2014 GMC Acadia

With its reputation for comfort, performance and efficiency, GMC Acadia has remained a popular choice since it was in 2007.

In 2014, the Acadia focuses on safety with the addition of Forward Collision Alert and Lane Departure Warning, crash-avoidance systems that use a camera and sensors to help detect when the driver is getting too close to a vehicle ahead, or when the vehicle enters another lane without the use of a turn signal. The systems alert the driver with visual cues on the dashboard, as well as audible signals. They complement Side Blind Zone Alert and Cross Traffic Alert.

The new model year also brings an additional convenience feature: two charging-only USB ports on the rear of the center console to power up electronics from the second row.

Acadia's lineup for 2014 includes the SLE (with SLE-1 and SLE-2 trims), the SLT (with SLT-1 and SLT-2 trims) and the Denali models, with seven- or eight-passenger configurations.

A 3.6L V-6 VVT engine that uses gasoline direct injection technology powers all Acadia models, optimizing performance and fuel economy across the board. The engine is paired with Acadia's fuel-saving six-speed automatic transmission.

Known for its interior functionality especially popular with families, including the SmartSlide seating system, Acadia allows easy access to the third row for both seven- and eight-passenger seating configurations. Additionally, the second and third row still fold flat for class-leading maximum cargo space.

With a sleek and sculpted exterior design, the 2014 Acadia emits a look of refinement. From the three-bar grille in front and the standard diffused LED running lamps to the rear spoiler, the beauty of this vehicle is in the details. Offered with 18-, 19- and 20-inch wheel designs that complement the exterior's lines and stance, Acadia is stylish and functional.
