2016 GMC Acadia SLT-2

The 2016 Acadia is GMC's three-row family SUV, sized between the smaller Terrain and the Yukon, and it seats up to seven. It drives smoothly and quietly, with a comfortable ride that makes long trips easy, though the steering feels a bit numb. Inside, the cabin is roomy and flexible, with a walk-through to the third row and folding seats, but cargo space behind the third row is tight. Reliability is generally good, though some owners have had electrical gremlins like radio glitches or blind-spot sensor issues, usually fixed under recall. The SLT-2 adds leather upholstery, heated front seats, and a power liftgate over the SLT-1, plus available navigation and a sunroof. Its 3.6L V6 makes 281 horsepower and pairs with a six-speed automatic and all-wheel drive, which gives you confident traction in rain or snow but returns 17 mpg combined.
