You have to love a 3-row SUV that gets it all right. That is put together the way you’d assemble your own wardrobe for the season and every time you get dressed, you know you nailed it. That’s the feeling in the redesigned 2024 GMC Acadia

First, GMC simplified the trim lineup. There are 3—well, 4 really— trims: Elevation (with two options: AWD and FWD), AT4 designed for adventure, towing and light off-roading, and the top of the line Denali. Each has its own character and all are pretty nicely outfitted. Even the base Elevation model comes in leatherette rather than cloth seats. And, the Acadia is bigger than the last model: at 11″ longer it has more legroom, more room for kids car seats and more cargo space.

With pricing starting at about $44K and topping out at about $65,000, there are no real compromises. Except one, which might be a deal killer for some buyers. More on that. But first… What’s the 2024 model all about?
