Whether you’re transporting a large family or hauling big heavy loads, big jobs need big cars to get the job done. Mid-size SUVs have become the most popular choice for drivers who need to accomplish both tasks simultaneously, thanks to their larger size and powerful engines. GMC provides just what our customers need here at Hansen Motors of Brigham City with the GMC Acadia.
The Acadia is a midsize SUV that features three rows, allowing it to carry six or seven passengers. The second and third rows can also be flipped down to provide maximum cargo space, making it perfect for drivers who also need to transport larger loads.
Powertrain Performance
The base SLE model of the Acadia comes standard with a 2.0-liter turbo four-cylinder engine that produces 228 horsepower. You can also upgrade your engine on all models to the more powerful 3.6-liter naturally aspirated V-6 engine. On all models, both engines are paired with nine-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive with an available upgrade to all-wheel drive.
The four-cylinder engine has 22/29 mpg city/highway in front-wheel-drive configuration and 22/27 mpg city/highway in all-wheel-drive configuration. The V-6 engine has a rating of 19/27 mpg city/highway with front-wheel drive and 19/26 mpg with all-wheel drive.
