2015 GMC Acadia

2015 GMC Acadia

Pros: Good driving dynamics for a largish midsize SUV; availability of classy Denali model; smooth, strong V6 powertrain; better passenger- and cargo room than most midsize SUVs

Cons: Pricier than comparable Chevrolet Traverse; 3rd-row seats are rather cramped; middling fuel economy

CG Says: The 2015 GMC Acadia sees no significant changes for 2015, save for the addition of a heated leather-wrapped steering wheel as a standard feature on SLT-2 and Denali models. With its high-for-the-class starting price and mediocre fuel-economy numbers, Acadia might seem like a tough sell. But shoppers who are willing to pay this premium are rewarded with an impressive vehicle. Acadia’s rugged good looks are a nice match for its capabilities: smooth, strong, refined powertrain; composed, comfortable ride; attractive interior; and outstanding passenger and cargo accommodations. However, don’t commit to the 2015 GMC Acadia until you test drive the more affordable Chevrolet Traverse.
