GMC unveiled a new generation of Acadia at the 2016 Detroit Auto Show last month for the 2017 model year, and now, we just learned that you’ll need at least $29,995 to get your hands on one.
Set to go on sale in the US later this spring, the new 2017 GMC Acadia costs around $1,905 less than the one it succeeds. And it succeeds with a handsome, clean new look, inside and out.
Judging from our preliminary look of the Acadia at the Detroit Auto Show, build quality and feel was certainly high on the list of being considered as the new Acadia felt well put together.
Power is provided by a 2.5L naturally-aspirated four-banger with 194hp and 190 lb-ft of twist for the base model, while a more powerful 3.6L naturally-aspirated V6 with 310hp and 271 torques on tap is also available. All are mated to a six-speed automatic with either front- or all-wheel drive.
