We were pleasantly surprised when the latest-generation GMC Acadia came to market for 2017, the slightly smaller size and lighter weight translating into an SUV that is both nimble and well-suited to handle everything from country roads to long highway stretches. It has a rigid platform and a suspension system borrowed from Cadillac's flagship CT6 sedan. But there's also an All-Terrain model suitable for handling moderate off-road duties. Upgrade to the Acadia Denali and you'll get Continuously Variable Ride Control that instantly adjusts individual shocks anywhere from soft to firm, depending on road conditions and driver input. That's a real plus, whether dodging potholes, handling tight corners or hammering the throttle on an open highway. Buyers looking for maximum mileage will opt for the gas-stingy 2.5-liter inline-4, but for better performance and towing, opt for the 3.6-liter V6.

CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE RIDE CONTROL Available on the Acadia Denali, this system uses a magnetic fluid that permits the shocks to instantly shift from soft to hard -- or any setting in-between -- depending on road conditions and driver input. Each corner is adjusted independently in the time it takes to travel two inches at 60 mph. ALL-TERRAIN MODEL Think of it as an Outback that can carry more people. The 2019 GMC Acadia All-Terrain features an Active Clutch all-wheel-drive setup for improved traction both on- and off-road. All-Terrain trims include Hill Descent Control to help keep descent speeds from getting out of control

Although its absolute scale isn’t as large as the first-generation SUV, the 2019 Acadia’s cabin boasts an even more upscale character helped by a modern design that includes soft-touch surfaces, upgraded trim and active-noise cancellation. Despite a wheelbase that now matches the compact 5-passenger GMC Terrain, the Acadia’s architecture still allows for three adult-accommodating rows of seats. The second tier -- 60-40 bench or captain’s chairs -- features an upgraded Smart Slide system for easier access to the 50/50 third row, and both fold flat to expand the 12.8 cubic feet of base cargo space to a quite usable 79.0-cubic-foot maximum.

The latest-generation Acadia lives up to GMC's "Professional Grade" mandate. It's a handsome vehicle with more of a modern, urban look than that of traditional SUVs. That starts with the bold, chromed grille and fascia treatments, as well as wheel arches that are more muscular-looking than those used by its Chevrolet sibling. If you want an even bolder look, both inside and out, consider the Acadia Denali, with its distinctive lighting, 20-inch alloy wheels and a dollop of extra chrome. The All-Terrain package, meanwhile, offers more rugged off-road trim.

Even the base Acadia SL comes with tri-zone auto climate control, a 7.0-inch Color Touch Screen, Keyless Open and Start, 5-year OnStar, Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, 4G Wi-Fi hotspot, five USB ports and the rear-seat reminder safety-alert system to prevent kids and valuables from being left behind. Moving up through the SLE/SLT ranks introduces everything from a power liftgate, 8.0-inch touch screen with IntelliLink and SiriusXM Satellite Radio to leather upholstery, Bose audio and Navigation. The Denali and All-Terrain add distinctive cosmetic/convenience touches plus a full range of new driver assists. New for 2019 on several trim levels: Express Up and Down Windows.

The Acadia’s extras roster relates to its trim grade, with no AWD available on the entry-level SL. But the SLE-1 can be had with that, a V6 and a rear-seat entertainment system while the SLE-2 offers Bose sound, upgraded infotainment and the Dual SkyScape 2-panel panoramic sunroof. It offers a new Driver Alert Package I that brings Side Blind Zone Alert with Lane Change Alert, Rear Cross-Traffic Alert and Rear Park Assist, all of which are found in the Denali’s more comprehensive -- and standard -- Driver Alert Package II that adds Pedestrian Detection and Forward Collision Alert with Low-Speed Automatic Braking.

Two naturally aspirated engines are offered, both backed by a smooth-shifting 6-speed automatic. Sole motivator in the base front-wheel-drive-(FWD) only SL and standard in the SLE-1/SLE-2/SLT-1 models, the new 2.5-liter 4-cylinder makes 194 horsepower and 190 lb-ft of torque. The first GMC engine to feature Start/Stop technology, it earns GM-estimated 21/26-mpg EPA City/Highway marks in FWD Acadia models and 21/25 in all-wheel-drive (AWD) variants. The 3.6-liter V6, optional on SLE and SLT-1 and standard on SLT-2 and Denali, makes a considerably stouter 310 horses and 271 lb-ft of torque but features Active Fuel Management that turns it into a V4 under light loads. It nets GM-estimated 18/25-mpg EPA numbers in both FWD and AWD while raising the Acadia’s max tow rating from 1,000 to a still-modest 4,000 pounds. 2.5-liter inline-4 194 horsepower @ 6,300 rpm 190 lb-ft of torque @ 4,400 rpm EPA city/highway fuel economy: 21/26 mpg (FWD), 21/25 mpg (AWD) 3.6-liter V6 310 horsepower @ 6,600 rpm 271 lb-ft of torque @ 5,000 rpm EPA city/highway fuel economy: 18/25 mpg (FWD), 17/25 mpg (AWD)

You'd have reason to be concerned if GMC kept the same old price for the new GMC Acadia, but when it downsized the SUV it also made a commensurate cut in pricing, with the base SL trim now starting around $ 29,000, Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). That slots the Acadia in under such key competitors as the Ford Explorer, Honda Pilot and Toyota Highlander. More popular trim levels, like the Acadia SLE nudge you up to around $ 33,500, and AWD adds about $ 2,000. The 2019 GMC Acadia Denali starts around $ 45,500, with the AWD package nearing $ 48,000. Load it up and you're approaching $ 52,000. Kelley Blue Book has determined the 2019 GMC Acadia will hold strong 5-year residual values, better than the Ford Explorer but a few percentage points behind the Honda Pilot and Toyota Highlander.

GMC Acadia Overview and History

Despite looking pretty much like an all-new car, redeveloped from the ground up, the 2020 GMC Acadia is not an all-new generation but an extensive mid-cycle facelift of the MY2017 Acadia. The second generation GMC Acadia was unveiled at the 2016 North American Auto Show, being produced in Spring Hill, Tennessee.
Synonymous with high-end trucks and highly customizable SUV's the GMC brand has been around for some 100 years. Standing for a history of take-overs, the name GMC began with the establishment of the “Rapid Motor Vehicle Company” in 1901. Owned by Max Gabrowski, the company built some of the earliest commercial trucks ever built.

Despite its fortunate premature involvement in truck development,  Gabrowski's establishment would not survive on its own.  GM, whose popularity was soaring thanks to Business-whiz Durant bought the company in 1909 setting the base for the General Motors Truck Company that later turned into GMC.

GM's buy-out-smaller-companies skills allowed he giant to encompass another manufacturer the same year, this time the “Reliance Motor Car Company”. The latter was regarded as the missing ingredient and was quickly merged with “Rapid” to form “GMC Truck” in 1911. One year later, Gm would boast its new brand at the New York International Auto Show.

Having garnered the attention needed to start production, GM focused on truck building, having made about 20,000 trucks in 1912. GMC's involvement was barely noticeable with only 372 self-units.

Although GMC was timidly developing within GM boundaries, it did have  spark attention through a series of country cross-overs. In 1916, a GMC truck covered the distance form Seattle to New York on a thirty-day long drive while 14 years later, a second GMC truck made it from NY to San Francisco in 5 days and 30 minutes.

As WWI came to end, GMC would begin a new chapter in the automotive industry. The war had thrown back many companies, allowing survivors such as the large GM to scavenge for prey. In 1925, a Chocago, Illinois based bus manufacturer called Yellow Coach was partially absorbed into General Motors. BY 1943, GM had gained full ownership of Yellow Coach and transformed it into the GM Truck and Coach Division. GMC has also involved in the production of urban and transit buses throughout the 70's and 80's after which production was stopped as a result of being outrun by competition.

Resuming their regular truck-making activity, GMC joined the row of suppliers for the US Army during WWII, having built 600,000 trucks throughout the conflict. Post war times found GMC experimenting with utility vehicles such as Fire trucks and ambulances as well as heavy duty trucks. Despite the reputation GMC had earned, extensions in other market segments did not meet expectations and were dropped. SUV, pick up and light truck production was re-emphasized and has remained unchanged ever since.

GMC has held on its older designs like sister-competitor Chevrolet has, until recently when  the company brushed the dust off its shoulders through the introduction of Acadia, a curvier model highlighting the segregation between GMC and Chevrolet designs. Presently, GMC is enjoying a greater popularity and sales in Canada rather then US where Chevy trucks still hold a grip on the first place.
