When climbing into your new Acadia, be prepared to be impressed! The 2020 GMC Acadia has something for the whole family to enjoy! First and foremost, easily access the third row of seating by using the Smart Slide second row. No more heavy sighs when thinking about how to get your kids loaded into the non-accessible third row seating.
Sick of yelling at each other while you are trying to communicate over the sound of the moving vehicle? Let the Acadia handle that problem for you as well! Its Adaptive Ride Control system that adjusts damping forces every 2 milliseconds, will enable you to actually start enjoying a quiet ride again.
No matter the length of time you spend in the car on your way to work, running errands, or picking up children, you can still enjoy the beauty surrounding you with the available Dual SkyScape® 2-panel power Sunroof. Feel the sun on your face or hear the pleasant sound of rainfall, all while accomplishing your to-do list.
While you are trying to enjoy your drive, sitting in your comfortable front bucket seats, and feeling the sun on your face through the SkyScape® Sunroof, the last thing you want to be worried about is screaming children. The Acadia has got your back! The available Rear Seat Infotainment System with DVD Player will allow the dual headrest with 8” diagonal screens to do the entertaining for you. Just plug in the set of wireless headphones and let the kids sit back and enjoy, while you do the same! Also, utilize the app that enables you to have parental control over the system and their entertainment.

The trims with the 2.5L 4-cylinder engines get an EPA-estimated 21 mpg City / 27 mpg Highway. And the top trim Denali gets an EPA-estimated 19 mpg City / 27 mpg Highway.
Safety
Regardless of who you choose to chauffeur around in your new Acadia, safety remains a top priority. Which is why GMC has made it so that all Acadia versions come standard with an array of driver alerts. The Side Blind Zone Alert, Lane Change Alert, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, and Rear Park Assist, are crucial in helping the driver stay alerted to things they may not be aware of and may affect the safety of the vehicle and its passengers.
Along with all the standard safety features, there are also quite a few additional available options as well. The 6” diagonal color Head-Up Display enables the focus of the driver to never leave the front windshield while still accessing crucial driving information such as the speed of the vehicle and navigation. Another truly incredible feature that is available, is the High Definition Surround Vision. This astounding technology is any parents dream camera, allowing you to have a complete “bird’s eye” view of the scene around your Acadia, ensuring a safe parking and low-speed maneuvering ability.
