2019 GMC Acadia SLE-2

The 2019 Acadia is a mid-size SUV that slots between the Terrain and the Yukon, offering three rows of seating in a more manageable footprint than its predecessor. It competes with the Ford Explorer, Honda Pilot, and Toyota Highlander, though the Acadia leans more toward upscale comfort than rugged off-road ability. The Acadia drives with a composed, car-like feel that makes it easy to maneuver in town, and the available V6 provides confident passing power. Inside, the cabin offers comfortable seating for up to seven, and the rear seats fold flat to open up generous cargo space when needed. Standard tech includes a touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, plus available driver-assistance features like forward collision alert and lane keep assist. The SLE-2 is the mid-range trim that adds convenience features like remote start and power-adjustable seats over the SLE-1, without stepping up to the leather-lined SLT-1. This SLE-2 has the 2.5L I4 with 193 horsepower, paired with a six-speed automatic and all-wheel drive, which feels adequate for daily driving but won't match the V6's punch when merging.
