2020 GMC Acadia First Look When GMC designed Acadia a few years ago, it has made a series of improvements in quality, comfort and technology. Unfortunately, the new Acadia has maintained an old six-speed automatic transmission, which has hampered acceleration and fuel economy, and has become standard with an old four-cylinder engine. The Acadia brothers, the Chevrolet Traverse, have been launched with a 9-speed automatic and optional V6 from GMC as a standard engine. In addition to being larger and providing greater interior space, Traverse appeared to be the default choice for three-row GM SUVs. The six-speed automatic transmission does the job, but we love the new nine-speed unit by 2020 GMC Acadia First Look, and there's no denying it offers a fuel economy advantage. While the new Acadia engine is not loaded with 2.5 liter turbocharged (193 hp, 188 lb. of torque), the longest models are now standard with the 2.0-liter turbocharged (230 hp, 258 lb) -ft. This is much more capable. In particular, the powerful V6 engine (310 hp, 271 lbs) remains an option for buyers who want it. At a glance, it seems that GMC is simply aligning Acadia with Travers, but take a look and you will see that what it has really done is more recognizable.
The most aggressive exterior design only helps on that front. The square headlights and large grid are welcome changes by 2020, making the Acadia look like a GMC truck. We admire the strongest appearance, and are happy to see GMC detail and establish a strong identity. GMC has been smart with Acadia 2020, and we believe buyers will be paying attention, especially with regard to the proposed improved value of SLT. The official MSRP rating is not published, but we do not expect it to deviate significantly from the current pricing structure. The GMC 2020 should affect agents this fall.Also Like: GMC Acadia First Look
