2013 GMC Acadia First Drive Review

The 2013 GMC Acadia represents one of the most competitive vehicles in the GM fleet as it competes in a extremely competitive class.

Facing vehicles like the new Nissan Pathfinder, Mazda CX-9, Ford Explorer, Dodge Durango and Hyundai Santa Fe, the GMC Acadia is among many worth challengers.

What sets the GMC Acadia apart from the rest is its commodious interior, comfortable highway ride and excellent cargo capacity.

Check out this solo review from Nathan from the heart of Illinois.

According to GMC: ”

INTELLIGENT CONTROL

Stabilitrak with traction control technology helps the driver stay on course, even during sudden maneuvers, by intelligently managing braking and throttle to help keep the vehicle on the path being steered.

POWERTRAIN PERFORMANCE

Acadia’s performance is powered by the 6-speed 3.6L V6 engine. Delivering 288 HP@ 6300 RPM, it gets you and your cargo moving.

ALL WHEEL CONFIDENCE

Acadia’s available All Wheel Drive (AWD) gives you the confidence of an intelligent powertrain that instantly reacts to driving conditions and keeps you moving forward.

AGILITY AND TURNING

Acadia features a fully-independent suspension that helps deliver a smooth, premium ride. Light in design, it’s tuned for optimum ride and comfort. This impressive handling also provides a tight turning radius for rounding corners and parallel parking.”

Okay, I get some of this – but the 2013 GMC Acadia needs more power and less expense.
