The new 2008 GMC Acadia is packed with a stronger frame, more powerful engine, and more spacious interior. It is considered as one of the best large crossover utility vehicles sold at a very reasonable price.

The ‘08 Acadia is available in only one body style. This body style includes a wide track and long wheelbase. Its base form comes with a front-wheel drive while you may also opt for an all-wheel drive.

The GMC Acadia is also available in three trim levels namely SLE-1, SLT-1, and SLT-2. Each of these model comes with a 3.6-liter V6 engine that can generate 275 horsepower and 251 pound-feet of torque. In addition, all trim levels come standard with a six-speed automatic transmission.

Interior features include cruise control, full power accessories and front and rear air-conditioning for superb comfort. Meanwhile, the base stereo is a six-speaker sound system with an in-dash CD player and MP3 playback which provide entertainment for the whole family especially during long trips. However, the SLT-1 and SLT-2 trim levels have a premium 10-speaker Bose system with a six-CD in-dash changer. In addition, other features include leather upholstery, heated front seats, power seats and tri-zone automatic climate control.

Acadia can accommodate up to eight passengers making it one of the roomiest crossover utility vehicles of its kind. Second-row seats are captain’s chairs but you may also ask for a 60/40-split-folding bench. The second-row seats are also convenient since they provide easy access to the third-row seats. In addition, enough luggage room is also provided behind the third row.

Other features of the ‘08 Acadia include a full array of airbags, stability control with roll mitigation and antilock disc brakes which provide superior protection and security.

The 2008 GMC Acadia combines class, affordability, and convenience in delivering quality road performance.
