2019 GMC Acadia SLT-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. Stepping up to the SLT-2 adds leather seating, a power liftgate, and heated front seats over the SLT-1, plus the option of the V6 with all-wheel drive. This one has the 3.6L V6 making 310 horsepower and 271 lb-ft of torque, paired with a six-speed automatic and all-wheel drive, which gives it confident highway merging and all-weather traction.
