The 2014 GMC Acadia is part of the model's first generation, offering a spacious and comfortable interior for up to eight passengers. It's powered by a 3.6-liter V6 that makes 288 horsepower, paired with a six-speed automatic transmission. Front-wheel drive comes standard, while all-wheel drive is optional. Buyers can choose from SLE, SLT, and Denali trims, each providing an upscale look and feel. Key safety features include available blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and forward collision warning. An infotainment system with a 6.5-inch touchscreen, satellite radio, and optional navigation bring modern comforts to the Acadia. It was acknowledged for its mix of affordability, versatility, and premium amenities, a mix not often found in other midsize SUVs.
