The new 2017 GMC Acadia
is smaller and lighter than its predecessor, and it will come with a
slightly lower base price, too. The new crossover starts at $29,995 with
destination in its base SL trim level with front-wheel drive, $1,905
cheaper than the 2016 Acadia’s base price.
Compared to the previous model, the 2017 GMC Acadia
has more technologies and features, including an updated infotainment
system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, as well as a rear-seat alert
designed to warn parents if they forget a child in the back seat. The
car now comes standard with a 2.5-liter inline-four engine good for 194
hp, which is estimated to return up to 22/28 mpg (city/highway) with
front-wheel drive, thanks in part to a standard stop-start feature; the
old Acadia managed only 17/24 mpg with its old standard V-6 engine and
front-wheel drive. A 3.6-liter V-6 with 310 hp is optional on the new
model, allowing the Acadia to tow up to 4,000 lb. Both engines mate to a
six-speed automatic transmission.
Moving up to the 2017 GMC Acadia SLE costs
$33,375 for a front-wheel-drive mode and $35,375 for all-wheel drive.
The SLT costs $39,275 and $42,375, respectively, while the fully loaded
Denali is $45,845 with front-wheel drive and $47,845 with all-wheel
drive. Denali models offer luxury features like Continuously Variable
Ride Control suspension, HID headlights, chrome exterior trim, unique
wheels, and aluminum interior trim.
The 2017
GMC Acadia also offers a more off-road-like model called the All
Terrain, which comes only with all-wheel drive for $40,040. It features a
unique twin-clutch all-wheel-drive system, a five-passenger interior,
unique wheels, and black exterior trim.
Acadia
buyers can pick between five-, six-, or seven-seat configurations, and
new active-safety options include forward-collision warning with
automatic braking, automatic high-beam headlights, a 360-degree camera,
and the aforementioned Safety Seat Alert. They join features that were
already offered on the old Acadia, like lane-keep assist, blind-spot
warnings, and parking sensors.
The 2017 GMC Acadia is on sale this spring.
