What’s new, highlights, and safety info for the 2009 GMC Acadia.
Introduction
The Acadia is GMC’s version of General Motors’ Lambda family of crossovers. It was the first to market of what are now quadruplets spread across the GMC, Saturn (Outlook), Buick (Enclave), and Chevrolet (Traverse) brands. It offers the size and most of the versatility of a full-size SUV while delivering on-road manners and fuel consumption that are much friendlier.
Three trim levels are offered: SLE, SLT1, and SLT2. All are available in either front- or all-wheel-drive configurations and use the same 3.6-liter V-6 and six-speed automatic transmission. The all-wheel drive Acadia is rated by the EPA at 16 mpg city/23 mpg highway, while the front-drive version achieves 17/24.
Verdict
The Acadia is good at what it does, offering plenty of room even for large families. It provides a strong alternative for moms and dads or other people haulers who are too cool to be seen in a minivan, although we still maintain that minivans offer better packaging as long as ground clearance isn’t on your list of must-haves. Standard and optional features meet or beat those offered on other vehicles in the segment. The Acadia has the strongest looks and one of the more attractive interiors among the Lambda siblings.
