2012 GMC Acadia Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||

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 |

2014 | 4dr SUV | Seats are just not comfortable for any trips lasting more than an hour. I'm 6'1 and my wife is 5'6" and we both found the seats to be uncomfortable on long trips see full Kia Sportage review |
