The GMC Acadia has been sold since 2007 across two generations: the first, from 2007 to 2016, and the most recent second generation, from 2017 to present. 

GMC Acadia First Generation (2007 to 2016)

As a crossover vehicle, the GMC Acadia looks like an SUV but is built on a unibody (or car) platform; that results in a more car-like ride. The same engine—but with revised displacement—was offered throughout this generation. 

The 2007 model started with a 3.6L V6 engine that put out 275 hp; by 2009, its output had increased to 288 hp—where it stayed for the rest of the generation.

GMC Acadia Vs Chevy Traverse

Even though the GMC Acadia and the Chevy Traverse are essentially the same vehicle, there's enough of a difference to consider both. Redesigned one year after the Acadia, the 2018 model features a fresh style and more power with 3.6L V6 engine that makes 310 hp, and new nine-speed automatic transmission. The Traverse is also a little bigger inside, with the potential to fit eight passengers. 

GMC Acadia Vs Dodge Durango 

A crossover like the Acadia, the Dodge Durango looks like a rugged truck – but drives like a car. The Durango, which seats seven, also does decidedly truck-like things like towing an estimated 7,400 pounds — when properly equipped — with on the SXT trim with the 3.6L Pentastar^® V6 engine.²  The Durango also offers vehicle shoppers a rear-wheel drive people hauler, along with optional all-wheel-drive. The Acadia base model is front-wheel-drive. 

GMC Acadia Vs Jeep Grand Cherokee

If you're looking for style, luxury, and versatility, the Jeep Grand Cherokee may be the right fit for your needs. This is a handsome SUV with luxury trappings and a go-anywhere spirit that can explore the wilderness and the shopping mall. The Jeep Grand Cherokee offers more powertrains than the Acadia, and true off-road capability. For example, the Grand Cherokee's base engine is a 3.6L V6, making 295 hp. It's EPA-estimated at 19/26/21 mpg.¹  The Grand Cherokee also boasts an amazing Trackhawk model and a supercharged 6.2L V8 engine. That makes an incredible 707 hp and 645 lb.-ft. of torque.
