Classy and Dependable

I LOVE the headlights and body style of my ALL-WHEEL DRIVE SUV, which has plenty of leg room space with 3rd row seats that lay down to make your trunk space larger. I have good quality leather seats and the touch screen includes FREE XM Radio, hands free phone with downloadable songs, contacts list, USB connection and much more!

Very pleased with the vehicle

We needed a vehicle that our sons, both 6'4" & husband 6'5" could fit in comfortably, especially on long trips. I also wanted some added features & this vehicle had everything we were looking for. We are all extremely happy! Thank You!

GMC Acadia Denali

Have only had the car a week but, so far, one of the most comfortable and best handling vehicle I've owned. Reliability and mechanics remain to be seen.

Most Disappointing purchase of a lifetime

Other than the interior room and features this vehicle was terrible. The transmission blew at 2500 miles and the performance was horrible. We replaced the drive shaft at 15000 miles and the car never drove smooth. After buying this family vehicle new with 7 miles on it there was a vibration in between 45-60 mph and a loud humming noise on the highway. We took it to the dealer multiple times to try to have it fixed and they could not find a solution. With 65000 miles the stability control and traction control light started illuminating from time to time. I have owed multiple SUV over the years and this is by far the worst 40K investment I have ever made. I'm sure every manufacturer has lemons but I would not recommend the GMC Acadia to anyone after this experience.

I love my new vehicle!

Me and the children love this GMC. I drove an hour to get this Denali package and it was definitely worth it. We only own Chevy and GMC trucks, my husband only buys Chevy an GMC for his business also. It drives and feels like a Cadillac inside and out for half the price.

Riding high like the big boys now!!!

Plenty of room for me and my fast growing family. Got all the updated bells and whistles, such as OnStar, Bluetooth, Back up camera, keyless entry, remote start, and much much more!!!

Very nice vehicle

This is the second Acadia we’ve had. We like the size and comfort of this vehicle. This one is the Denali model and is equipped with everything you could want on a vehicle.

Very comfortable but MPG is terrible.

Very comfortable. Many usb, 12v receptacles. Very large storage space. Nice being a bit higher than other vehicles. Rear window tint is great for night driving. But only 14.0 MPG.. Mileage is way worse than expected.
