HISTORY OF THE GMC ACADIA

2023 GMC Acadia

2023 GMC Acadia

GMC first introduced the Acadia to the United States in 2006 as a 2007 model-year vehicle. The original Acadia was a large SUV meant to compete with other large SUVs throughout the mid-2000s and into the late 2010s. This ended with the second generation of the Acadia, which GMC debuted in 2017. This generation of Acadia, which includes the 2023, decreased the size of the Acadia to a mid-size SUV to compete with other mid-size crossover vehicles on the market. As part of the decrease in size, GMC made several other changes to the vehicle.

TRIM LEVEL EXTERIORS

The GMC Acadia comes in four different trim levels. These are the 2023 Acadia SLE, the SLT, the AT4, and the Denali. Each of these can change some of the available features and colors of the vehicle. All the trim levels come in seven colors including Summit White, Sterling Metallic, Volcanic Red Tintcoat, Ebony Twilight Metallic, White Frost Tricoat, Ultra Blue Metallic, and Light Stone Metallic.

When you get the GMC Acadia at the AT4 trim level, some exterior differences start to become apparent. First, it comes with 17-inch gloss-black wheels and all-terrain tires to make travel on or off the roads easier. This trim level also has black-capped exterior mirrors, a black chrome front grille, and gloss-black roof rails. Each of these combines to make the vehicle stand out from the lower trim levels.

At the peak of the trim levels stands the Denali. The Denali exterior comes with the chrome Denali front grille, 20-inch ultra-bright machined aluminum wheels, and the exclusive Denali badging. Additionally, this trim level comes with a chrome accent on the door handles and bodyside mounting, and a special black finish for the Denali Black Diamond edition of this trim level.

SEATING

If you’re looking for a vehicle with plenty of space for passengers, then the 2023 GMC Acadia is an excellent option. By base, the vehicle comes with seats for six people, with two seats across three rows. When you buy the vehicle new, you can also choose an optional seven-seat setup to fit one more passenger safely within the vehicle.

Even if your 2023 Acadia is full of passengers, there’s plenty of space. Separated by head, leg, shoulder, and hip space respectively, the vehicle has 40 in., 41 in., 59.4 in, and 55.7 in. of space in the front row of seats. Across the second row, the vehicle has 39.6 in., 39.7 in., 58.7 in., and 53.3 in. of space, while the third row has 37.2 in., 29.7 in., 54.3 in., and 42.9 in. for passengers to sit comfortably within the vehicle. 

CARGO

The GMC Acadia comes with plenty of cargo space so you can haul large loads wherever you need to go. Behind the front seats, it packs a massive 79 cubic feet of space across all three trim levels. Behind the second row, the vehicle has 41.7 cubic feet of cargo space and 12.8 cubic feet of cargo space behind the third row of seats.

ENTERTAINMENT AND COMFORT

The 2023 GMC Acadia comes with plenty of entertainment features that keep you and your passengers excited every time you enter the vehicle. First, the SLE trim level comes with an 8-inch GMC infotainment system, which controls the trim level’s six-speaker audio system. At the other trim levels, the same panel also controls the real-time navigation system, which can provide useful information about traffic, speed limits, and accidents that are ahead of you or along your route and is connected to an eight-speaker Bose premium sound system to provide plenty of infotainment optics to you and your passengers.

All trim levels of the vehicle also come with active noise cancelation to limit road noise inside the cabin, helping you hear and use your infotainment system to maximum effect. Other entertainment and comfort features include an optional 120-volt outlet, cupholders, interior lighting, and features like keyless open and start.

SAFETY FEATURES

The safety features inside and outside the 2023 GMC Acadia are extensive. First, the vehicle comes with a standard lane change alert system and blind spot monitoring to alert you to objects and vehicles where you can’t see. It also has a lane-keeping assist, a high-definition rear vision camera, and a front pedestrian braking system to keep you and pedestrians safe. Other features include a forward collision alert system, a following distance indicator, and an engine air filtration monitor.

The air-bag system in the GMC Acadia can protect the head, knees, shoulder, and neck of the driver with air bags in critical locations to protect you and your passengers in the event of a collision. Along the roof of the vehicle are head-curtain air bags for all outboard passenger seating positions to protect everyone from injuries to the head if a collision occurs. For extra child protection, the vehicle also comes with a LATCH system for baby carriers and car seats.
