Rollicking into the market from the end of 2006, the GMC Acadia is a large crossover SUV built on the lines of the GM Lambda by the venerable General Motors. Don't fret if your family, friends and pets are all gluttons because the dimensions of the GMC Acadia are vast enough to accommodate 8 elephantine adults. The car can drag a maximum weight of approximately 2000 kg. A cradle-to-grave quality approach has been taken by General Motors to enhance the quality of this car. The GMC Acadia possesses a 118” inch wheelbase. There are separate suspensions for the anterior and posterior of the car with a MacPherson strut suspension in the anterior comprising balancing blocks and aluminum hooks. The hind suspension applies a novel structure that comprises a horizontal bar across two vertical ones which enables the car to move adroitly. Other Features of the GMC Acadia : | |

The powerful LY7 V6 engine that runs the Cadillac, Buick and Saturn also drives the GMC Acadia . The engine generates 275 hp and a torque of 340 Nm. 6 T75 6-speed self-regulating gear levers increase the nimbleness of the drive. GMC claims that the 6T75 gear levers boost the car's capabilities by around 10% and contributes to fuel efficiency by approximately 5% more than other cars of the same category manufactured by General Motors. The fuel consumption of the car is in the order of 13 L per 100 km in the city and 8.4 L per 100 km in the highway.
The price of the GMC Acadia ranges from approximately $ 29,000 to $ 38,000.
