2021 GMC Acadia DENALI REVIEW

[@emilycraver411]

Thank you for the great and speedy walk through! Very educational and I like that I can just refer to your video instead of trying to read my manual. If I could suggest 1 thing to add it would be to show the storage! Lol I'm always needing more storage space. Like the side door/under seat or even that middle part consule (under front drink holder area that's open) would be good to know measurements on but that's just me. 😊 Thanks again!

[@WesternGMDrumheller]

Hey Emily thank you for the kind words and I will try to talk about some of the storage for sure in the future. If you didn't know my videos are uncut unedited unscripted...just my mind and my iPhone walking thru a vehicle trying my best to show and explain many of its features without being too long, lol. Appreciate the comments, cheers!

[@CanadianRyder]

Just traded in 2 vehicles for this 2021 Denali. Very nice SUV, wonderful help and support from Western GM in Drumheller, Thanks !!!!!!!

[@WesternGMDrumheller]

Thanks for the kind words, its a sweet ride you have for sure!!

I just bought a GMC Acadia Denali yesterday it is amazing

[@marnellecorege5595]

Nice review - was quite impressed with the inside - will wait to see what the 2022 looks like - thx for all the information - cheers from Canada

[@coreymickanuik8199]

Beautiful looking SUV, love the look of it.

[@WesternGMDrumheller]

Totally agree it needed that refreshed front end that came last year and I'm glad they added the HUD as standard equipment, appreciate the comment, cheers!

[@Candy.A.]

Are all Denali's moving away from traditional gear shifts (I'm not really a fan of the knobs etc.)

[@WesternGMDrumheller]

Hey Candy, all 2021 and future GMC Acadia's in Acadia Denali will be using this "Electronically Controlled Precision Shifter" The Shifter change from a console shift has been happening for 10 ish years now. It started with European Auto Manufactures using a shift on the steering column others use a dial, push button on the dash or center console and center console sticks just disappearing and North America is following the trend.

Your very welcome I hope this helps

[@MCGaar]

Are they making them big again? After 2016 they made them smaller than the traverse.

[@WesternGMDrumheller]

Hey Noah, the answer is no. GMC is the more rugged, Professional Grade vehicles in the GM lineup and the advanced twin clutch AWD that comes with Acadia isn't available in the Traverse. The Acadia is the perfect mid sized SUV similar to the Ford Edge and Jeep Grand Cherokee in size but can be configured with 6 or 7 passengers vs just 5 in the Ford and Jeep. GM purposly made the Acadia this sized to compete with those vehicles as many people find the Traverse size to mini-van ish in size and want something just a bit smaller. Appreciate the question, cheers!

[@amymina1126]

Well so far so good on that end for us this is our second d brand new Denali sense 2018 now our dealership we got ours from is crappy but nit GMC I think you would love getting one I hoped this helps

[@WesternGMDrumheller]

Appreciate the feedback Amy.

[@amymina1126]

I have one just like it and I LOVE it such a good riding vehicle and has the power to and not bad on gas

[@Namastefromnorth]

The other video had a comment that GMC has the worst customer services and maintenance sucks. As I am looking forward to invest in this beautiful Acadia would love to hear ur experience about it. Plz & thanx

[@jessebrinker3706]

@@Namastefromnorth I wouldn't get one of these. A lot of people are having complete transmission failures within 2k miles. GM is junk.

[@danschubring7957]

Can a bench seat be retrofitted at the dealer?

[@MCGaar]

I sat in so many SUVs and even the top line ones did not have the interior as nice or build qualities. The Jeep grand Cherokees are ticky-tacky inside. The Honda Pilot etc didn’t drive as smooth. The Real competition was the Toyota Highlander but this style of truck like build looks stronger and more aggressive

[@WesternGMDrumheller]

Hey Noah I appreciate your insight so many people don't even drive the Acadia because they assume they know what its build quality or interior fit and finish will be because of OLD GM from pre 2010 when our build quality was only average according to JP Power & Associates. Today Buick, Chevrolet and GMC has placed in the top 10 numerous times in the past 10 years even beating out Toyota and Honda in both initial build quality awards and reliability awards. New GM is so much better than the old Pontiac days etc. but its hard to change those opinions. The Highlander is a nice ride but when they price out the same at the top end I'd choose a Acadia Denali over the Highlander Platinum.

[@bananaapple9737]

I was looking at the 2020 ford explorer. I can afford the base xlt right now. What would you say about that one?

[@WesternGMDrumheller]

@@bananaapple9737 First off its worth walking into a GM Dealership and tell them your looking at a 2020 Ford Explorer XLT 4x4 how close in price and payments can you get me on your 2020/21 GMC Acadia SLE AWD? I bet they will be very similar in price/payment. I personally like the redesigned Ford Explorer but many people didn't like the redesign. So its a good looking vehicle and the 2.3L EcoBoost engine is smooth and quick. Interior is fairly basic and you have to get extra packages to get the things that GM puts as standard equipment in the Acadia like a bigger screen, HD backup camera, Remote start, Heated seats to name a few options.

[@bananaapple9737]

@@WesternGMDrumheller definitely appreciate this info. I've never owned a gmc or for. This gmc looks real nice but my first priority is spacing inside. I have 3 kids. Thanks for the info

[@MCGaar]

@@bananaapple9737 the Ford exploder. Not reliable! Ford trucks are great, not so much the SUV

[@phayoun]

Does it include with Bose speakers?

[@WesternGMDrumheller]

Yes the Acadia Denali has a 8 speaker BOSE audio system.

[@I90west]

Is this the regular Denali or the Ultimate?

[@WesternGMDrumheller]

In Canada the Acadia Denali only comes loaded with pretty much every option. In the HD and Half-Ton trucks we have an Ultimate option that usually upgrades it with 2" bigger rims, power retractable running boards, Advanced Trailering Pkg & Tech Pkg.

[@danieln54]

I don't like the idea of a PUSH button shifter wtf is that about

[@ady3n694]

the gmc really nice and good but i think 2018 and 2020 one are the same pretty much

[@WesternGMDrumheller]

Yes just small updates to the headlights, taillights and they added HUD (Heads Up Display) to the Denali as standard equipment instead of an add on.

[@ady3n694]

@@WesternGMDrumheller yea i know because my family owns a gmc 2018 one but the 2021 has very cool changes

[@AshokSingh-gg6pi]

[@tomdrummy4984]

Looks like 1986 to me

[@WesternGMDrumheller]

Back to the Future Tom, lol.

[@LCGuitarEDM]

Eu tenho uma dessas, uso pra vender ovo!

[@WesternGMDrumheller]

O Google tradutor disse que você tem um Acádia e que vende ovos! Eu amo o Acádia e amo ovos. Eu como todos os dias no café da manhã, saúde!

[@BaiGrabdotcom]

I don't like the rear styling.
