The 2021 GMC Acadia has an upscale modern cabin featuring soft-touch surfaces, upgraded trim, active-noise cancellation, and five USB ports. What’s more, the Acadia’s excellent infotainment system now includes standard wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto. Although it’s not as large as the original model, the 2021 Acadia is roomy enough for three rows of adult-accommodating seats. The second row — 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.1

MotorTrend 2021 Acadia Review

For a three-row SUV, the GMC Acadia drives better than you would expect. It’s not a big, cumbersome beast on the road. Credit the Acadia’s agile handling for its ability to shrink around you and drive similarly to a smaller vehicle. You don’t sacrifice comfort either because the ride quality is compliant. GMC’s 3.6-liter V-6 provides good power, allowing the Acadia to accelerate smoothly. The nine-speed automatic is tuned well in this application, firing off smooth gear changes and quick downshifts when you ask for more power.2

Autotrader 2021 Acadia Review

Although it’s a comfortable family hauler, the latest GMC Acadia feels sharp and maneuverable. Outward vision is great, and the muscular V6 impresses with its smooth delivery of horsepower and torque. The entry-level 4-cylinder engine doesn’t have the V6’s grunt, but it gets the job done. If you plan on using the Acadia for family trips to the mountains, opt for the 2.0-liter turbo or the V6.3
