New 2009 GMC Acadia

Crossing over is a good thing.  As we shift from enormous tank-like SUVs to more fuel efficient, yet spacious vehicles, the 2009 GMC Acadia makes crossing over a smart move.

Save money instantly at the pump and get 16-17 mpg city and 23-24 mpg highway without compromising on size and function. That fuel economy puts it on track with the Toyota Highlander, Honda Pilot, Mazda CX-9. The Acadia is the same size as the GMC Yukon, but because of its third-row seating, it is more practical for families. One of the most significant upgrades from last year is the 3.6-liter, 288-horsepower V-6 engine. The six-speed automatic transmission has direct-injection technology that has improved power by five percent and reduces cold-start emissions up to 25 percent.

The Acadia keeps it simple with two trim levels, the well-equipped SLE and the top-of-the-line SLT. Both have unparalleled seating for their class. Fit up to eight people with three rows of seats, or get best-in-class interior space by folding both rows of seats revealing almost 117 cubic feet.

An available touch screen navigation system adds detailed maps, directions and real-time traffic updates. The DVD entertainment system keeps passengers entertained on the inside, while the unique Dual Skyscape™ sunroof opens the Acadia to the elements outside. Available heated, leather-appointed driver and front passenger seats add comfort to winter driving, and an available AM/FM in-dash 6-disc CD player with Bose® premium 10-speaker system adds comfort for anytime driving.

General Motor’s OnStar service comes standard and includes: Turn-by-Turn Navigation, Vehicle Diagnostics, Remote Door Unlock, Hands-Free Calling, Stolen Vehicle Location Assistance, and Roadside Assistance and RideAssist, which will call you a cab if you are incapable of driving. 

Showcasing a variety of safety features, the Acadia comes with standard StabiliTrak electronic stability system with rollover mitigation, 4-wheel antilock disc brakes, and tire pressure monitoring system. Dual front, side, and side curtain airbags protect passengers in all three rows. Traction control comes standard in front-wheel drive models.

Fit the entire family, save at the pump and feel safe behind the wheel of the powerful and stylish 2009 GMC Acadia.
