2013 GMC Acadia & Acadia Denali Review

2013 GMC Acadia & Acadia Denali Review

GMC unveiled the new 2013 Acadia and Acadia Denali highlighting a new exterior and safety features including the industry’s first front center air bag.

Acadia, which launched in 2007 as GMC’s first crossover and defined a segment that has since surged in popularity, had the best sales in its five-year history in 2011.

The Denali model, added in mid-2010, broadened Acadia’s appeal to luxury customers with its combination of functionality and style.

Improving a crossover that defined a segment was a challenge our engineers embraced.

The 2013 Acadia and Acadia Denali personify our never say never approach with the same flexible, accommodating space and functionality as their predecessors, but with enhanced style, safety and technology. Acadia Denali, takes that attention to detail and comfort to a new level.

“With an award-winning combination of space, capability and fuel-efficiency, Acadia epitomizes GMC’s ‘never say never’ attitude,” said Tony DiSalle, U.S. vice president of GMC Marketing.

“For 2013, our engineers and designers applied that same attitude to developing the new Acadia.”

Acadia retains the interior functionality popular with families, including the SmartSlide seating system, which allows easy access to the third row for both seven- and eight-passenger seating configurations.

Likewise, both the second and third row still fold flat for class-leading maximum cargo space, including the ability to carry 48-inch-wide sheet goods, such as drywall and plywood.

Attention to detail separates professional grade from everybody else. That’s apparent in the 2013 Acadia interior. Redesigned seats emphasize comfort with refined softer-touch materials.

A redesigned instrument panel display delivers the information you need quickly and easily. New features include:

■ Ambient lighting accents
■ New soft, attractive trim accents and instrument panel wrap
■ Touch-activated Climate Controls make it easier to set and maintain comfort levels
■ New 4-way adjustable front seat head restraints for greater safety and comfort

New head, tail and fog lamps on the Acadia assure that form follows function – letting you see and be seen.

■ New projector beam headlamps with signature LED lighting includes available high-intensity discharge xenon headlamps.
■ New Halogen fog lamps with projector technology help reduce glare and improve visibility in foggy conditions.
■ New LED tail lamps integrated into Acadia’s all-new rear quarter design mean safety and style

An intuitive high definition color touchscreen is your command center for all your infotainment and navigation options. The standard HD Radio-compatible system includes a custom-configurable homescreen and easy-to-use touch-activated controls. Expand your infotainment and control options with IntelliLink1 (standard on Denali) which adds voice control and seamless smartphone integration.

IntelliLink features that keep you connected wherever you travel include:

■ Intuitive voice command
■ Bluetooth4 connectivity
■ SmartPhone integration for hands-free calling and phone book access
■ Stream Pandora®5 and Stitcher® Internet Radio5 and control through the radio app

The 2013 Acadia and Acadia Denali blend the latest safety innovations with Acadia’s long list of standard safety content. From helping prevent the unexpected, reacting to it when called to do so, and providing protection and support if they’re needed, all are a part of Acadia’s comprehensive safety package.

Acadia Denali adds the extra peace of mind of such standard safety innovations as Side Blind Zone, Cross-Traffic Alert Systems and Head-up Display.

The 2013 Acadia and Acadia Denali build on a solid track record of GMC Professional Grade engineering focused on delivering performance and handling dynamics that keep you confident behind the wheel – no matter where the road takes you.

5-liter supercharged V8 engine and will reach 60 mph in 4.0 seconds, and a top speed of 186 mph (electronically limited)2. The F-TYPE S Coupe and F-TYPE Coupe are powered by 3-liter supercharged V6 engines in 380hp and 340hp forms respectively, giving 0-60 mph in 4.8/5.1 seconds and top speeds of 171/161 mph2.

The F-TYPE Coupe visual message is defined by three key ‘heart lines’, that visual message beginning with the formidable grille. It is from the twin ‘shark gill’ openings that sit either side of the grille that the essential first heart line – which mirrors the design of the F-TYPE Convertible – flows and begins to take shape. Running up through the headlamp, and accentuated by the LED ‘J blade’ signature running lamps, the line then arcs up over the front wheel arch before dropping elegantly as it runs through the door, washing out into the muscular rear haunch.

The second heart line begins at the rear edge of the door, swelling outwards and upwards to create a visually strong wheel arch, emphasizing the car’s rear-wheel drive layout, before dropping vertically through the tail lamp ...
