Expert Reviews

Expert reviews: 

Pros
Refined ride quality makes it comfortable in any kind of driving situation
Excellent performance from the optional V6 engine
Simple cabin layout means everything is usable at a glance
Modern onboard technology keeps you connected

Cons
Even the priciest trim levels don't feel very luxurious
Third-row seats are now far less accommodating than in previous Acadia

Pros
Denali offers real luxury
Improved handling
Not as thirsty
Still has room for seven
Loads of available active safety features

Cons
New 4-cylinder struggles
Not as much cargo space
Denali is luxury, but is GMC?
All Terrain isn't as much of an off-roader as the name suggests
