GMC made some interesting changes in the past couple of years and now has a more complete lineup of the rugged and impressive vehicles you want to drive. While the names haven’t changed, the size of at least one of the SUV models has changed dramatically to be what you want. The GMC Acadia has lost weight and size to be an SUV that can easily fit into the midsize crossover SUV segment and be a vehicle that’s ideal for the drive you’ll want to make when you head out on the road.
The Acadia lost seven inches from its length and wheelbase, removed four inches from the width and is four inches shorter than the previous version. This means you now have an SUV that’s more agile, more capable, and easier to drive while delivering the fuel mileage you need and the competent driving experience you’re looking for. There’s no longer a bloated feeling to the Acadia and the loss of nearly 700 pounds makes this an SUV that you can enjoy driving when you head out in traffic, knowing this SUV will get up to speed quickly and offer you the drive you desire.
