2023 GMC Acadia

If youâre looking for a three-row SUV that brings premium comfort, confident performance, and just enough attitude to keep things interesting, this 2023 GMC Acadia SLT is ready to make an impression. Finished in Sterling Metallic, this Acadia has the kind of sophisticated look that works just as well pulling up to dinner as it does loading up the family for a weekend escape. Under the hood, the 2.0L Turbocharged engine delivers 228 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque, paired with a smooth 9-speed automatic transmission. That turbocharged torque gives the Acadia plenty of response for merging onto I-5, climbing the hills around Tacoma, or getting the whole crew moving when you're loaded up for the weekend. And with the available Traction Select System, you can adapt the drive to changing road conditions. Then there's that Sterling Metallic exterior. It's a fantastic color for the Acadiaâclean, upscale, and just dark enough to give the SUV some serious presence. Add the distinctive GMC grille, sculpted body lines, and confident stance, and you've got a three-row SUV that looks considerably more interesting than your average family hauler. Inside, the SLT takes things up a notch with perforated leather-appointed seating, heated front seats, an 8-way power driver's seat, remote start, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and an available heated steering wheel. The SLT also comes standard with an 8-inch touchscreen with navigation, while wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto help keep your phone and favorite apps connected without turning the cabin into a cable-management project. And because this is a three-row SUV, there's plenty of room for real life. The Acadia can seat up to seven, while the 50/50-split third row folds flat to give you useful cargo flexibility. Fold the second and third rows and there's up to 79 cubic feet of cargo spaceâwhich should be enough room for groceries, luggage, sports equipment, camping gear, and that one thing you bought at Costco that suddenly seems much larger than it did in the store. GMC also gives the Acadia a solid collection of driver-awareness technology. Automatic Emergency Braking, Front Pedestrian Braking, Forward Collision Alert, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, IntelliBeam, Lane Change Alert with Side Blind Zone Alert, and Rear Cross Traffic Alert are part of the GMC Pro Safety Plus package. But what really makes this Acadia SLT appealing is the balance. It's not trying to be a giant SUV, but it still gives you three rows. It's comfortable enough for a long road trip but easy enough to live with every day. And it has enough turbocharged personality to keep your commute from feeling like a chore. Around the Pacific Northwest, that's a pretty useful combination. Rainy mornings, Seattle traffic, mountain weekends, family road trips, school runs, soccer equipment, and the occasional âlet's take the scenic routeâ detourâthe Acadia is ready for all of it. The weather may be unpredi
