2014 GMC Acadia shows off need for full-size SUV
Eight-passenger seating, lots of cargo space pace new SUV
SAN ANTONIO, Nov. 27, 2013 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- It is fairly plain to see why mid-size and smaller crossover SUVs have become popular. There is, however, still a very strong calling full-size, eight-passenger vehicle that can easily become one of the most flexible cargo haulers on the road. By and large, the 2014 GMC Acadia has not been drastically changed from the previous model-year. In a sign of the times, the new GMC Acadia adds a pair charge-only USB ports to help those who can't seem be without their portable electronic devices. Additionally, some safety systems have been added to the top-end Denali trim on the 2014 GMC Acadia available at Cavender Buick GMC West.

A full-size crossover SUV requires full-size power. A 3.6-liter, V-6 engine sits under the hood of the 2014 GMC Acadia that can produce a maximum of 288 horsepower and 270 pound-feet of torque. Power is sent to the wheels via a six-speed automatic transmission. Potential buyers also have a choice between having front-wheel or all-wheel drive. Despite the large size of the 2014 GMC Acadia, the V-6 engine still allows for a zero-to-60 mpg time of 8.6 seconds, a score right in line with the rest of the automotive segment. With the proper accessories added to the 2014 GMC Acadia, it will record a maximum towing ability of 5,200 pounds.
One of the most popular ways current owners of the new GMC Acadia have customized the interior of their SUV is to choose between a second row with captain's chairs or a bench seat. The former gives maximum comfort to the rear passengers, while the latter choice maximizes seating capacity. When all three rows are deployed for passengers, there are still 24 cubic-feet of space to work with. As owners start folding and/or removing the seats that space quickly expands to 70 cu-ft behind the second row; all the way up to a very large 116 cubic-feet.
