2007 GMC Acadia - Overview

[Flybrian]

ALL-NEW 2007 GMC ACADIA RAISES THE BAR IN THE CROSSOVER SEGMENT

The all-new 2007 Acadia is GMC’s first crossover, bringing a smooth, responsive driving experience, athletic design, a spacious interior and a comprehensive safety package to the fastest-growing vehicle segment in the United States.

“Acadia is a natural extension of the GMC brand,” said John Larson, Pontiac-GMC general manager. “Its combination of smooth, responsive driving traits and SUV versatility embody GMC’s professional grade philosophy. Acadia is a great looking vehicle that will attract customers who’ve never visited a GMC showroom.”

The smooth ride and agile handling come from a four-wheel independent suspension system mounted to a rigid body-frame integral (BFI) structure. The structure enables a lower center of gravity, while the independent front and rear suspensions, combined with a precise rack-and-pinion steering system, provide sharp and immediate response to driver input.

Acadia’s agility is complemented by responsive performance from a 3.6L V-6 VVT – a high-feature engine with variable valve timing that is designed for good fuel economy, low emissions and exceptional smoothness. It is rated at 267 horsepower (199 kW) and 247 lb.-ft. of torque (335 Nm).* The engine is backed by a new, fuel-saving Hydra-Matic 6T75 six-speed automatic transmission. Acadia is available in front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive models.

Acadia offers seven- or eight-passenger seating configurations. All three rows comfortably seat adults while simultaneously allowing generous cargo space behind the third-row seats. Third-row entry and egress are eased with very wide rear doors and GM’s exclusive Smart Slide second-row seat. The BFI structure also enables a lower entry/exit height for passengers, which makes entry, exit and cargo placement easier. Despite the vehicle’s SUV-like front-end height, the front door step-in height is only 18.9 inches (480 mm); the rear door step-in height is 19.8 inches (503 mm).

Smooth ride and responsive handling

Acadia is built on a body-frame integral (BFI) structure that is reinforced with high-strength steel. It rides on a long 118.9-inch (3,021 mm) wheelbase, with wide 67.3-inch (1,709 mm) front/rear tracks – a combination that lowers the center of gravity and enables agile, stable ride and handling.

Acadia’s driving reflexes are supported by independent front and rear suspensions. The front suspension features a MacPherson strut design, with a direct-acting stabilizer bar and aluminum steering knuckles. Isolated mounting points help reduce noise and vibration. The rear suspension uses a compact, state-of-the-art linked “H” design, which has an isolated mounting system that reduces noise and vibration transmitted to the passenger compartment. This design enables the handling prowess that comes with an independent suspension, but with minimal floor pan intrusion – a feature that helps the Acadia offer generous passenger and cargo space.

Acadia features standard power-assisted rack-and-pinion steering, with variable-effort steering available. StabiliTrak electronic stability control system with rollover mitigation technology and traction control is standard on all models.

The available, intelligent all-wheel drive system provides increased traction on slippery roads and other driving situations – such as freeway ramps – where increased traction would enhance handling. The system works by always delivering a controlled amount of torque to the rear wheels. There is no driver intervention; the system automatically decides how much torque to apply and delivers it to the wheels with the best traction.

Efficient powertrain

GM’s 3.6L V-6 with variable valve timing (VVT) and a new Hydra-Matic 6T75 six-speed automatic transmission is the Acadia’s standard powertrain combination. The engine’s four-cam phasing operation of the variable valve timing system ensures linear delivery of torque across the rpm band, while features such as electronic throttle control deliver crisp, immediate response and feedback. The engine uses electro-hydraulic vane-type phasers, allowing infinitely variable combinations to optimize performance and efficiency.

A new Hydra-Matic 6T75 electronically controlled six-speed automatic transmission backs the 3.6L V-6 VVT. It is an advanced transmission with clutch-to-clutch shift operation for front- and all-wheel-drive vehicles. Clutch-to-clutch operation allows for reduced complexity and compact packaging. A wide, 6.04:1 overall ratio helps the transmission deliver both performance and fuel economy, enabling up to 8 percent improved performance and up to 4 percent improved fuel economy when compared with current front-wheel drive four-speed automatics.

Fuel economy for FWD models is estimated at 17 mpg in city driving and 25 mpg on the highway; AWD models are estimated at 17 and 24 mpg. Acadia can tow up to 4,500 pounds (2,041 kg), when properly equipped.

Athletic design

The Acadia features athletic styling that underscores GMC’s professional grade philosophy. The design is highlighted by polished aluminum roof rails, select bright work and large, prominent headlamps that flank a detailed GMC grille. The headlamps use projector beam technology to deliver bright, precise lighting and are mounted in houses that have a crystal-clear appearance. High-intensity discharge lamps (HID) are available.

The profile of the Acadia is sleek and aerodynamic, with a sporty, tapered roof line. Distinctive LED taillamps and a rear spoiler enhance the vehicle’s sporty appearance, as do large 18-inch wheels and tires (19-inch wheels are available). Acadia has a coefficient of drag of just 0.361 – which reduces wind noise and enhances fuel economy.

Acadia is available in nine exterior colors: Summit White, Gold Mist Metallic, Liquid Silver Metallic, Red Jewel Tint, Deep Blue Metallic, White Diamond Tricoat, Blue-Gold Crystal Metallic, Carbon Metallic and Medium Brown Metallic.

Spacious, refined interior

Acadia’s interior reflects style and refinement.. The instrument panel design enhances the feeling of openness in the front-row seats and provides a commanding outward view. The instrument panel and other interior elements feature high-quality, low-gloss materials and attention to fit, finish and flushness. Additional professional grade features include thick door glass, flat-blade windshield wipers and strategically placed sound deadening material, which minimizes road and wind noise.

The versatile interior includes three rows of seating and can be configured for seven or eight passengers. The front row includes two bucket seats and the standard third row features a 60/40-split bench seat that accommodates three passengers. The second row is available with either a 60/40-split bench (three passengers) design or two captain’s chairs (two passengers). Leather seats also are available.

Acadia’s wider rear doors make entry and egress easier, with the rear door width enabled by the vehicle’s long wheelbase. Engineers maximized the door opening by reducing the space between the rear door and leading edge of the door opening.

The Smart Slide feature is standard on all second-row configurations and also eases entry to and egress from the third row. With Smart Slide, the second-row seat cushion flips up while the seatback slides forward, effectively compressing the space occupied by the seat. It operates with the pull of one handle and also has adjustable fore/aft positioning of the second-row seat. When adjusted rearward, the second-row seat provides more legroom for taller passengers; when adjusted forward, it provides more storage space or additional legroom for third-row passengers.

Acadia also offers generous cargo room, including an estimated 117 cu. ft. (3,313 L) when the second- and third-row seats are folded. In fact, Acadia even offers an estimated 19.7 cu. ft. (557.9 L) of cargo space behind the third-row seat when in the upright position – capacity many other SUVs and crossovers cannot come close to matching. Also, Acadia’s second- and third-row seats fold flat for even more cargo-carrying capacity, and a covered rear cargo convenience center allows items to be stored out of sight beneath the rear cargo floor.

Rounding out the appeal of the Acadia is a wide range of useful optional and standard equipment, including heated outside mirrors, tri-zone heating and air conditioning system, intermittent rear wiper, ultrasonic parking assist, power liftgate, extended-range remote vehicle starting system, heated windshield washer fluid, an oversized dual SkyScape sunroof, DVD entertainment system, a DVD-based navigation system, Bose 5.1 Surround Sound Audio system and GMC-exclusive audio controls located in the cargo area. Acadia also offers an exclusive head-up display that projects instrument readouts and other features onto the windshield for easy, eyes-on-the-road reference.

Comprehensive safety system

The GMC Acadia has a comprehensive safety system designed to protect passengers before, during and after a crash. Its strong structure and four-wheel independent suspension system enhance safety by providing stable ride and handling characteristics. Four-wheel anti-lock brakes, StabiliTrak electronic stability control system – with rollover mitigation technology – and GM’s tire pressure monitoring system are standard.

Acadia is equipped with six standard air bags: two dual-stage frontal air bags, two seat-mounted side-impact air bags in the first row and two roof rail air bags that cover all three seating rows. Complementing the air bags is GM’s rollover sensing system, which will activate the roof rail air bags if sensors determine a rollover is occurring. Because rollovers are typically longer events than non-rollover crashes, the roof rail air bags stay inflated longer to provide increased occupant protection and containment. Additionally, first-row positions feature safety belt pretensioners, which activate at the moment of a crash to take up any slack in the safety belt and hold the passengers in place.

Acadia comes standard with OnStar Generation 7 (with a one-year Safe and Sound plan), which features the Advanced Automatic Crash Notification system. If the crash activates an air bag, the OnStar system automatically notifies an OnStar advisor, who immediately calls the vehicle and/or summons emergency help.

Acadia also is equipped with OnStar Turn-by-Turn Navigation, the first factory-installed, fully integrated GPS navigation system from OnStar. Turn-by-Turn allows consumers to talk to a live advisor, who in turn sends complete step-by-step directions to customers' vehicles through their OnStar system. These audio directions automatically play through the vehicle’s stereo as needed, triggered by the OnStar system’s GPS capabilities. This enables drivers to be led to their destination while keeping their hands on the wheel and eyes on the road.

Accessories

Acadia owners can select from a variety of GM accessories available through GMC dealers to personalize their vehicle for style and convenience. Just a few of the accessories include two 19-inch wheel designs, a stylish front fascia extension, convenient side step bars and helpful, integrated roof rack cross rails. All Acadia accessories can be purchased through GMC dealerships. For more information about GM Parts, GM Accessories or GM Performance Parts, visit www.gmgoodwrench.com.

*Preliminary, pending SAE certification. A new voluntary power and torque certification procedure developed by the SAE Engine Test Code committee was approved March 31, 2005. This procedure (J2723) ensures fair, accurate ratings for horsepower and torque by allowing manufacturers to certify their engines through third-party witness testing. GM was the first auto manufacturer to begin using the procedure and expects to use it for all newly rated engines in the future.

[american_revolution_2005]

When can we buy and how much? This truck improves on everything on our Tahoe except without the V8. I love it.

[scharmer05]

GMC got this one right...a great looking vehicle and a great package that comes with it.

[zete]

Man. Now what do I do? I like this one and I like the Buick. Both have nice interiors, and this one has color. Finally!

I can only guess it'll be priced between the Outlook and the Enclave.

[BuddyP]

Anybody else notice the non symmetrical design of the driver and passenger door panels? Nother wrong with it, just happen to notice the grab handle on the driver is in the armrest while the handle on the passenger door is different.

That is one nice interior!!

[boblutzfan]

Unbelievable. I love this more than the Enclave. The interior looks great as does the front end view. I am amazed at the technology and options that this CUV has. This will be a huge boost to GMC sales.

So...will GMC bring out a Denali version next year? If so - that is the one I want!!!

This is due to the extra controls on the driver's door. Plus it gives a nice grab bar for the passenger. The driver has that nice steering wheel.

God I love the interior.

It's like that on all the the Lambdas so far.

I LOVE the interior, it has a little sportiness to it, ME LIKIE LOT!

19" wheels AVAILIBLE!

I'm drooling already! This means the Enclave is SO gonna have 20" wheels availible!

I think it has more to do with interference with the turn signal lever.

This is going to get compared to the new RAV-4 isn't it. The RAV is obviously smaller and nowhere near as nice of design interior or exterior, but does offer a 269hp and 246 ft/ft V-6, 29 mpg hwy, 4wd and 3rd row seating. But has 1000lbs less towing capacity. Too bad GMC couldn't rate it higher than 4500, but that's to be considered since it is a FWD based plateform. And yes I realize this won't be a market for those doing a lot of towing. Don't get me wrong, I'd never buy a RAV and am all over the Acadia, I can just see the media bashing already.

I'm sure they will, but when a V8 become optional (and it will) i'm sure the towing rating will jump to 5000+.

I'm thinking the V6 version target is for people with a small/med boat trailer or something, nothing HUGE. Those familes buy a truck or yukon.

[jbartley]

PS-

the gmc.com site has the Acadia up, the sunroofs are awesome, as are the interior colors.

Things to note:

Is RED lighting the "new" GMC color? Looks like it

There is a new "airbag indication light panel" looks MUCH better than the current one!

The centre stack radio looks a little different than the Outlook, I wonder if this is more accurate to how the buttons will looks in the Outlook?

Edmunds already screwed this announcement up;

http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do/News/articleId=116089

They talk about how GMC, Buick, and Saturn are all getting CUVs, then go on to say that with the differentiation of Pontiac-Buick-GMC, all three will have a version.

Ummm...Note to Edmunds, Saturn does NOT equal Pontiac.

Idiots

[Sixty8panther]

AWSOME! [/sarcasm]

Another FWD-car-based "truck" with a transverse mounted motor.

Its styling is a strong B+ though.

Anyway, outstanding vehicle inside and out.

Will all 3.6L equipt vehicles get the new DI version, or is that reserved for Cadillac and upscale models of certain vehicles?

[Flybrian]

Yeah, some people don't just understand things, like these things are how you pay for a Camaro.

Anyway, check out the black-on-whitish interior combo on the GMC site. Hot!

[thegriffon]

That makes 6 full-sized crossovers and counting. I think GM will have a more than adequate share of this segment. What they need is more decent mid-sized crossovers from the mainstream brands, ones not being discounted to compete with the RAV4 etc.

[zete]

Awesome! The nav system picture shows my home town, Ottawa! My office is just off of Booth St. That was a rather nice surprise to see. I just have to get one now :-).

[Mike The Canadian]

is it just me, or is that some $h!ty mileage? Howcome GM cant make a good v6? My cousins murano gets 30 mpg, sure it's a bit lighter, but this is a pretty big difference...

oh well..maybe i'm the only one dissapointed, I just find it weird that a 400 hp vette can get simular mileage....

dude check out the size and weight of this thing. It's bigger and heavier than an SRX...and nearly as big as an R-Class.

[ToniCipriani]

Not sure if I like the headlights, but the interior is plain sexiness.

wow. i just saw these pics. I am stunned. this thing is gorgeous. And all the feature bases are covered. imagine when the small block gets here too!

Wow. the wife is getting pictures of this in her inbox tomorrow.

did you see the thumb shifter? oh, they got every detail! 6, no 5, 6, 6, 4-6, 5, 4, 3, 5, 6, 7

Very nice! So nice to see some style inside GMs newer interiors!

What's with the all-red illuminated gauges/instruments? I thought that was only a Pontiac thing?

Also, what exactly is GMC... premium trucks and crossovers?

You know what they say, if she swallows, she's a keeper.....

[C.H.U.D.]

Wow! That interior is gorgeous. I think they could have gone a little further with the outside though. The rear looks perilously close to the Outlook.

165827[/snapback]

I can't see it being compared to the RAV-4..different size, different market niche. Now I could see it being compared to the Highlander, Pilot, and Murano though...

[Robert Hall]

It's a sweet looking wagon..I like the interior and exterior. I hope it, the Outlook and Enclave are all hits for GM...

[bowtie_dude]

This and the Outlook should be really competitive. The Pilot just got an MCE, so its not due for any changes for at least 2-3 years. Highlander is up for a redo, though, or should be its a couple years old now, so we'll see how they'll stack up against it when that happens.

But If GM can get MCEs out in a timely manner and keep these up to date with powertrains and equipment, there's no reason the Lambdas shouldn't sell every model built, that I can see.

[bowtie_dude]

166292[/snapback]

Exactly. Even the Highlander is a bit smaller, though I'm sure the next one will grow.

I see Acadia's direct competitors as the Pacifica, Freestyle, XC90, Pilot, R350 (to an extent)...a move-up vehicle from the current Highlander, Murano, GM Thetas, etc....and a move-down vehicle from the Sequoia, Expedition, etc.

Whats happening to the 4Runner? Its currently the same size as the Highlander, only RWD and not capable of 7-passenger seating. If Highlander grows, which it will, where does that leave the Tacoma-based 4Runner?

[rcf8000]

If the Impala needs a V8, the Acadia certainly needs one.

166297[/snapback]

I don't see the 4Runner going anywhere. It has its place. I believe the 4Runner, Explorer, Grand Cherokee, Pathfinder, and Trailblazer will be on only truck-based midsize SUVs to make it out of this decade alive. Hopefully, the Trailblazer will return to its roots riding on the NG compact pickup GM is working on, perhaps with a 3-door Trailblazer Sport version.

I don't think any segment will ever die completely, midsize truck-based 'utes included. It'll just consist of the real good ones, like it did before. All of those have some sort of following made up of people who like them for the trucks they are, not those that use them to substitute station wagons, sedans, and minivans.

[Imaj]

This would cost more than the Saturn, right? I guess, since it has a more upscale interior, IMO. Though I prefer the Outlook's exterior, I can't complaing about the Acadia's.

166145[/snapback]

The milage seems about right for it. The Toyota RAV4 with the 269hp 3.5 V-6 is rated at 29 hwy, but weighs 1200-1300lbs less. 4mpg differece seems about right considering the weight difference. If it's anything like our Avalanche or Alero, it'll actually get 27 mpg hwy vs the claimed 25.

[ToniCipriani]

I think Fly is talking about an entirely different platform, not one derived from Lambda.

[pow]

Holy f'in $h!... finally, an interior that looks AMAZING!

Overall, the Acadia is a bit weak conceptually, but the execution is excellent.

[GMTruckGuy74]

I gotta tell you, I like the Acadia a lot! At the NYIAS, the wife really liked the Enclave while I really liked the Outlook. Now that GM has finally shown the Acadia, I gotta say I'm in a toss-up which one I like better - Acadia or Outlook. I must say though if GMC is the only one to use HUD, that might be enough to swing me over to the Acadia (and unless Saturn starts accepting GM Card points). I've been serioulsy considering buying my '05 Envoy when the lease expires in August of 2008 - but I might put the money towards a new Lambda crossover instead. The only thing I have to get use to is the drop in the headlights for the turn signals. The wife said that design feature makes it look a little like the foreign trucks.

[Nick]

I like it, but I'm with 68 on the FWD thing...atleast it has awd available...

[SimonDavid]

I love it, especially the interior, but it does seem heavy for a non BOF truck, they would have to slim it down for the Lambda minivans

This makes the Saturn version look a bit ordinary - I think Chevy would be better off with that one

[trinacriabob]

Definitely better looking than the Enclave. This doesn't try to look like anything else. The front lamps are chiseled and interesting without being stupid. The overall appearance is proportionate and harmonious. Nice dashboard, too.
