It's impressive, and it's why the Acadia Denail is my new favorite luxury SUV that isn't actually a luxury SUV. It's almost as if this SUV has nothing to prove, but goes ahead and proves it anyway. But the Acadia Denali doesn't approach with a lack of confidence. The midsize crossover is an incredibly competitive segment - one of the most important for automakers doing business in the US and increasingly in China. So the Acadia Denali comes off a more serious ride than, say, a Lexus RX 350. Instead, it's based on the true utility of a truck, even if it's a crossover SUV. The weird thing about the Acadia Denali is that its fully optioned pricing is right up there with Audi, BMW, Mercedes, Lexus, and others, but its brand reputation isn't based on luxury.

We're not talking about a sports car, but the Acadia Denail comes off as rather nimble for a crossover than can accommodate so many people. This is an SUV that you can hop into and feel comfortable with right away. This could be because of the XT5's eight-speed transmission versus the six-speed on the GMC. The GMC's engine, however, felt more robust than the Caddy's, even thought they're effectively the same. Stiffer, to be sure, than the Cadillac XT5, with which it shares a platform. If I had one complaint, it was that the Acadia Denali's ride, no matter which mode it was in, was a tad stiff. (In cities, there's a helpful front pedestrian-detection system.) A bunch of advanced cruise-control features - ranging from a forward-distance indicator to low-speed forward braking, a following-distance indicator to lane-keep assist - made for a low-key jaunt. On a highway cruise from New Jersey the east end of Long Island and back, everyone traveled in mellow comfort, enjoying the quality audio system and the extensive OnStar 4G LTE connectivity. The vehicle is packed with unpretentious premium materials and high-end technology, and it has all the versatility a family of five could want without graduating to a full-size SUV. The new 2017 Acadia achieves a respectable 21/26 mpg city/highway in front-drive form with the standard 2.5-liter I-4 that produces 193 hp and 188 lb-ft of torque (AWD models get 21/25 mpg city.
