Acadia at a glance
Acadia’s body-frame integral structure enables lower entry/exit height for passengers. Despite the vehicle’s SUV-like front-end height, the front door step-in height is only 480 mm; the rear door step-in height is 503 mm. Entry to the second- and third-row seats is easy with very wide rear doors and GM’s exclusive Smart Slide second-row seat feature.
All models are powered by a 3.6L V-6 VVT engine that uses gasoline direct injection technology to optimize performance and fuel economy. The engine is paired with Acadia’s fuel-saving six-speed automatic transmission to help give FWD models an EPA-estimated 9.8 L / 100 km on the highway. The Acadia also is capable of towing up to 2364 kg.
Acadia’s interior exudes refinement and attention to detail, with many thoughtful features designed into a finely crafted environment. A car-like “low and away” instrument panel enhances the feeling of openness in the front-row seats and provides a commanding outward view. The instrument panel and other interior elements feature high-quality, low-gloss materials and tight gap tolerances.
Features that reinforce Acadia’s refinement and complement passenger comfort include:
- Heated outside mirrors that quickly de-fog or de-ice for improved visibility
- A power liftgate that opens and closes with the key fob, a button just inside the liftgate or from the front seat, with a switch in the center console
- Extended-range remote vehicle start
- SkyScape dual sunroof, featuring a larger, power-operated tilt-and-slide sunroof and rear skylight, which combine to provide an airy, open driving experience
- Head-up display that projects instrument readouts and other features onto the windshield for easy, eyes-on-the-road reference
- A DVD entertainment system that offers rear-seat passengers a multimedia experience with a flip-down DVD screen, infrared headphones and individual controls
- A Bose 5.1 Surround Sound audio system with optimally located speakers that provide big, clear and crisp sound throughout the vehicle
- A DVD touch-screen navigation system that provides locations, directions and driving instructions via a large, easy-to-view LCD screen
- Heated/cooled seats.
