On the inside there is a 15in infotainment screen, leather interior and more passenger volume. Under the hood is a 2.5L turbocharged inline-4.

Looks like a baby yukon

[@RaitisRides]

You are spot on the money.

[@TheWonder-Sparkster]

@@RaitisRidesin a good way

[@redemptionaxe]

More like mama terrain

[@futurepaver2039]

The yukon looks very different to me especially from the side

[@dallasfrost1996]

You can definitely see Yukon up in the front end.

[@MichaelScrip]

That's a sharp-looking SUV. I've always preferred the GMC version of a vehicle versus the Chevy version. 😎

[@RaitisRides]

I totally agree with you

[@J_Floress]

Have you not seen the 2024 Chevy Traverse?!

[@brandonsnyder628]

Just happy they finally made it larger. Was stupid they brought it out smaller than the traverse to start with.

[@michigantoga]

Prefer it against the Cadillac XT6 as well, GMC Yukon Denali is very sweet looking!

[@LeoRoblesss]

2024 Chevy Traverse is way nicer

[@TJsWorldHub]

DANG! I can’t wait to get this Acadia looking so beautiful thanks for filming Raiti good video

[@stefangreene3405]

Very nice vehicle! GMC Arcadia definitely holds its own in a very competitive market. Great review as always Joe And Lori

[@tomdrummy4984]

Interior looks amazing. I like what they did with the vertical center screen 👍

[@briandenisefarmer333]

I would agree. Bit of a hybrid between Ram truck and Jeep Grand Cherokee verticals… but better. As vertical infotainment screen go… this one looks fantastic

[@JimJWalker]

I do not like the "iPad glued to the dash" look. No, thank you.

[@dallasfrost1996]

​@@briandenisefarmer333 It looks like a combination of Ram's and Ford's vertical screens.

[@enriquelajara1686]

Your reviews are always fun to watch. Keep it up and oh your videographer is awesome too.

[@joebrito2066]

Awesome to see the 2024 Traverse platform for the Acadia. GMC raised the bar with this Denali. Great video Joe!

[@RaitisRides]

Thanks fir letting me share this one with you Joe.

[@carmania5282]

This Suv from GMC is taking these good things to the next level. Thank you Joe for reviewing it.

[@johnrichards3666]

Wow! It doesn't look like a GM product on the inside. FINALLY!

[@RaitisRides]

The changes are well done

[@G-Rated]

It actually does. This _is_ a *gm* interior and it came from the GMC Sierra EV.

[@jonmilburn5259]

Yep I wish I could go look at it today. Looks worth waiting to check though. Thanks again for the thorough look at it. Nice job

[@MegaRetr]

Interior looks amazing.

[@tomt48haul]

This Acadia is the best looking SUV I have ever seen. I was totally taken back when I first saw this on KZbin. You do a great job Joe on all your presentations. I just love this vehicle. For the size it really has the space all the way around. Just beautiful Joe. Thanks a million.

[@cantwealljustgetalong2]

yeah you say that now. wait till you see a bunch of base versions all over the place in a few months. itll look ordinary to you

[@bigmeech8822]

Keep up the good work Joe! Love your show

[@RaitisRides]

Thank you my friend

[@radientproductions9799]

looks amazing , I just hope they make enough. The problem right now in this segment is lack of availability.

[@futurepaver2039]

I love the piano key shapes headlight inserts on the sides

[@rockylee3281]

Nobody does a review better than Lori and Joe! Love the new 2024 Acadia!!! Love that color combo both inside and out! A winner!

[@tomwujek4867]

Finally, the GMC Acadia stepped up its game and this is easily one of the sharpest looking midsize SUVs to be hitting the market. Well done! Now if the new powertrain has good reliability over time, that will be a bonus.

[@stephenwinter8892]

Hi Joe and Lori from southern Ontario Canada thanks for sharing this video

[@johngayo8149]

Currently have a 2017 Acadia SLE with 81k miles. It has been a very reliable car and spacious. Looking forward to the new Denali.

[@peeweeacres]

What a beautiful ride GM really hit it out of the park only one mistake this big boy need a V6!

[@G-Rated]

When have you test drive this new 2.5T revised 8-speed setup in order to come to such a conclusion?

[@AllenTolbert-ld9ms]

V6 engine Needed

[@ryanb8736]

GM had to cut back overhead, so smaller engines made sense. People care more about tech than the engine.

[@dlasti]

I think I would get this one only because of the vertical infotainment system, but the new Traverse Z71 is the rugged way to go.

[@LasCruces_hometours]

Thank you for this video!!!!!!

[@RaitisRides]

You are so very welcome!

[@franzvanjulio5523]

I dig this, Joe. Thanks for presenting it. I’d love one of these that’s comfortable like a couch.

[@jgs1564]

Very impressive redesign of the Acadia. Great review too, although I’m surprised you didn’t zonk the exposed rear wiper 😮

[@OmarNasim]

Absolutely loving the first look. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@peterstgeorge7542]

Nice truck, very nice color as well. You forgot to show the deep storage well under the back storage panel. Cant wait to get pricing and see it for real !!

[@rhlm_eddy1814]

Even though there are some cars I’m not really interested in seeing reviewed, I still watch them if they’re from you Joe I just overall love your content been watching you since 300k subs💯

[@JoshuaQuintanapr]

This is amazing. They definitely nailed it with this

[@omarcortes5754]

A nice exterior design with an exquisite interior. It looks really good.

[@RaitisRides]

Very well said Omar

[@abe_ismain]

Great stuff

[@nancyrae66]

Wow! Was going to go with the 24 Traverse- Z71- this has me rethinking ♥️

[@mystictk4149]

Love the new layout for everything. It's a top choice for sure and as it should be.

[@kE0N420]

GMC did well on this!!! I have a 2020 GMC Acadia AT4 at the moment and the lease is up in November, I am really interested in this. I just hope it comes sooner then later so i can get into this after my lease is over.

[@StephonBroughton]

Might be able to order one and do lease extensions since you’d be purchasing from the same brand. My grandpa had to do that with his ford explorer. His lease was up during the chip shortage

[@davidp2888]

Nice ride!

[@user-fz2vy6gs9k]

As an owner of 3 pervious Acadia Denali's, love that they made it bigger. Only concern is the gear shifter where the windshield wipers were. Could be a problem.

[@alanklaus7774]

The Acadia may get both the most changed and most improved of the show. Joe and Lori are keeping busy. Joe you have done your homework. Good job.

[@flubberlane8437]

I like that GMC grill. It’s glitzy but looks good 😀

[@RaitisRides]

Great changes have been done

[@Thebusdriverandgamermorefan790]

My favorite new GMC Acadia SUV I can buy.

[@celo8019]

I’ve been waiting for you to upload your take on this all new Acadia. Out of the 3 videos I’ve watched, you always do it the best, Joe! That being said, I love the way the Acadia looks now. Before it was so cheap and bland. Now this is a perfect choice to want something like the Yukon without the massive size of the Yukon. All they have to do is make and keep their products reliable for owners and they’re going to sweep the market. Well done GM!

[@itst1266]

I can’t wait until this goes on sale!!!! 😍

[@chadmark88]

Great review . . I've been looking on line at the XT6 for quite a few months, now . . . after seeing the new Acadia, I'm going to have to wait until I can take one for a test drive ( luckily, my local dealer sells both of them )

[@darrengodbee3397]

Gmc did a great Job on this vehicle Lori did a great job as well Joe did a tremendous job here as usual I’d def buy this car in this color combo as well Thanks guys

[@kellytamborski1534]

GMC nailed it! And love the new color too

[@ChrisGelo-2468]

I'm digging this new Acadia Joe. The interior and tech is my favorite. The back taillights look like a cross between a Pacifica and the Grand Highlander. Also I think the headlights look too much like the Terrain but I heard the Terrain will be redesigned for 2025 so it'll cancel it out pretty much.

[@RaitisRides]

You are correct

[@TheWonder-Sparkster]

True it reminds a second generation highlander

[@RaitisRides]

@@TheWonder-Sparksterbut better

[@TheWonder-Sparkster]

@@RaitisRides you read my mind💜💜💜

[@fanofMcGonagall]

For this to only receive one Zonk speaks great volumes! I fell in love with this the moment I laid eyes on it Wednesday morning when I went to their website to look at the pictures. Do we know whether they will have the foot/ motion sensing liftgate feature? When I have both hands full, that feature alone can have the car pay for itself!

[@kenyongillespie8652]

Very good looking vehicle! But I wish all car companies would put the B-pillar behind the back of the front seat. To give more shoulder room. Thanks for the video! Great job as usual!

[@lexxy3638]

Yes I love it from a former owner of a gmc there pretty great 👍

[@mckinleywilliams2403]

Awesome! GM needed this vehicle 5+ years ago.

[@dominickirkwood]

Joe keep up the good work real true and I love the video real true 👍

[@Hogwarts-Dropout]

I guess I'm one of the few who wants and actual mid-size SUV. I have a 2020 Acadia Denali AWD and love how it looks. It's the perfect size, just needed an interior refresh. I love the interior updates in this, but hate that they made it larger and more bloated-looking. Kinda looks like a honda pilot now. I guess my next vehicle will be the Acura MDX or the Mazda CX90, cause it's definitely not going to be this new Acadia.

[@tpcthepatrickchannelOFFICIAL]

Yay I'm first viewer. I've seen this Acadia like 20x now. Bro, it is the best of the best.

[@RaitisRides]

It’s great to have you here!

[@JJAVA-wt6eo]

another different model another beauty but what really got me was the PORTRAIT TOUCH SCREEN..... FINALLY!!! I hate hate hate touch screens, old school, but this one!!!! WOW

[@petemcfeet28]

Nice. I miss 5 passenger SUV'S with cavernous flat floor storage. We are all going to one day be very nostalgic for V6 power as well. It was just so honest. As always, nice work from the Raiti's Ride team. Cheers!

[@RaitisRides]

Thank you being so supportive!

[@davewilson7602]

Honda Passport still fits that, or maybe a Blazer/Murano?

[@danielmiedema5836]

Least they got rid of the push button shifter

Love this new Arcadia. Can't wait for it to come out. Any pricing yet? Love all your reviews. Great job.

[@user-sj3bq6yi1h]

its awesome. except that no screens on the second row headrest

Thats sharp, i love it.

[@RaitisRides]

I’m glad you are digging it

[@yougotmossed3592]

Looks good!

[@sicariosicario9889]

Finally they made the interior look like a modern lux suv !!!

[@philanderlisayoung9496]

I wish they had ventilated seats on the 2nd row, and heatedband ventilated on the 3rd row. and hopefully, they have a camera view when you use the turn signal like hyundai does

[@bakesx2]

I had a 2017 Acadia Denali and I thought it was the perfect size. Only two seats in the third row, but really easy to park. For more room, there's always the Yukon.

[@DannerBanks]

I have a top trim Telluride but this car is beautiful

[@mrod9382]

I just bought a Acadia 2023 brand new like 6 months ago. i will be trading in for the 24 model, most definitely.

[@michaelcoello9319]

I heard this car drop and instead of searching 24 Acadia, no hesitation I typed Raitis Ride 💯

[@nakedrider07]

My wife has a terrain and I’m impressed with this. I think I’ll get her to buy this as her next suv

[@Cocora22]

I have never been an Acadia fan but I like the new design. I'm wondering if the center stack, new shifter and tail badging are going to be on the full size Yukon Denali, I'm betting they will be. Lexus should learn how to conceal the seats like they did here. The puny engine makes it a no go for me but aesthetically I like it.

[@crystallazzara1197]

I CANNOT wait until this new model year is available for purchase. I'm just about ready for a new SUV and GMC Acadia Denali is at the top of my list.

[@billeichenberger5370]

Beautiful new Acadia but I personally don’t like the portrait style screen. Much prefer horizontal displays. But it’s definitely nice. Thanks Joe & Lori.

[@wardellward]

They totally reinvented the GMC Arcadia

[@RaitisRides]

You are so very right about that!

[@wardellward]

@@RaitisRides They did an excellent job

[@mrlancekink]

Super cruise will be available on all 3 trim levels. Hope that’ll be true for the 2024 Yukons too. Great review. It looks nice but like others, I’m concerned about the engine having enough power (and reliability)

[@cantwealljustgetalong2]

why is super cruise such a big deal to you guys? i think ive used cruise control like twice in my life

[@craigsouder9334]

love the alloy wheels on gmc..very very sharp..

[@SingingVesselforHIM]

It really is my prayer that GMC considers incorporating an Acadia Denali Ultimate as one of the trims in the 2025 lineup..... #Can'tWaitToCustomOrderMines..... #GM #GMC

[@jeffs6090]

All Denali trucks needs to have the Ultimate trim as an option!!

[@SingingVesselforHIM]

@@jeffs6090 Fully Agreed!!

[@trumpisastump9382]

Yes, just ask your imaginary magic wizard in the sky for more luxury in your SUV.

[@creedbratton2151]

Very nice updated Acadia👍 Not a big fan of small turbo 4 banger? This Acadia with the 5.3 would be popular with families looking for more power and towing but at a better price point of the Yukon.

[@bradl1982]

Would love that new Acadia with the 5.3.

[@975warman]

Definitely the vehicle I want to upgrade to. I have a 2012 Acadia Denali. I love the vehicle, and I can't wait till this one comes out!
