General Motors downsized the people-moving Acadia for its second generation, but for three-row-conscious consumers, the company reversed course for its third installment. The third-generation GMC Acadia sports three rows of seats, which are stuffed inside a 204-inch-long shell. While the Acadia is stuffed full of the latest GM suite of digital screen tech, the biggest departure in the Acadia’s lineup might be the 3.6-liter V6. Stuffed under the hood of the Acadia since its launch, the 3.6-liter V6 was left at the factory, with GMC stuffing a turbocharged 2.5-liter I4 in its place. This turbocharged I4 shoves 328 hp and 326 lb-ft of torque through an eight-speed automatic transmission to the front wheels, or through the all-wheel-drive system.
