ntroduced for 2007, the Acadia was GMC's first crossover and shares design cues with the brand's full-size SUVs: the Yukon and Yukon XL. It has a tapered roof line and rear spoiler and features wide rear doors for an easier step-in height. Competitors include the Hyundai Veracruz and Mazda CX-9.
Available with front- or all-wheel drive, the Acadia can seat seven or eight depending on the configuration, and GMC says the third row will hold adults. The second-row seat slides forward for easier access to the third row.
Changes for 2008 include a newly optional rearview camera that's integrated with the navigation system, a panic-braking feature and a second-row console for seven-seat SLT models. XM Satellite Radio is also newly standard.
