The 2023 GMC Acadia is a powerful midsize SUV that delivers a comfortable ride and lots of comfort-enhancing amenities. For families in Ohio seeking more than a basic daily driver who also want a vehicle that has all the bells and whistles, the GMC Acadia is an excellent choice. Order yours today at Steve Austin’s Auto Group in Bellefontaine to get the features you want.
Under the hood, the GMC Acadia uses either a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine rated at 228 horsepower (standard on the SLE and SLT) or a 3.6-liter V6 rated at 310 horsepower (standard on the AT4 and Denali). Both engines are mated to a nine-speed automatic transmission.
Regardless of its powertrain, the Acadia is easygoing with strong, confident acceleration and an impressive ability to ride over bumps without jostling you around. With the V6 engine, the SUV can tow up to 4,000 pounds, which is enough for a small trailer or pop-up camper. Every model also gets a Traction Select System with up to five different driving modes, helping you find the right performance in varying conditions. For off-road driving, the AT4 is the most suitable model, as it comes standard with Active Torque Control AWD to help you find grip on the road during Ohio’s messy winters.
The 2023 GMC Acadia is generously roomy for passengers and cargo. It can seat six or seven people depending on configuration, and it uses Smart Slide second-row seats that make accessing the back row a breeze. The third row can also be split 50/50 to make more room for cargo while still accommodating passengers or folded completely flat to increase cargo space. With all the seats down, you’ll enjoy increased space up to 79 cubic feet, including a large pass-through under-console storage area. Accessing that space is easy too, thanks to the hands-free power liftgate that you can pop open remotely.
The Acadia’s design is a masterclass in blending form and function. The LED headlights and C-shaped tail lamps not only stand out for their good looks but also provide excellent lighting and visibility. The power-adjustable mirrors go beyond their usual job by offering integrated LED turn signals as well as heating and power-folding capability.
Inside, comfort is a given. Three-zone automatic climate control is standard, and even the base model comes with soft-touch surfaces and real aluminum trim on the doors and dashboard. Leather appointments are offered on the SLT trim, while the top Denali model gets burnished aluminum trim, French seam stitching, and real ash wood accents to complete an impressively luxurious picture.
The 2023 Acadia comes standard with an 8-inch central touch-screen infotainment system compatible with wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ smartphone connectivity. A variety of high-tech features are on offer across the lineup, from built-in navigation and an eight-speaker BOSE® sound system to a wireless charging pad and customizable digital instrument panel. The Acadia Denali has the lion’s share of the cool tech features, including a 6-inch Head-Up Display that projects critical driving information onto the windshield glass.
All GMC Acadia models are equipped with the advanced GMC Pro Safety Plus driver-assistance suite. It includes a wide variety of driver-assistance systems including automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, front and rear parking sensors, lane-keeping assistance, automatic high beams, blind spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert, and lane change alert with side blind zone alert. Every Acadia also gets standard Teen Driver technology. If you opt for the Technology package, you also get a 360-degree camera system, adaptive cruise control, and rearview digital camera mirror.
