About the GMC Acadia
The second-generation GMC Acadia represented a significant shift for the nameplate, shedding over 300kg and 7 inches in length to transition from a full-size to a mid-size SUV. This 2.5-litre variant serves as the entry-level powertrain, prioritising fuel economy with stop-start technology over the raw towing capacity of its V6 sibling. Built on the C1XX platform shared with the Cadillac XT5, it offers a more car-like driving experience and improved manoeuvrability in urban environments. While smaller than its predecessor, it retains a functional three-row layout, making it a practical choice for families who don't require maximum bulk.

GMC Acadia fun facts
- The 2017 redesign was so much smaller that GMC briefly sold the old version alongside it as the 'Acadia Limited'.
- This generation of Acadia was also sold in Australia and New Zealand as the Holden Acadia between 2018 and 2020.
- The 2.5-litre engine features active noise cancellation to help mask the sounds of the four-cylinder powertrain in the cabin.
