The Acadia shares its platform and several mechanical components with the Buick Enclave and Chevrolet Traverse. However, each of these vehicles has its own distinct character. The GMC is an SUV-cum-crossover that can accommodate up to eight passengers and all their gear. Front- or all-wheel drive are available on different models, while a 288-hp 3.6-litre V6 works with a six-speed automatic transmission to power the vehicle.
