GMC Acadia

On the outside, Acadia stands out from the crowd because of two things: the way it looks and the way it works. Premium details abound, including brilliant projector-beam headlights and fast-illuminating LED tail lights. Acadia also has a drag coefficient of just 0.344, which contributes to an extremely quiet highway ride and great fuel efficiency.

Acadia provides accommodation for as many as eight occupants on three rows of seats, and all seating positions provide adult-size room and comfort. Entry and exit are easy, thanks to Acadia's low ride height and Smart-Slide™ second-row seats that glide forward and flip up with one hand to provide convenient access to the rear.

Acadia's high-tech powertrain includes a 275 hp 3.6L DOHC V6 VVT engine and a six-speed automatic transmission. Not only does this combination deliver thrilling acceleration, it also enables a substantial 2041 kg (4500 lb.) towing capacity.

Acadia can adapt to changing needs in an instant, with an interior capable of carrying up to eight people one moment, and as much as 3311 litres (117 cu. ft.) of cargo the next. Acadia's cargo area is easy to access, too, thanks to an expansive liftgate opening, an available power liftgate and a standard 60/40 split-folding third-row seat.

Acadia looks after your future - and that of your family - with a broad range of safety equipment. Excellent visibility, agile handling and advanced systems like StabiliTrak™ help you avoid collisions, and safety cage construction, 6 standard air bags, OnStar and a host of other features all help protect you if a crash proves inevitable.

Inspired by a world of choice, Acadia gives you a range of 3 well-equipped models to select from, all available with front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive powertrains. Whichever one you pick, you'll benefit from over a century of GMC's truck engineering experience.

Acadia SLE defines family transportation for a new era, with room for up to 8 people in a vehicle that's stylish, sophisticated and a great performer. Under the hood, a 275 hp DOHC V6 and a 6-speed automatic transmission wait to do your bidding. A long wheelbase and a finely tuned fully independent suspension assure a comfortable yet controlled ride. Standard safety equipment includes StabiliTrak™, traction control, 6 air bags and OnStar. There's also a long list of amenities, including front and rear air conditioning, cruise control, power windows, door locks and mirrors and a 6-speaker sound system with an MP3-compatible CD player.

Acadia SLT1 is about more, as in more style, more comfort and more convenience. Its exterior appearance is brightened by chrome beltline mouldings and body-colour mirrors. Dual-zone automatic front climate control is standard, along with a universal home remote, an upgraded Driver Information Centre and an auto-dimming interior rear-view mirror with 8-point compass. Leather-appointed front bucket seats take the interior into luxury territory. Acadia SLT1 also excels when it comes to entertainment, with a 6-disc CD changer, XM Satellite Radio™, a Bose® 10-speaker sound system and a rear-seat audio system, all standard.

For those who want it all, GMC created Acadia SLT2. Acadia SLT2 starts with the features of Acadia SLT1, then it goes even further, with even more premium equipment. A power liftgate provides effortless access to the cargo area. A heated windshield washer fluid system helps quickly clean away insect residue and light coatings of ice and snow. Other desirable standard features include an 8-way power driver's seat with a memory function, power folding exterior rear-view mirrors including an auto-dimming driver-side mirror and a remote starting system.
