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.

  The best choice, but not perfect - 2010 GMC Acadia
  By JimM - January 4 - 12:14 pm

  When looking for a AWD SUV that can tow a boat, has enough height to get through the snow storms, a nice ride, 7 seats and easy access to the 3rd row, the choices are limited. We need captains chairs in the 2nd row. The traditional truck SUVs have this, but the 3rd row is either too small or doesnt fold flat. I also wasnt interested in getting 12 MPG or a truck-like ride. The only other SUV that compares to the Acadia is the Flex, but it has a small 3rd row, something we could be regretting when traveling with the inlaws. As you can see from my ratings, performance is ho-hum, but adequate. I havent loaded it up and attached the trailer yet. Best marks for style, utility and quality.

  Just bought the Acadia - 2010 GMC Acadia
  By Kris Rowan - December 9 - 7:28 pm

  I wanted to be sure to comment because one reviewer stated the problem with the Acadia rolling backwards while "DRIVE" only occurs in FWD version-- that is INCORRECT-- the Acadia DOES ROLL BACKWARDS WHILE IN "DRIVE" IN THE AWD VERSION, AS WELL-- I know, because I have the AWD and it rolls backwards on a hill while in "DRIVE" (just like a stickshift car) Other than this strange little quirk, I love this car. I test-drove many of its competitors and kept coming back to the GMC. The very best asset: its VERY comfortable 3rd-row seating. In my opinion, it is the only SUV that has a comfortable, roomy 3rd-row where you dont feel cramped.

  Great - 2010 GMC Acadia
  By Martin - November 3 - 7:29 pm

  Ok 1st The whole thing about it rolling back only happens on the FWD version. this is not a defect. I test drover the fwd and loved it. 2nd i got awd because i have a cabin in the mountains nearby. the vehicle is really roomy and has a great powertrain. The Bose system is great. The display panels look great. very decent acceleration when needed. 288 HP pushes 3196lbs easily. If you are looking for something roomy and made with quality workmanship this would be a great family vehicle. This vehicle will grow with your growing family. seats 8 ot 7 if you opt for captains chairs in the second row. Enjoy.

  Exactly What I Wanted - 2010 GMC Acadia
  By Very Pleased - October 28 - 1:12 pm

  I’m very pleased thus far. Easy to park, feels to be the right size overall. I have only 900 miles on it so far, took one long trip (700 miles) up & down desert mountain Interstates at 75-80MPH and averaged 22MPG. On a local freeway, mostly level at 70-75 I saw a high of 26MPG but mostly 24+ so as they say “Your mileage may vary.” Engine & transmission work very well. If you nail the throttle getting on the freeway and let the engine/trans do their thing, there’s plenty of power to get on the freeway that may result in a big ticket. The dash & controls are laid out very well. I have found no flaws in the paint or trim fit. I am very pleased & will update when I get more miles on it.

  Nice crossover - 2010 GMC Acadia
  By GMC Driver - September 30 - 8:30 pm

  I just have purchased my new Acadia three weeks ago and love to drive it! It has tons of room and is fun to drive. My previous car was a Yukon Denali which was very comfortable but was to large to manuver in parking spaces, the Acadia was a nice replacement for this problem without having to sacrifice comfort! My children love the rear seat entertainment system!

  GM Belt tightening at customers expense - 2010 GMC Acadia
  By Bob - September 22 - 8:23 pm

  I recently took delivery of my Beautiful 2010 GMC Acadia and was a little disappointed to see the little things that GM decided to eliminate or add to the parts dept. inventory for sale. The 2010 model when ordered with the sun roof, has a manual pull rear shade, compared to the power one on past model years. The hitch cover is now an option that you can purchase from the parts dept. in excess of $50.00, and the compass that is listed in their literature is not available if the navigation option is ordered. Too bad they dont add that tidbit in their selling info!! When i questioned the salesman, he replied that GM had to cut back to keep the price down?!! At $50K up from $48K last year?!!!

  Just bought the 2010 Acadia as a gift for my wife. We love the vehicle, it handles smooth, hugs the road, has a little get up and go when needed. Glad we added this vehicle to our garage.
