Shoppers hoping to take home a luxurious 3-row SUV with an American badge might as well stop their search: The 2017 GMC Acadia is the car for you. A new 4-cylinder engine, an upgraded V6, and a new, lighter platform put the Acadia ahead of the competition at Buick and Lincoln. Plus, with pricing closer to a Honda Pilot than an Acura MDX, you can enjoy the upscale brand for less than you’d pay for other premium marques.

The new 2.5-liter inline 4-cylinder engine’s 193 horsepower and 188 lb-ft of torque can be sent to either the front or all four wheels in every trim but the base SL, which is exclusively front-wheel drive (FWD), and the top-tier Denali trims, which are only available with GMC’s revised 3.6-liter V6. Whether you opt for the V6 and it’s 310 hp and 271 lb-ft or the smaller 4-cylinder, power will be managed by a 6-speed automatic.

A new All Terrain package employs GMC’s Active Twin Clutch all-wheel-drive system, and a Tow Vision Trailering system is available for folks needing to haul their boat to the marina. 

Inside, seating for either 5 or 7 passengers is available, with cargo volume behind the 3rd row coming in at 12.8 cubic feet. That expands to 41.7 with the 3rd row folded, and 79.0 feet with both rear rows down. 

If you have passengers in the rear seats, they’ll enjoy access to USB charging ports from every row, and GMC has also integrated Apple CarPlay and Android Auto into its Intellilink infotainment system.

Starting prices ranges from $29,070 in the base SL trim, all the way up to $46,920 for the all-wheel-drive equipped Denali trim. For more information, see the 2017 GMC Acadia’s full review on CarGurus:  https://cargur.us/dTX11
