2016 GMC Acadia Denali

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 Denali gets unique exterior styling, leather seats, and a premium Bose sound system that the SLT trims don't offer. Its 3.6L V6 makes 288 horsepower and pairs with a six-speed automatic and all-wheel drive, returning 17 mpg combined. The Denali's standard Magnetic Ride Control gives it a noticeably smoother highway ride than other Acadia trims.
