I have test driven a lot of 2020 SUVs and I think by far the acadia is one of the best, especially the drive (very smooth). It's unfortunate it really isn't on anyone's radar.

@davis6123 5 лет назад

Awesome review guys! I love all the changes GMC has made, one of my favorite changes is the additional cupholders for the 2nd row seats, another is the full LED headlights. Keep it up guys. Your channel, and Saabkyle04 are my heroes in the automotive world. From 2001 to 2010, and again from 2012 to late 2017, my worked at Route 18 Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram in East Brunswick, New Jersey. Starting in fall 2017 however, my dad got an even better job at Miller Buick GMC in Woodbridge, New Jersey, which is why he was able to get an employee discount on a 2018 GMC Acadia Denali. We got the car sometime in June 2018 to replace the 2007 Mercedes-Benz S550 4MATIC that we owned previously. The reason we sold the S550 is because its engine started failing, and the repairs were way beyond our normal budget. With that said, I'm still really impressed with our GMC Acadia and I sure hope to get the refreshed model after our 3 year lease ends in 2021.

@CarConfections 5 лет назад

Thanks! Nice to head from someone with first hand experience living with the Acadia

@amininshassi6370 5 лет назад

@@CarConfections I think you meant to say "hear from someone." Anyways, you're absolutely right, my experience with the Acadia was wonderful, love the dual sunroofs. No mechanical problems, just the usual maintenance stuff. I had to buy an aftermarket floor console with cupholders though because the cupholders on the rear door panels aren't ideal for Dukin Donuts coffee or any drink other than a bottle of water of course.

@2W3X4YZ5 5 лет назад

Its nice. I can’t get my head around that shifter. Why can’t they just go ahead and put the shift buttons on the steering wheel? After all, it’s been done before: the 1958 Edsel. I think when you get passengers who love to push buttons (“Lets see what this does!”), the position of the shift buttons might cause issues. Unless GM intended to let the front passenger do the manual shifting, I see no reason for this design. Also don’t care for the steering wheel-looks like it came out of a Buick parts bin. Lower trim level prices seem competitive, and look like good value for money. Honestly, I think I would buy the Telluride or Palisade before the Acadia-never thought I would say or type that. Thanks for another great review.

The manual opening of the sunroof?????? What genius decided that? GM's engineers are getting worse and worse. GM is overall disappointing me! But lets be real, $55k is overpriced. I have a XT5, and it even is disappointing.

Mixed emotions on push button drive modes, Park,Neutral, Drive. It does open up additional space. I like infotainment screens build-in. I don’t like it when the infotainment screens stick out high on dash. The dash looks simple and uncluttered. I really like the simplicity of knobs, etc. in. My in my opinion this could be a winner.

@@galaman12001 I guess you have a good point. The 8 inch screen seems to modest, not only compared to the RAM and the 2021 Ford F-F150 with their massive 12 inch screens, but also the Kia Telluride and Hyumdai Palisade with 10.25 inch screens. I still wouldn't call the Acadia's interior outdated, especially with the infotainment software update for 2020, it's just conservative, at least 9n terms of design.
