Overview & Reviews

The 2010 GMC Acadia gets new "Cashmere" leather upholstery on upscale models, slightly revised trim levels, standard 20-inch wheels on the top-of-the-line model and a USB jack for the optional Bose stereo. The six-speed transmission has also been reprogrammed for quicker downshifts.

• Compliant ride, all three rows are spacious, comfortable seats, cavernous cargo space, top crash-test scores.

• Forgettable interior materials, compromised outward visibility, size hampers maneuverability.

  Great Product - 2010 GMC Acadia
  By CTucker - July 9 - 11:33 am

  This is our 4th GMC and first Acadia. So far I am very impressed with the vehicle. While the mileage is not great, you have to consider what you are getting and giving up in mileage. Performance is good for the v6. Interior space is outstanding compared to competitive models while it doesnt feel like a big ship when driving.

  Happy with purchase - 2010 GMC Acadia
  By Cory H - June 30 - 11:05 pm

  About 3,500 miles in 3 months on my AWD SLT 1 and am thus far quite happy with the purchase. Am getting just over the EPA rated gas mileage (mostly city driving) but mileage goes down quickly if running stop & go errands. Still, this is a large vehicle that gets far better mileage than many Crossovers and SUVs of similar size. Great interior design with exception of the complaint in suggested improvements. Biggest complaint is the shifting. Prior year models had issues, so 2010 was reprogrammed. It still needs improvement as it hunts at slow speeds. Engine braking is very noticeable when downshifting at slow speed. My prior GM vehicle did not have this issue.

  Good vehicle with quirks - 2010 GMC Acadia
  By Ernie - June 21 - 8:33 pm

  So far so good very comfortable. Why would they build a car that rolls forward on a hill when car is In reverse? I noticed today vehicle does not roll free it is very noticeable then I read a posted review here that mentions the same observation.

  Great car - 2010 GMC Acadia
  By Danny Cal - June 1 - 5:43 am

  Ive had this car for 4 months and 3500 miles. So far everything is just outstanding. The power, the handling,the comfort and -lets not forget- its also a looker on red. I was so ready to buy the new Sienna and then my wife asked me to also test drive the Acadia. We were immediately hooked. Features like the navigation with Onstar, traffic,DVD, heated memory seats, dual moonroof, remote starter, etc. just make me feel like Im on a spaceship. It has completely changed my mind about American cars. Awesome job GM! PD: Why do so many praise minivans and crossovers that have such a low ground clearance that they hit the front bumper on everything? Just check a loaded Odyssey or Flex.

  Hang On - 2010 GMC Acadia
  By Schiebs - May 25 - 11:25 am

  I have read several reviews related to the vehicle rolling while in gear and this seems to be an issue with many reviewers. I grew up driving a stick, so I can deal with it, but it doesnt seem right that an automatic should roll free while in gear, even on a slight incline. The vehicle also rolls forward or backward up to 12 inches when removing your foot from the brake after putting the vehicle in park when on an incline. The driver has to be sure to ease off the brake until the vehicle comes to rest before passengers exit to void being knocked off balance when the vehicle rolls back hard. My dealer has told me "thats normal." Doesnt seem right to me.

  Excellent Vehicle - 2010 GMC Acadia
  By BettyH - May 22 - 9:35 am

  This is a very nice car. It looks way better than any other crossover that I test drove, but thats a different case on the inside, which is dull and ugly. Despite that, it is one of the best vehicles available. Driving American gives me a sense of pride to.

  2010 Acadia SLT - 2010 GMC Acadia
  By smith2409 - April 25 - 2:03 pm

  I have only had my Acadia for a short time. I really like everything about the Acadia. The ride is great and the gas mileage is better (about 20 in mixed driving) than expected. The Acadia is very confortable with loads of space inside. Handles great and does about everything short of driving itself and almost does that. At this point I would recomend the Acadia to anyone.

  So Far, So Good - 2010 GMC Acadia
  By Fidalgo73 - April 18 - 8:19 pm

  Great ride - smooth and quiet. Seats, Bose stereo, access to controls, all the bells bells and whistles on our SLE are great. Lots of room. Great safety features! Got 19 mpg on the first tank. Feels solid. Transmission shifts smoothly. Limited view out the back windows may be a challenge for towing our boat and backing it up. Maybe GM has finally turned the corner on quality cars and trucks? Overall, we are very happy!

  Love all but seats/headrests - 2010 GMC Acadia
  By Jeff - April 12 - 4:26 pm

  My wife and I traded our 2000 4Runner for the 2010 Acadia. 2nd row captains chairs for our kids as well as easy access to the 3rd row were two of the main selling points. We like everything about the vehicle other than the gas mileage (16.5 MPG overall with much highway driving) and the front seats. The curve of the seat along with the forward angle of the headrest make it impossible to sit comfortably. Ive tried every adjustment possible and cant get my upper back and neck to stop hurting. Kids love it. Friends love the look. The seats are the only problem.
