2019 GMC Acadia

2019 Acadia Photos
The 2019 GMC Acadia has big families in mind. The three-row crossover SUV, new for 2017, seats up to seven occupants and shares some running gear with the Chevy Traverse.

A new Black Edition appearance option has been introduced for the 2019 model year. Available for the SLT trim level, the package includes 20-inch machined aluminum wheels with black accents, plus a black grille, headlight and taillight details, mirror caps, and roof rails.

In addition, new 17-inch wheels are available for the All Terrain option package, offered on SLE and SLT trim levels. The All Terrain package features five-passenger seating with distinct interior accents, dark chrome trim, a body-color grille surround, and cargo management system.

The 2019 Acadia is available with either a 4-cylinder engine or a V-6, and with standard front-wheel drive or extra-cost all-wheel drive. The non-turbocharged 2.5-liter base engine makes 193 horsepower and 188 pound-feet of torque.

Strong and quiet, the optional 3.6-liter V-6 develops a respectable 310 horsepower and 271 pound-feet. Standard in the Denali edition, it's available for all models except the base SL. Both engines mate with a slick-shifting 6-speed automatic transmission.

Seven airbags and a rearview camera are standard, but active-safety features are largely limited to high-end models. A standard rear-seat detection system can remind the driver if a child or pet might be in the back seat.

Driver Alert Package I, optional for SLE-2 and standard on SLT-1, includes blind-spot monitors, rear cross-traffic alerts, and rear parking sensors. Picking SLT-2 or Denali brings Driver Alert Package II, adding low-speed automatic emergency braking, forward-collision warnings, adaptive cruise control, front and rear parking sensors, and active lane control.

Crash-test scores excel, with two exceptions. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety gave the 2019 Acadia 'Good'? ratings in every category other than headlights, which were deemed “Marginal.” With specific optional equipment installed, front crash protection was rated “Superior.”

On the federal government side, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration gave the 2019 all-wheel-drive version five stars overall, and for frontal and side impacts. Oddly, the front-drive Acadia received a four-star overall rating..
