Built on GM's Lambda platform which also underpins the Buick Enclave, Saturn Outlook (before the brand was terminated) and, most recently, the Chevrolet Traverse, the GMC Acadia is a full-size crossover SUV that replaced the General's minivans, Safari van and Envoy XL SUV.

Four trim levels exist, and all are powered by a 3.6-liter V6 with Variable Valve Timing (VVT)that makes 288 horsepower at 6,600 rpm and 270 lb-ft at 3,200 rpm and shifts through a six-speed automatic transmission. Front wheel-drive is standard, while all-wheel-drive is optional for those seeking extra foul-weather traction. With the former, the EPA estimates the Acadia will return 17 miles to the gallon in the city, while 24 miles will be covered for every gallon of gasoline burned on the highway. The all-wheel-drive models return 16 / 22 mpg respective numbers.

The base trim level is known as the SL, and features XM Radio with 3-month trial, AM/FM stereo with MP3-compatible CD player, frontal and side-impact air bags for driver and front passenger, head curtain side-impact air bags for all rows in outboard seating positions, 8-passenger seating with 60/40 split folding second-row, OnStar with six months of the Directions and Connections Plan, StabiliTrak with traction control, Remote Keyless Entry, Power windows with driver Express-down, double-dual exhaust with chrome tips, theft-deterrent system with PASS-Key, tire Pressure Monitoring System and 18-inch painted aluminum wheels.

The SLE trim has all the standard features of the SL, with the addition of Bluetooth for Phone, Remote vehicle start, Power rear liftgate, Ultrasonic Rear Parking Assist, leather-wrapped steering wheel with audio controls, halogen fog lamps, rearview auto-dimming mirror, available audio system with rear seat DVD entertainment, Body color bodyside molding, Rearview camera, 8-way driver power seat and a 2-way front passenger power seat.

The next trim up the ladder, the SLT1, adds to or replaces the SLE's features with 7-passenger seating thanks to bucket seats in the second row, body-color, foldaway, power adjustable, heated outside rearview mirrors with integrated turn signals, bright belt-line molding, AM/FM stereo with MP3-compatible in-dash six-disc CD player and Bose premium 10-speaker system with subwoofer, driver information center, heated and power adjustable front seats, tri-zone automatic climate control and a universal home remote, as the major standard features.

The range-topping SLT2 trim throws in a cargo package (cargo shade and cargo net), a convenience package (remote start and Ultrasonic Rear Parking Assist), which are both options on the lesser two trims, driver and passenger express up and down power windows, 3-prong household- style, 115-volt power outlet, power rear liftgate, washer nozzles and heated windshield, as well as power adjustable and folding, heated outside rearview mirrors with integrated mirrors with driver's side auto-dimming and memory.

The Acadia offers various options and packages, such as a rear-seat entertainment system, 19-inch ultrabright aluminum wheels, heads-up display, the aforementioned Convenience package, touchscreen navigation radio and power liftgate, among less substantial ones. Heck, even heated windshield washer fluid can be requested.

Key Competitors
The Acadia's main rivals include the Dodge Durango, Honda Pilot and Hyundai Veracruz, while similarly commodious yet less truck-like models like the Ford Flex and Toyota Venza also merit consideration.
