What’s New for the 2018 GMC Acadia?

After slimming down the Acadia last year, GMC has added a few new features for the 2018 lineup. On the Denali, drivers are pampered with an automatic heated steering wheel, perfect for when those winter months sneak up on you. To add more opportunity for customization, the 2018 Acadia now comes with Blue Steel Metallic as an exterior body color option. Tire fill alert comes new and standard at all trim levels, alerting drivers when tire pressure is low. In addition, the All Terrain is now offered with five-, six-, or seven-passenger seating.

Additional and optional features allow the outside of your GMC Acadia to reflect your personality. Based on trim level, drivers can choose between grilles, wheels, accent trim, and more. In addition to its stylish features, the 2018 Acadia is built with a lightweight body structure, making the mid-size SUV significantly easier to maneuver on the roads.

While the 2018 GMC Acadia is, for the most part, a seven-passenger mid-size SUV, the All Terrain allows for a bit of leeway on that front. With the All Terrain, drivers can choose to opt for a smaller vehicle, if they wish, with a five-, six-, or seven-passenger seating configuration. However, standard on all trims is comfort. With advanced technology features like a Bose® premium eight-speaker system and an 8-inch Infotainment System, you will feel pampered behind the wheel of the Acadia.
