I only know of the following 2015 GM vehicles that offer the HUD (RPO UV6) option:

1. Buick LaCrosse (1SL, 1SP, 1SR)

2. Cadillac ATS (sedan, coupe, ATS-V)

3. Cadillac CTS (sedan; 2SK, 1SG, 1SH, 1SJ, 1SK, 1SQ, 1SR, 1SS, 1ST)

4. Cadillac Escalade/ESV (1SB, 1SC, 1SD)

5. Cadillac XTS (FWD 1SC, 1SD; AWD 1SC, 1SK, 1SD, 1SL)

6. Chevrolet Camaro (2LT, 2SS, ZL1)

7. Chevrolet Corvette (2LT, 3LT, Z51, Z06)

8. GMC Acadia (SLT-2/Denali)

9. GMC Yukon/Yukon XL (Denali)

 

I'm surprised that the Impala LTZ, Traverse LTZ, and Enclave models do not offer this option (LaCross/XTS, Acadia sister models do).  The Buick LaCrosse FWD Leather (1SL) model we had as a service loaner last week had the HUD option as part of the Driver Confidence Package #1 feature (which was part of the Experience Buick option package).  It lacked a few features that my wife's 2000 Pontiac Grand Prix GT HUD had - turn signal & high beam indicators for example - but it was nice to get behind the wheel of a GM vehicle with the HUD again.  I'd still like to see GM offer this on more vehicles and not just top-of-the-line models either.

I agree, that HUD is a safety feature GM should have on all models and market the hell out of!

You'd think that'd be a "no brainer" ... to have it available on all models, but apparently not.

The Enclave doesn't?  I wonder if they dropped it from the package options.  I thought it had it in prior years.

Drew to my recollection, Enclave didn't have it due to incompatibility of the HUD with the special sound-proofing laminate glass for the Enclave. The engineers were working for a solution, but after the bankruptcy, I never really heard of it. Only Lambda that has it is the Acadia.

Reasonable explanation.... but the Lacrosse has it.
