2017 GMC Acadia All Terrain: First Drive

[@Chrisp707-]

i like how it still looks like an SUV more than a crossover

[@MrCsluggo]

The styling looks really good, I think g m is finally getting its styling down

[@elliottmanning4116]

I think the All Terrain trim level is somewhere between the SLT-1 and SLT-2 trim level. It has leather, but things such as auto-up windows and memory seats are offered in the SLT-2 trim level and top trim Denali only. And stuff like cooled seats, adaptive cruise, and surround view camera system is only available in the Denali.

[@MichelLinschoten]

I got a Acadia all terrain, i have ventilated seats in mine...as well as heated

[@randomuser4014]

i like how the "all terrain" model is a five seater. not everyone needs 7seats. also this reviewer is a total daddy

[@taihnou722]

Amazing review!!! This version doesn't have a third row, right?

[@TestDrivenTV]

Thank you. The third row was discussed in the amazing review ;)

[@spiritofatlantis8739]

Hello… I just bought one just like, same year, same color, 3.6L V6. Mine drives and handles very nicely and over 26.2 mpg hwy 24.5 city. What are the two buttons to the right of the round 2WD/AWD/Performance selector? I cant find it in the manual either. Thanks!

[@seifsalman]

i have to say something about GM products , its built to last long

[@shanecarmen8144]

Hi thanks for posting u seem expert and genuine in ur advice i was thinking to have jeep patriot but after ur review im having a second thought can u suggest a cheap jeep that is safe to drive in snow and rain with cheap monthly payment

[@jclewandowski]

Curious on your thoughts of this All-Terrain vs a Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited? Someone who's use 90% on-road, but driving through snowy conditions each year?

[@jacobreed47]

Those are some awesome boots you got on there. props.

[@lmn222002]

So they brought back the GMC Envoy??

[@kartboarder22g17]

Guess you could say that in some effects. But bear in mind drivetrain is completely different.

[@jimbopsvidz]

Does the all terrain version that you drove have a digital speedometer available? My 2014 Acadia SLT2 does not, but I saw a 2017 Denali review where there was one.

[@TheJoeSwanon]

I wish they offered the all-terrain trim with Captain sits on the second row

[@viramarun]

excellent review, neutral perspective. well detailed. great

[@robertlandry5676]

All terrain except off pavement. Honest review. The black side cladding does turn to crap. Do you have a 2018 Outback 6 cyl Touring review coming up?

[@ichbineinegluhbirne4141]

I feel like the Terrain, Traverse and Enclave involve GM's questionable engineering. The privious generation had a lot of weird flaws that didn't quite match up with the higher quality of their other vehicles. I was hoping for that to change. I'm still loyal to GM. They have come a long way in the last few years.

[@illumination357]

I see durango front end and explorer rear

[@DanielTojcic]

nice looking crossover in the all terrain spec with those seats, but it's too expensive for what's offered.

[@wcjeep]

How was the Acadia compared to the 4runner?

[@TestDrivenTV]

You cannot compare the two at all. One is an SUV with a truck frame, the other is a car-based crossover.

[@alextran8188]

4runner destroys this in reliability and capability.

[@marinoint]

In the future, you should tell the viewers your height, move the driver's seat to your position, then sit behind the driver's seat. This is a much more accurate way to show the interior room.

[@curtisallred7250]

I wish our 2017 GMC Acadia SLT-2 had cylinder deactivation. My grandfather bought it at WAY BROTHERS CHEVROLET BUICK GMC in Perry, Georgia. I love the car but I don't care for the third row seating.

[@redbullwiseman4805]

Bro, it's refreshing having an honest review. Most say only good things and seem almost fake... Great work. It's like listening to a friend who tells u the pros and cons and are believable.....good on ya bro

[@TheMarlonsandifer]

Great review Sam.

[@ravenwood5215]

Nice review dude!!

[@MichelLinschoten]

My wife traded her 2018 camaro for a 2017 acadia terrain with 33k miles on it. I got to say?! I do not miss that fucking dinky toy camaro one bit. Her choice, and she did well if you ask me really cool car. And no rattles at all so not sure what's going on there

[@MusicLover-ti6zo]

Trying to compete with other crossovers like Toyota, Hyundai, and Honda GMC comes up short; the Chevy Traverse has better rating the new Acadia.

[@blackknight5339]

Twin babies died in a car this summer in NYC father forgot they were in the backseat and went to work 😥

[@jlen82]

I hate that GMC made the vehicle smaller.

[@ruthcotton4457]

Why does speedometer go to 260mph?

[@glenncoreyjp6854]

Australians have to wait until 2018 to see the Acadia on Australian shores

[@pilotop6851]

No turn signal indicators on side mirrors????? The old Acadia and the new 2018 terrain has it. As does Ford Edge.

[@rick49721]

I must admit, I was disappointed by the new Acadia in this review. I currently have a 2008 Enclave CXL with approximately 80,000 miles on it, and although I'm disappointed by the gas mileage as well as the somewhat stiff ride (19" wheels), I like it much better than the new Acadia, I don't have any squeaks or rattles at all and I feel a little better about towing my camping trailer behind it than I would with the new ones simply because I heard they lowered the tow rating on the new model. Plus I do have a power sunshade on the rear sunroof!

[@MYTOYMAKERZ]

Nice complete review and I subbed just for that reason. I just can not stand any vehicle that has the plastic around the wheels wells and rocker panels. Now if it had a smooth finish and the color matched the vehicles it would be fine. As an example a white one with the dark grey plastic just not do anything for me. But just my opinion. Thank You

[@GSDrifter]

VW Touareg Sport - much more panish, more features, better off-road manners and no rattling.

[@jacobreed47]

this was not as good as I thought it would be. I'm interested because I bought a 1st gen Buick Enclave CXL AWD. I absolutely hated that thing after 2 months. quality was sooo poor. after that fail of wasting 40+K on a pos, I will stay away from GM as much as possible. with exception of the Camaro, ATS and CTS.

[@legolas9436]

Squeaks, rattles, mismatch, typical gm. Did it set itself on fire like, um, 05 colorado, 06 impala ? The off road modes are nice but on 20's ? for the price not that impressed, I'd stick with Cherokee.

[@djayt1215]

this would compete more with the grand cherokee. the cherokee is much smaller

[@فلانالفلاني-ذ9ب]

الشوارع عندهم تفتح النفس ... مو مثل شوارعنا تجيب الهم 😖

[@harisjabir3445]

You should have tested the Acadia Denali

[@kn7gez]

Like your telling seating position low. Need to sit high in bulky vehicle

[@ChristopherWalkenPUA]

lol wow... looked like that thing was going to rattle apart on the washboard road.

[@1975Chinook]

Hello, What's that moonroof? It's a joke no doubt!?!

[@djayt1215]

soft touch is highly over rated, it should be at touch points only, and the rest should be hard, durable, textured plastic.

[@wingktsui3532]

Agree. If a passenger in your vehicle knock on the panel and complaining he is just a douche

[@FoodyTunes]

We've had a 2012 Acadia AWD and now a 2015 Acadia AWD, and I have to say I'm really disappointed with this 2017 redesign. We love the size & design/layout of the current Acadia. As well, this styling actually looks like a step-down. Really too bad.

[@chico1014]

typical gm crap fit and finish suck,squeaks like a 10 year old Hyundai and almost 50k.why would anybody want this with so much competition out there that is so much better

[@IamGroot786]

Have to totally agree with you. The Subaru Outback is just a much better value!

[@djayt1215]

but worse reliability, an poor aesthetics.

[@GSDrifter]

Yes. It's a shame that GM can't produce a solid, non-squeaky "all-terrain" machine that can compete in this market.

[@marshallhall6449]

I wonder how much more a Tahoe would cost?

[@TestDrivenTV]

www.Chevrolet.com

[@GSDrifter]

Rattling is not good - especially for a build promoted as "All Terrain." Interior doesn't get my motor going. Strikes me as typical American car quality. Very average.

[@فلانالفلاني-ذ9ب]

١٣:٤٠ حتى عندهم مطناج 😵

[@rockford2523]

Too bad it rattles so bad.

[@sayedislambd]

ok ok

[@dewaynethomas3258]

That’s not good suv for a tall families

[@jamyacole1123]

Yes because we had the 2019 version but now we have the 2020 the 2020 is so beautiful

[@penguindiego]

Used in 2018 it's only 14,000$

[@UltimateCARNUT]

lol all terrain
