Is the 2025 GMC Acadia a Good SUV?
"The Acadia's recent redesign burnished its credentials as a fully competitive three-row crossover. Interior space remains well above average, while the interior gets an impressive array of tech that includes a vertical portrait-style touchscreen. The turbo four-cylinder engine doesn't feel as strong as its 328-horsepower output would indicate, though, and its refinement leaves something to be desired, too."—Ranked #7 out of 15 Midsize 3-Row SUVs

We always recommend looking at what you lose when you add AWD. In the Terrain's case, the answer is $2k and 2 mpg combined, the latter being a more significant consideration in our view. We'd rather have the extra fuel economy — and range — and let the stability control system sort out any slippage. Today's systems are really good at that. Keeping $2k in your pocket is cool too.
