Though you may have recently spied an Acadia at a GMC dealer near Port Huron like ourselves, you may not have realized that this isn’t the Acadia of the past; in fact, GMC calls it “the all-new” Acadia. Several differences between older models and this one come together to create a bigger, better Acadia, perfect for family outings to Blue Water River Walk or Pine Grove Park, your daily commute, running errands, or taking your spouse out to eat at places like Freighters Eatery & Taproom. The possibilities open up when you’ve got the Acadia to take you anywhere you want, any time you’re able.
The Acadia was first designed for families that appreciate comfort, with plenty of space to get settled in for rides long or short. Lots of standard safety features mean your family will be kept safe while on the road, and with the latest technology, they’ll stay entertained instead of resorting to the dreaded “Are we there yet?” every ten minutes. If you’ve been looking for a replacement for your older family vehicle, or you’ve decided you want something stylish that can haul and tow, the 2024 GMC Acadia may be the perfect fit for you.
What Is the GMC Acadia?
When you look for a family vehicle, do you look for a smaller SUV, a larger SUV, or something in the middle? Moving from one size to another has its benefits. Larger SUVs have more room to stretch out, with additional space in the back for cargo. They also have a higher hauling and towing rating, which means you could equip your SUV to pull a camper, trailer, or recreational vehicle. However, there are also benefits to driving a smaller SUV: they’re easier to park, get better fuel economy, and can still haul and tow. However, the GMC Acadia is the best of both worlds. The 2024 Acadia is a midsize SUV, larger than its predecessor by almost a foot and rapidly approaching the length of the full-size GMC Yukon.
The Acadia is more than a regular midsize SUV, though; it’s larger, bolder, and more powerful, capable of taking you, your family, and all the equipment necessary to your favorite campground, theme park, or other special event. Its looks have been elevated to show off its wide stance, streamlined body, and many other improvements. The Acadia is your ticket to paradise, whether you’re on the way to lunch at the Raven Cafe or you’re taking friends and family to the Fort Gratiot Lighthouse. During the ride, you and your passengers will be awed by the Acadia’s smooth handling, quiet ride, and spacious interior.
How It Bests the Competition
With highly esteemed competitors like the Volkswagen Atlas and the Ford Explorer, what can the GMC Acadia offer you that outshines its rivals? GMC’s answer is “Plenty.” The redesigned, updated Acadia has comfortable, wide seats for seven or eight people, with an additional 24% max cargo volume. Need to haul something big? Put the seats down and revel in how much space there is. You’ll be as safe as can be with over fifteen standard safety and driver assistance features, which means you’ll have help navigating the highway and city streets.
Looking for something a little more exciting? How about the fact that the newest Acadia is the most off-road-ready version yet? There are plenty of places around Point Huron to explore off-road, whether you’re interested in hiking, camping, fishing, or hunting. Looking for more road-trip-friendly features? The 15.0-inch infotainment center allows you to listen to your favorite podcasts and playlists without having to squint to see what’s next. All trim levels have the option to include a power sunroof as well so that everyone can enjoy the natural light, and if you’re interested in trying out the latest Super Cruise hands-free driving tool, you can add that, too.
What You Get With the Acadia
Every Acadia now comes standard with a turbocharged 2.5L four-cylinder engine capable of producing up to 328 hp. With great power comes great responsibility, and the Acadia measures up rather well, able to tow up to 5,000 lbs, which means you can tow your boat, toy trailer, or camper to the lake for a weekend getaway or for summer vacation. You’ll also have room to store your equipment in the Acadia, due to more cargo space and the large storage bin that sits directly beneath the floor of the cargo area. Packing and unpacking are a cinch due to all of this extra storage space.
The AT4 is Acadia’s off-road option, and the Denali is the top-of-the-line luxury trim. With the Denali, you’ll sit comfortably on leather seating as you admire the chrome and wood trim. A 12-speaker Bose stereo system provides excellent sound quality, and for those hot summer days and freezing winter nights, the first two rows come with ventilated and heated seats. Of course, the base trim also has plenty to offer, including the 15.0-inch vertical infotainment center, detection sensors for both pedestrians and bicyclists, and an additional seat over its higher trim siblings.
GMC’s Promise
The Acadia is the newest vehicle to make good on GMC’s promise of providing high-quality, powerful vehicles. GMC vows that the Acadia is more spacious as well, delivering more front-row legroom than any midsize SUV on the market today. The optional Super Cruise tool works on over 400,000 miles of road in North America and can assist you with automatic lane changing and trailering, which can be quite strenuous on long journeys. GMC promises to make driving easier, more enjoyable, and comfortable, no matter the length of your trip.
GMC also promises that you’ll always know what’s around you, whether to the side, the front, or the back, with up to nine available camera views. You won’t have a blind spot anymore because there’s always a camera keeping an eye out. You’ll be able to drive with more confidence, thereby decreasing the stress of long drive times. Whether you’re interested in the GMC Acadia because of its size, storage capacity, power, tech, off-road capabilities, or hauling and towing specs, it will impress you over and over with peak performance and a myriad of helpful features.
