2012 4dr SUV 288-horsepower 3.6L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic AWD
The third room has enough head room to even fit an adult comfortably and is wide enough to accommodate three individuals. It is one of the few SUV's that offer 8 seat capacity and has a larger interior capacity than a Tahoe. see full GMC Acadia review

6-speed shiftable automatic AWD
we travel with adults not children and find the 2nd row very comfortable. see full GMC Acadia review
2010 4dr SUV 288-horsepower 3.6L V6

Better 2nd & 3rd row comfort than the Honda Minivan (this is to be a daily driver for a family with 4 kids under 10) see full GMC Acadia review
