Solid SUV across the board

Overall it’s a great suv, nice styling, adequate power and mileage. Interior is attractive and functional. Plenty of space for most situations. Only real complaints are with GMs infotainment system, it could definitely work better.

Best vehichle I have ever owned!

I currently own a 2015 Acadia Denali AWD. Love it! Kept it cause new ones are smaller. Also can't get heads up display in new ones, which I hope to never be without. Only drawback I see is blind spot alert does not come on till front of approaching passing car is right at your rear bumper. Need to be alerted when car is 2 to 3 car lenghts from me. Denali has most other bells and whistles.

Worst car I've owned

I started with transmission problems at 86,000 miles. I was never informed by the dealer it had a powertrains warranty of 100,000. I ran into an insurance adjuster who told me about it. Well by then I was over by 5 miles. Currently at 156,000 and it's given out not worth the price. It is falling apart inside as well, the plastics and buttons are very sensitive.

The "Whale"

SO big! GMC made a very poor decision with replacement model which is now hard to distinguish from a Terrain. Will now buy the new Chevrolet Traverse....lower make, better product. Mr. P

New tech

The car is spacious and comfortable with 21st century tech, it's looks are well matched with it's 6 cyl performance. I'm still learning about all the bells and whistles: I do find the owners manual tends to assume people are tech savvy and some steps are left out in print. YouTube is a great place to find some answers, the service adviser at the dealership is a fountain of information.

Love this crossover!

This is the 2nd GMC Acadia I've owned and I love everything about it. I like the roomy interior and the many luxuries is has. I use it mostly with the 3rd seat down which gives you the same amount of cargo room as a Yukon XL with its 3rd seat intact. Rides great and comfortable while it can also tow our snowmobile trailer with no issue since it is a heavy vehicle. I'm currently looking for a new vehicle that is mostly the same as the 2015 Acadia but I'm not considering the newest style of Acadia since GM made the width narrower. I love the wide width of the older Acadia and am not willing to compromise.

Can't go wrong with a GMC!

I've owned a GMC Envoy XL for 16 years and it still runs great. Just has a lot of miles. So I purchased the 2015 GMC Acadia Denali which is just a super loaded upgrade to the Envoy. If it is as dependable, I hope to get many years out of it as well.

Awesome til 25k miles

This vehicle was awesome for the first 25k miles or so. I own a 2015 Acadia Denali. At 25k the radio stopped working. It was replaced. 3 times. Then the XM stopped working. Would’ve had to pay to replace it. Then the lining of the doors started bubbling. Then the plastic plate on the seat broke. Twice. Then at 44k the AC stopped working. The car was almost $50k and over the 4 years we’ve owned it we’ve put over $1000 into it for things not covered by warranty but also weren’t our fault. Will not buy another GMC.

Very versatile and comfortable vehicle.

I've owned numerous vehicles over my lifetime. This is by far one of my favorites. Cargo space, comfort, convenience, and towing ability make it an outstanding all-around vehicle.

Very spacious and well-peeforming vehicle.

The Acadia is a versatile car, great for city driving, but also handles well on long drives with 5 people trying to ride comfortably. It's spacious, so with the seats folded, it makes transporting large items a breeze.
