This vehicle (2025 Acadia Denali) is the ideal redesign from the earlier version. Mine is the basic Denali without sunroof or super cruise. We just completed a 3000 mile trip to Great Smokey Mts and surrounding areas and averaged 28mpg for the trip in fwd. it is AWD which I expect to be lower but very impressed so far. The comfort and space is far above average and being 6’5” and wife 6’ we truly appreciate and notice when this is not the case. The electronic technology and huge touch screen information is second to none. Zero lag as is the case with almost all other makers. There is almost no cabin noise and the sound system is completely adjustable for any type of listening (other vehicles in this class have lesser quality sound) with the Bose system. HUGE cargo space and the option for roof cross rails set it apart from many other similar vehicles. Wheels and rubber are big enough and not unnecessarily huge which saves $$ down the road. Ride and handling are silky smooth and maneuverability is far better than expected. Don’t listen to those who say it lacks power with a turbo 4, because it does exceptionally well despite not having the deep rumble of a V6 or 8. Can’t wait for more road trips in this exceptional beast! For several K under $60k this is one great ride!

My brand new 2025 Acadia is already in the shop for a factory defect. The brake power assist and electronic stability control failed. How in the world can a brand new vehicle have such fundamental defects?

Very underpowered with A/C on and any kind of a headwind p[lud noisy.. Struggling to get better than 22.5 MPG...Dash lights are do dim on full light that you cannot see the center panel with controls when it is sunny out, this after I tinted the front windows. Should Purchased the Cadillac XT6 with the 6 cylinder. Engine..

I purchased the 2025 Acadia Denali, which is the fourth Acadia Denali I have owned (2012, 2014, 2020, 2025). Overall, it is a sharp vehicle, comfortable and well appointed. Even though I would still prefer the V6, the 2.5 Turbo seems to do pretty well even though a little noisy under heavy acceleration. On the comments side, I think that GMC went too heavy and dependent on the reduction of hard controls and incorporating those controls into the infotainment system. An example would be the light switch and the Heat/Vent seat controls. Another example would be the drive mode control on the left side of the dash and displaying in the center. Having too much attention being paid to the infotainment center for routine operations takes a driver's attention away from driving the vehicle and contributes to "Distracted Driving". My biggest complaint has been that during daylight (sunny or hazy) hours; the driver and infotainment display is so dim it can't be barely seen. This is a safety hazard due to the distracted driving and dependence on the infotainment center for routine vehicle controls. Other owners of the 2025 Acadia have similar complaints as found on the Acadia Forums. In fairness, GM is working with me on this concern and hopefully will get it resolved. With a V6 and the display issue resolved, I would give this vehicle a solid 5 stars.
