2013 GMC Acadia - Car and Driver

Power is sent through a six-speed automatic transmission to the front wheels. Official Photos and Info – 2013 GMC Acadia For automakers, the prospect of freshening up a successful model can be daunting. Considering that 2011 was the most successful sales year for the Acadia since its 2007 debut , we understand why GMC made few obvious changes in this restyle. For the latest incarnation of this three-row crossover, the softly rounded nose and recessed grille of the outgoing model have been replaced by a comparatively upright three-slot affair with sharper creases. Standard diffused LED running lamps make their first Acadia appearance and are paired with both the standard projector-beam and optional HID headlamps. As with the outgoing Acadia, wheels come in either 18- or 19-inch varieties, although the designs have been updated. Power in all Acadias comes from the same 3. 6-liter V-6 used in the 2012 model, all 288 of its horsepower now routed through a “next-generation” six-speed automatic said to have better shift response and improved drivability. Front-wheel drive is standard. all-wheel drive remains an option. Source: www.caranddriver.com
