Front- and all-wheel-drive can be had with either engine. Competitors include the Ford Edge, Honda Pilot and Mazda CX-9.

Should I Buy the 2023 GMC Acadia?
If you have a big family and are looking for a quiet, comfortable driving experience from your SUV, the Acadia could be a good choice for you. Its absorbent ride bodes well for long trips, even if limited cargo capacity behind the third row means some luggage may have to be stored on the roof. The third row is also snug.
