Should I Buy the 2022 GMC Acadia?
The 2022 Acadia’s extra standard safety features are important additions in the highly competitive three-row SUV class. A comfortable ride bodes well for long trips, even if limited cargo capacity behind the third row means some luggage may have to be stored on the roof. The third row is also snug.
