Is the 2024 GMC Acadia Denali a BETTER midsize luxury SUV than a Lexus TX 350?

[@RaitisRides]

Good morning to the whole Raiti’s Rides family! Let GMC know what you think of the new Acadia in the comment section! Thanks as always for your awesome support!

[@DarkJediChrisG-1425]

I remember when the C-shaped headlights debuted on the 2018 Terrain. I think that was a smart design move by GM and really made me a fan of GMC styling because of that model. Building such a solid family resemblance since then, with the Sierra adopting it for 2019, Yukon for 2021, and now this Acadia for 2024. When you see it go down the road, it says, "I'm GMC. " I am professional grade. "

[@stefangreene3405]

Great work to the hardest working man in the bidness!! GMC looking mighty good Joe!

[@DeadlyDosage]

Professional and sleek review! Top KZbin review in vehicles and our go to guy because it's imperative to know the Twinkie storage space for long road trip! ❤😂😊

[@DeadlyDosage]

And of course we love the re-fined look! Probably going 2025 but otherwise this is a gem! ❤

[@Sant1ag0.]

I like the interior more than the exterior, great job on the over view! Thanks Raitis fam and Steven!

[@RaitisRides]

We appreciate you letting us share it with you!

[@stevefrederick1298]

But wait! The 3rd row seat has electric headrests and they are a big problem! They are failing in huge numbers! Mine are both not and the dealer says parts are unavailable… my seat is stuck down too. The 3rd row seats are not built correctly. Don’t buy one of these until they fix this issue. I wanted to return mine because it was only 4 hours in my possession with 250 miles on it and it had 3 items not working. They said no, we have a deal and we will fix it. But after 5 weeks and numerous calls the fix is unavailable. GM involved now. We shall see what happens. Wait, don’t buy!

[@suzanneflowers2230]

Love, love the classy blue shade, wheels, QUAD EXHAUST, aluminum rear bottom, elongated spoiler, and front grill. Styling makes a statement!!

[@Anonymous-bs8it]

"rub your wood", "bust cream"...sure Raiti haha. I love that GMC is using HVAC buttons! And stylishly implemented.

[@omarcortes5754]

In terms of design I prefer this over the 350, not the biggest fan of having captain chairs in midsize suv's but in general this is a great vehicle.

[@RaitisRides]

Very good points Omar!

[@robberes6799]

The Captain chairs are amazing! So glad they did that! We have a 23 Acadia Denali now, but the 24 I just bought my wife will be here this week. We love the one we have, but the 24 is amazing. We traded a VW Atlas (which was great, for the 23, we just wished the Atlas had Captains seats in the second row. GMC did it right!

[@futurepaver2039]

@@robberes6799The Atlas does offer 2nd row Captain's chairs but only 6 seats on those models. We're annoyed at the fact that an 8 seat bench version of the Acadia isn't even offered

My guess is you’re not a big fan of anything😂

[@kimberly963]

I truly lucked out and got my 2024 AT4 the day after it was delivered. I have had first and second generation Acadia's, (skipped 3rd generation definitely disappointed with the changes) . I could never imagined a come back like the 4th generation Acadia.!!! This vehicle is everything Joe showed and then some!! You have to see it in person, drive in and watch how quickly you will fall in love!!! Thank you GM for brining the Acadia back, bigger, beautiful, and better then ever!! First time watching a review by Joe, he (you) were amazing with your excitement and enthusiasm about this outstanding vehicle!!!

[@RaitisRides]

That is so wonderful to hear! Congrats to you!

[@38jkv56io-u0lt]

These new GM turbos are insanely good. Low end pickup is perfection.

[@KirbyPuffy123]

11:00 Joe ran that stop sign like it wasn’t there 😂

[@GRAFHC]

That looks like a private property stop sign, in South Carolina where he filmed this, private property stop signs are not enforceable by law unless the property owner goes through the process of consent to adhere to the provisions of the South Carolina Uniform Act. Section 56-5-6310. It's possible the stop sign in his scenario is merely a suggestion.

[@crap80]

That's a Wiley E. Coyote stop sign if I've ever seen one...

[@crazedxfighter]

Ikr lol just a guy casually taping his own crimes lmaooo

[@Sparx2010]

You remain one of the best. I love the detailed videos.

[@fordmuscleluis9710]

Good morning Joe glad you got this brand new generation GMC Acadia with two tone leather specific to the denali package super stunning bro

[@mickeybrumfield764]

Nice looking vehicle. The GMC people really know how to do real wood trim. There is plenty of room for king-size Snickers and Twinkies.

[@robberes6799]

Just bought my wife one! We loved our 23 Acacia Denali , but she saw your Detroit Auto Show vid and fell in love. It’s in transit, and hopefully get it Wednesday! Love your reviews, both my wife and I follow you!

[@reynazarate5812]

I like how he does the reviews their not boring like other ones. This one has humor...cracked me w the arm rest in the 2nd row..."what in the hell is this"

[@rickjames6867]

That blue exterior paint is looking presidential. The grill is authoritative. Quad exhaust tips are nice right from the factory. Impressive interior. Love the Bose sound system. Great Job GM. Thanks for another satisfying cup of morning Joe. ☮️👍

[@raymondco2225]

This GMC suv is a home run ❤❤❤

[@Terry-p7t]

I'd rather go with the previous model because it had V6.

[@j2thec472]

That’s the trend. They want to get rid off the V6’s so then when all vehicles in the future are four cylinders the car industries will purposely damaging the engines and transmissions so they can promote more the electric agenda on your brain. About this vehicle the only thing I love is the exterior color and the front grill. Other than that I don’t know WHY to get away from the natural V6 engine other than what I mentioned above ^^^

[@joamigg]

@@j2thec472it’s just business. They don’t absolutely need the v6. Not having it won’t lower sales too significantly so saving money on the turbo smaller engine will make a big difference in their bottom line. Most people aren’t buying this for the power, most want it as a nice larger suv that’s luxury, comfortable, and smooth.

[@G-Rated]

@@joamiggbut in case you were buying the previous generation for the power in the V6, this smaller motor is more durable and actually makes more power with less effort than the 6 cylinder it’s replacing. You’d have to test drive the previous Acadia and the redesign back-to-back to actually feel that increase in power but it’s definitely there. The significant increase in torque from the 3.6L n/a to the 2.5t is underrated.

[@brandonjolley8806]

Joe Joe loves a good door panel :)

[@Jack.Smith80]

Nice headlight style, Joe .as you said , more aggressive and modern. Interior and exterior.awesome.GMC mostly puts top things on the table.❤❤❤

[@davidp2888]

Great design. It's refreshing and just different enough. I love Lexus but some of their design language isn't aging too well.

[@LlyleHunter]

@ davidp2888. I had the ultimate respect for Toyota and Lexus for decades and decades but in the last two cycles they haven’t been bringing their best game. Lots of engine noise, some problems with cooling and fuel systems and their auto-start off of the brake pedal is very jumpy on a lot of models. On the other hand GM has really improved in quite a few segments. I always reference Consumer’s before I pull the trigger with my money.

[@LlyleHunter]

I use their April auto issue and analyze the circles in the repair charts

[@cokecamilo]

Thank you for advocating for people that dislike "fake things" such as fake vents, fake exhausts etc.

[@braxtonthecarlover]

The tech in the Acadia is very nice and in general the auto industry is getting better technology wise

[@theone5404]

You mean American vehicle tech is getting better. The Germans have always been year's ahead.

[@ShepherdMOS]

The 2024 GMC Acadia stands out with its bold grille, sleek LED headlights, and muscular body lines, creating a strong road presence. Inside, it offers a spacious, upscale cabin with premium materials and advanced tech for a comfortable ride. A V6 engine is essential, delivering robust power for smooth acceleration and confident towing capability. The Acadia balances style, comfort, and performance seamlessly.

[@AndreiStrukov]

Love your reviews! Funny and extremely informative! "Get King Size Snickers! Spoil yourself! You worked hard!" - ahahahaha! Humor actually helps to concentrate and retain all the details. You are a naturally talented presenter!

[@RaitisRides]

Thank you for taking the time to say that and for being so supportive!

[@loiseywillis3997]

Thanks Joe and Lori! I always watch you all. I sold my 2023 Yukon Denali, loving my new 2024 Acadia Denali. it fits my giant sons who are 6’5” and 6’6” they are loving the head and foot room. My son says he has more headroom than his new Ram 2500 diesel truck.

[@suIIivan_shane]

This may be my next car. I love it. Thx for your review, Raiti!

[@clandfaf]

Another great review brother! I’m seriously hoping prices normalize at some point or maybe I revisit the Acadia in a couple years used.

[@RaitisRides]

Fingers crossed they do because things are still volatile. Thanks for tuning in!

[@Daveortiz693]

Raiti I've just bought one, 2024 Acadia Denali, this thing is a sleeper, awesome!

[@seabicuit7247]

Always a fan of GMC and their Denali trim. It’s the least important aspect of the car but I would have preferred if they went with Cadillac or Chevy’s infotainment design. I don’t see the appeal of the portrait style screen.

[@mikejames-drummerreginacan1386]

GM continues to hit home runs. Great video as usual Joe. Many thanks !!

[@Edgarr386]

I like how he put the Denali badge front and center in the rear and the GMC logo on the side at the bottom

[@Bowhunters6go8xz6x]

GMC Acadia Denali is a super nice SUV with a lot of interior room plus loaded with comfort and tech, I would definitely buy this over the TX350.

[@kevlar2942]

Hahahaha

[@kosterjm]

Joe - do you prefer the vertical display in the Acadia or the horizontal display in the Traverse?

[@michaellamberti9787]

horizontal

[@benskeen9793]

My mother in law bought the QX60 3-4 months ago, wish she would have held out for this. She didn’t want a Yukon like we have, but this is the perfect compromise and better interior than her QX60 in my opinion. Also, jokes were so on point in this video.

[@kervensferdinand669]

Hey Joe thank you for bringing the new GMC Acadia. Do you know where the hazard button is at? Because I look I can’t find it.

[@RaitisRides]

It’s actually up by the review mirror.

[@kervensferdinand669]

Thank you so much Joe letting me know 🙏🏽

[@derrickwallace4187]

Great Review of the new Acadia Denali! They do a really good job with the interior and exterior. Their tech is great! I'm just disappointed with it being a 4 cylinder. I know fuel efficiency is without a doubt essential. But in a Denali we could've gotten a 6 cylinder.

[@Thebuscommunityleader]

Yes of course Joe & I will try to buy this SUV.

[@kristopherlroseboro2821]

The new Acadia looks great!

[@mwinner101]

The blue exterior color is perfect. I’m too messy for that interior color tho.

[@anthonywisdom9214]

I wish it had that dark brown interior of the Yukon

[@The_Hi_Life]

Loving this new Acadia Denali and AT4, and also the new Traverse Z71! Normally I prefer GMC over Chevy but that new Traverse is 🔥🔥🔥

[@jacobclark8392]

Those wheels and suspension are not standard on the Denali. You need to get the Denali Reserve package which requires super cruise to get the 22" wheels and performance suspension.

[@Theonestrongbusleader]

Nice job Joe & I like the style on this vehicle.

[@LuisUrbieta]

Viva GMC!

[@SpringfieldTony]

Joe - let's go golfing in one of these new Acadia's - plenty of room for the clubs & gear - plus TWINKIES, love tony

[@Kingjames313]

Still in my 2016 Acadia Denali and always loved the Acadia, those seats look beautiful!, but geez these new prices hurt! I’ll probably be forced to always buy the depreciated value unless I hit the lotto. But I do enjoy the Acadia a lot!

[@Stanley112803]

Denali trim should have more horsepower than lesser models

[@TheDiveWatcher]

I like the new Acadia a lot and I'll like the AT4 even better, but I guess I will be in the minority in that I much prefer the previous body style much more. Especially the previous body style AT4 because it's a tad smaller and thus more nimble. In f a fact I plan to get a 22 model Acadia v6 AT4. Even a 21 possibly. Great review, Joe! Will you be reviewing the AT4 Acadia? I'd love to see it if you plan to!

Only vehicle i have loved more than my 09 duramax was my 2010 chevy 1500 extended cab short box with a 6.2 in it. That truck was stupid fast from factory, i put a cold air intake on it and a flowmaster 3.5” exhaust and an edge programmer. Brought that truck down to 5.5 seconds 0-60. I sold it because i needed a diesel to pull things but i miss that old 2010 6.2 so much

I find it charming that the new Acaida kind of has a Hofmeister kink on the rear quarter window and I also think that this is an overall very handsome SUV.

[@DarkJediChrisG-1425]

Great job with GMC. Now Joe this has me curious, I'm sure you saw the 2025 Terrain and Yukon photos of them testing in the wild with no camo. Does this mean we could expect a reveal sooner rather than later brother?

[@38jkv56io-u0lt]

Yes. Terrain coming soon. Yukon don’t know

[@ag4eng]

The Lexus TX looks like it was designed by someone who was working from home, proceeded to cut/paste the Grand Highlander CAD file because deadline was 4pm. The GMC Acadia Denali looks so much nicer with color combo including the quilted seats and wood. But another 4-banger turbo for more than $60k.

[@mikem8145]

At 27:40 in SuperCruise the steering keeps ajusting left and right. I'm guessing that's Lane Keeping Assist doing that? Itseems really annouying! No?

I love my old 2017 Acadia, i know people hated that 3.6 engine but just change oil at 5-6000km and those vehicles will not let you down. Don’t follow the manufacturer suggestion at 12,000km. I change the oil on the acadia just like i do on my 98 sierra. My duramax is do at 8000km but i run rotella t6 in it.

Had a 2020 Acadia a few years ago and never liked the shape of the rear window on the sides for the 3rd row passengers. I don't like the way it gets smaller, they need to square it off like a Yukon, and it would really give it an even bolder look.

Joe is sure missing Lori 😂❤ Tell GMC my bride will absolutely love this as a replacement for her 2015 Acadia Denali.
