Consumer Review of the Week: 2017 GMC Acadia

CARS.COM — GMC took a risk when it downsized its full-size Acadia three-row SUV for the 2017 model year, shedding inches and pounds to create a package more in line with such sales-leading three-row SUVs as Honda’s Pilot and the Ford Explorer. The new Acadia scored highly versus its rivals, finishing second only to the Pilot with judges in our Cars.com Three-Row SUV Challenge 2016. But would the new version score highly with shoppers? Here is a buyer who was looking for such a smaller three-row and found the new GMC Acadia plenty roomy, and pet-friendly.

Jeneane from Idaho writes:

“I was looking for a smaller crossover that had plenty of room for my two big dogs and had third-row seats that would lay completely flat when put down. The Acadia fit the bill perfectly. It also has lots of great features, is nice looking, gets good gas mileage, and has plenty of get up and go when needed. The Acadia is very comfortable, fun to drive and handles the snow great! I love this car and would give it a 10 if possible!”
