger doesn’t seem to charge your phone. The lane assist makes you ride very close to the centerline of the roadway. I will say the mpg is better than I expected. This vehicle needs to have a V6 option for entering busy highways. The rear head rests don’t come out of the back seats so when you want to put the seats down for cargo the headrests hit the middle row and they don’t go flat. We were told the key fobs would remember seat position not true no seat memory in the AT4. We settled for this vehicle because a completely equipped Yukon was 75k.

Mini Yukon

Yes, it's like a mini Yukon—just the right size. Not too big, not too small, but perfectly balanced. Overall, I really like the car, but it does come with a few quirks. For instance, the 360° camera isn’t as crisp as some competitors. The brightness gives the illusion of clarity, but the image is not as crisp as it appears. Additionally, there are blind spots around the wheel wells where the image is blurry, making it hard to see those areas clearly. The self-parking feature is another limitation—it won’t park the car perpendicularly unless there are exactly two vehicles to guide it. That’s oddly specific and not always practical. And then there’s the engine. The turbo is... okay. It’s sluggish off the line—a bit of a turtle—but once it gets going, it’s fine for most situations. Despite these minor letdowns, it’s a solid car that I’m happy with overall

It sets up more than most cars and the driver visibility is good. It has more electronic features than I have ever seen. It surely will be great in the snow in winter. We also enjoy the roomyness. The 4 cylinder engine is powerful but I would still rather have a V6.

This SUV is stunning, period! Great road presence, larger interior, incredible tech, the 2.5 Turbo does its job, incredibly quiet when you get up to speed. It is very much improved over the 2nd generation. Very satisfied customer!

Big, comfortable, big cargo, VERY GOOD TECH, and smooth rolling down the highway. Very quiet cabin, though when you hit the I4 Turbo it lets you know it ramping up to speed. I read it is underpowered, but with 328hp, I wasn't convinced it was. Recently had it out on the interstate and it has plenty of power...too much from coasting along at speed limit, and then without knowing it wants to go 15mph more and climbing. The tech is super, and I own another car with the Google built in...so go for the annual $200 subscription for all the features, its great. (also, it has a ton of built in tech without the subscription) I'm not used to driving this big of an SUV, so the 360degree camera is useful too. At the price, I really haven't seen anything close, and I have owned many luxury euro cars and SUVS. 2024 GMC Acadia has it all!

Beautiful vehicle with a very refined interior and if that's enough for you this is your ride. However, if you want something that has power and you can count on to accelerate effortlessly, stay away. GM made another huge mistake with the pathetic 4 cylinder engine (which they claim has 328 hp). It whines like a little 4 banger and does not have the power necessary to pull a large, heavy vehicle like the Acadia. Overpriced and underpowered...not a combination I'm interested in. Try harder GM.

I traded my 23 Yukon Denali in for the Acadia. It has good power with the four cylinder. The seats are way more comfortable than my Denali. It drives extremely smooth and the touch screen is great and responsive. The best part is the led and headroom my sons who are 6’5” and 6’6” love all the room. My son commented it had better headroom than his new Ram 2500.

Please save yourself the headache and DO NOT BUY THIS VEHICLE!!! I bought a brand new 2024 Acadia Denali AWD in August 2024. On the way home from the lot I noticed a defect on the dashboard that had to be fixed through warranty. The cameras (backup and 360) only work half of the time. Now the rear blinker and brake light are not working due to electrical issue that has to again be fixed through warranty. This vehicle is a major headache. GMC should be embarrassed as this is very unprofessional grade. Very disappointed!

Needed a new car as our family grew to two children. Wanted 3 rows but an SUV that looked sharp, drove smooth, had lots of room. Loved the new Acadia immediately, super sharp looking vehicle so they knocked it out of the park with the redesign. Got the Elevation package, black out package, luxury package with moon roof, and super cruise. Car is on 22 inch wheels, black paint and rims. Interior is really nice and premium feeling and love the massive screen. Took a week or two to learn all the features but absolutely love driving this car with family or on solo rides. Only quirk I noticed is no door hook for hanging clothes. I’d say get super cruise if you do any highway driving. Cabin is very quiet and spacious, great seating position, seats are comfortable. The car isn’t a race car but it defintely can zip you along the highway especially when you put in sport mode. Only real knock I have is the sound system doesn’t have as much umph as other cars I have had. Wife has a 2020 Acura RDX and I think that sound system is better. May upgrade to have stronger bass but that’s a personal performance, average person probably won’t care as much.

had it 4 months and the right side lower molding started falling off, dealership said it had been installed improperly during production. At the 8 month period vehicle would not start, back to the dealer who said it was only a low charge on the battery, 1 month later we took a trip and the second morning vehicle was dead, had to jump it off, at 11 months vehicle would not start again back to the dealer this time was told the right front headlight and the right rear taillight were bad along with a problem with the super cruise system (which had never been used) causing the battery to go dead. End of owning a GMC product traded this piece of junk off. Will never recommend or own a GMC badged vehicle again.
