This is a better Grand Cherokee than the current Grand Cherokee. This is what WK2 buyers (me) are wanting with the styling vs what we got with the new GC. That AT4... I love this!
My wife has the first model year Palisade and loves it but I wouldn't want the same SUV as her so that would be out. The Explorer design has gotten tired to me; needs a major refresh inside and out for me to consider it. Haven't seen much on the new Traverse yet. Like the Telluride for the most part but HATE that new lower front bumper enough to not buy it. Have never really liked the Acadia but this new model is nicer, except the obnoxious oversized chrome grill. So unfortunately Denali would be out which leaves the AT4 as my option. All things considered I would go CX-70. Mazda's interior is just at a different level for these "mainstream" midsize SUV's and I like the blacked out and more sporty styling compared to the other options. I know you said 90 but I don't really need the 3rd row and I don't love chrome trim. Thanks for all the great reviews!
The EPA restriction are why they are going to the 4 cylinder. Many other manufacturers are doing the same. I was thinking the same, too big for a 4. But I went and drove it and eventually purchased one. In the beginning it seemed like it needed some transmission updating. But after about 1000 miles it learns how the driver drives and starts shifting smoother and less revving from the engine. Now, I can’t even tell. It drives great. Nice pick up. Very smooth and comfortable. I traded a ‘21 Buick Enclave with the old 6 cylinder and o can’t tell the difference.
Your vids are always top notch with good production and quality and I love em! Just wondering if you can share your opinion/thoughts regarding the cars you review as a whole at the end of each video, stuff like how well you think of it, longevity of engine, comparison to other cars etc.. that would be cool!
The 4 cylinder turbo is what most manufacturers like Toyota are moving to due to EPA restrictions. Look up the mpg, very impressive and this engine has more power than the 6 cylinder. More power, better gas mileage, more tech, longer, wider and taller. The base model is $45k and has almost all the same features as the $60k Denali.
GM finally made the Acadia the same size as it should have already been, The Enclave and Traverse are well built vehicles and even though the Acadia is more GM redundancy it's a nice option to have for loyal GM customers who may want more variations of the Traverse and they certainly do and if Cadillac would do the same they'll have another more luxuriant variant. The 4 cylinder is a decent powertrain but should have a V6 option as well. For me the Enclave is the best vehicle in this segment for the money.
With Cadillac going Electric in North America with the VISTIQ which replaces the XT6, the Buick Enclave sorta fills that void in the ICE portfolio. GMC Acadia Denali is also a significant step up from the premium feeling Chevy Traverse. It’s true, *gm* customers aren’t necessarily the cheap crowd and demand more options.
What are those!!? Cool jeans??😂 Great review also 😅 Great power for a 2.5 Turbo will really help at high altitude. But only one auto up/down window is laughable at this price. Still considering MDX or Pilot Elite…
Hey love your reviews but I have a request - can you do a RS Traverse vs a Denali Acadia pointing out differences etc., what more does the Acadia offer for about a $6000 higher price tag?
Considering all the models coming in, from interior perspective, the best practical layout that I have seen is in the new Santa Fe,,hands down the best
Buyer beware! The 3rd row seat headrests are electric on the Denali trim and are failing on many vehicles! Mine came with both non functioning, seats in rear won’t fold down without hitting the 2nd row. One seat motor came broken too. Dealer can not replace or repair because parts are unavailable. I was not allowed to return car, they said it’s a warranty issue. Now I’m stuck. Wait to purchase these until reengineered.
Nicer than expected, however still missing a lot of features that in other vehicles are standard like auto windows, adjustable cup holders, paddle shifters for volume really ?? and no power on center console. Details is what makes a car from good to outstanding. And BTW no apple car play.
Agreed!! They got things right as far a a new design but all the lil details suck! No ambient lighting, head lights in the screen, heated seats in the screen and also the simple stuff no sun shade in rear seating..
It's the same technology that BMW uses in their engines , I have to start my own you tube channel I spend 15 hrs a day researching automotive companies and other technology along with traveling meeting up with engineers and Mary barra, and engine engineers. Boy this new c8 is going to be very nice sound of a c8 with the same fuel economy as an toy tota 2.4 l WOW !!!!!😮😊🎉
Pricing is on the screen @ 1:35 | We did film a segment on pricing but the numbers we had we're different from what the website was saying. Sorry it wasn't super clear!
@@G-Rated The durabality and Diesel parts helps but maybe I'll just get the full size with V8 and keep for 20 years. Thanks for the comments. Wish I could order a brand new 1968 LTD!!!
There is a good reason why Americans prefer big non-turbo engines. Because they can last due to the type of driving (long distances) in the country. Now put 4 cyl turbo on a big SUV and after several years there will be so many blown engines or turbos that would cause mass bankruptcy on car dealers and even manufacturers . RIP
This is the BEST looking Acadia of all time. I have the following suggestions for GMC Leadership to attract even more consumers. Replace the 2.5 Turbo with the 2.7 Turbo found in the GMC Canyon and Chevy Colorado pickup trucks. This will reduce costs due to the communization of powertrains for these four models, Acadia, Traverse, Canyon, and Colorado! Replace the second row Captain seats with a 40/20/40 second row bench seating. Replace the standard 20 inch wheels with 18 inch wheels on the Elevation Trim for better ride comfort. Delete Paddle Shifters on all trims -unnecessary on this type of vehicle. Add second row privacy shades for Babies and sleepy passengers. I believe these suggestions especially the larger engine and second row bench seating will attract more buyers IMHO. This would definitely be my next purchase in 2025 with these suggested improvements.
I think you do your viewers a disservice .this suv is an accident waiting to happen.i just got it two days ago and while I find the ride fantastic ,I also find the driving experience very bad and I have millions of whiles driving under my belt.i love my heated seats so on this suv you have to hit the seat emblem on the flat screen then another one pops up in the middle of the screen ,so you have to take your eyes off the road to find it then if you want to bring the heat back up to the max you have to hit it 4 more times and since its not a switch just a touch screen you have to look at that screen to keep hitting it(veryyyy bad design ,un safe)also I found when the sun comes in just right you can find these areas on the screen because you cant see anything on the screen.so as of the writing I would not buy this again.i also have a 2023 Sierra Denali .and that is totally different ,you would think if you buy a Denali you would get the same on each product you buy ,but you dont
@@hanktarris5735 I purchased a 1988 Chevy Barretta in September 1987. It was in the dealership getting serviced for everything imaginable for 33 days in the first 6 months of service. The attitude of GM during arbitration was too bad, and after being offered a buyback of 2/3rds the price I paid I kept it. I said in April of 1998, I would never purchase GM again. It has been twelve (12) cars since then.
I sat in the Acadia yesterday for the first time , I love this car so much; I NOW YOU DROP A VIDEO IT !!
WOOOT!!
한국에 빨리 들어왔으면 좋겠습니다
기대됩니다

Great review. The blank buttons are for customizable hot keys. Drag and drop.
Ahhhh that makes so much more sense. Thanks for pointing that out.
Would you buy this or the Traverse, CX-90, Telluride, Explorer or Palisade??

Nice video keep up the good work
Acadia simply because of fog lights
Volkswagen Atlas?
I seen a traverse all murdered out in black just the other day and was like damn that's nice it was my first time seeing the new ones on the streets
Please more of the Acadia👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

I would really appreciate a full review as you get the acadia for a week test. You guys do so a great job, keep doing it!
Dang this video is so cinematic! Especially that I know how crazy it was to find a spot to film!

I would take the CX-90, but GM has come a long way with this product.
The Acadia has more technology, and rides like a premium vehicle whereas the CX90 rides hard with heavy steering.
And third row vents are very very important where i live
GMC Yukon also has super cruise
Mike meant you can get supercruise on every trim. Usually you can’t get it in a lower trim.
Love these guys 🤙🏻❤️
lol love the kid jumping in

@@mojorisin7371 But what do we know about its reliability?
Bro, 😂 wonderful review helpful very helpful from a true Canadian 😂
I can’t do 4 cylinders in a family hauler.
I love your reviews❤
Is there any diesel suv?
Do you remember if the GMC has a brake auto hold feature?
What are those!!? Cool jeans??😂 Great review also 😅 Great power for a 2.5 Turbo will really help at high altitude. But only one auto up/down window is laughable at this price. Still considering MDX or Pilot Elite…
When Are You Review The All New Traverse
As soon as we can get it on the Canadian Press Fleet. Not available yet!
wondering why no autohold feature for traverse and acadia while buick enclave having that
What is autohold ?
Better design than the Toyota Grand highlander and Telluride for sure.
Man, high strung motors like these gonna be a nightmare down the road when the warranty is done.
@@kpkp2655 why so?

10% off msrp for the AT4 would be pretty enticing 🤔

Good looking vehicle downside its have a 4 turbo
Not with a 4 cyl turbo. Turbo say the engine is too small so GM is pressuring the engine to give it mor power. This is a 6000 pound vehicle.
4800 lb curb weight. Plenty of power. 0 to 60 in 6.5 to 6.8 sec. On par with the 5.3l yukon. I have one. Had a 5.3 sierra. Its almost as fast.
GMC should have made mid size SUVs and full size SUVs for India I am sure they will earn more profit
You already have Tata and MG
Hey off topic- but where did you get your pants? They look very cool! Thanks !

Is it v6 or v8?
4 cylinder
Did you mention price? Don't know if i missed that.

@@ACCELER8TV no no, chill. All good. Thank you for pointing it out.
It's wierd you didn't review any bentley 😮
❤600❤
Nice looking, great interior, lotsa room. Too bad it has a 4 cylinder and FWD.
It has a 4 cylinder with diesel parts and it’s turbocharged. It’s more durable & stronger than the 6 cylinder it replaced. AWD is also available.

So it can find its way back to the service center without any help hahaha

Simply too big for a 4 banger. Too much money for a 4 banger,just can’t justify the price and getting 4

They lost me at 4 cylinder...
America’s gotta vote the right people in next time so we can get those tiny suckers out of our cars…
What do you drive?
If it had a HEV version I'd love it. GM is behind with hybrids
That’s why they have GMC Yukon for😂😂
Agreed
Nothing wrong with 4 cylinder cars but, not for this kind of vehicle!

I don’t buy GM so CX90, Explorer and Palisade in that order.

Lol. And you came here just to say that? Weird.
You shouldn't even have clicked on the video then
Jeez… the engine seems loud when pushed. No thanks. Way overpriced too
The sluggish acceleration and the engine sound ruin the premium experience of this car.
Very lazy car and nothing to write home about.
