2017 GMC Acadia (Middle-East)
The 2017 GMC Acadia that was launched in the USA in
May will go on sale across showrooms in the Middle East this October. The
all-new model will be available in three trim levels: SLE, SLT and Denali; the
base SL trim level is being skipped for the Middle East.
Positioned between the compact GMC Terrain and the
full-size GMC Yukon, the GMC Acadia mid-size crossover is available in 5-, 6-
and 7-seat seating layouts. The second generation model shares the E2XX
platform with the Cadillac XT5, and is 318 kg lighter than the outgoing model.
The ME-spec 2017 GMC Acadia is powered by the LGX
310 hp 3.6-litre V6 petrol engine which is paired to a 6-speed automatic
transmission and an electronically controlled drive mode selector. The
significant weight reduction has resulted in the crossover becoming more
efficient – the front-wheel drive models are claimed to have a fuel consumption
of 9.1 L/100 km (highway).
The 2017 GMC Acadia is priced from US$ 35,299, while the 2017 GMC Acadia Denali starts at US$ 54,321. The Middle East will source the all-new model from GM’s Spring Hill
(Tennessee) assembly facility in the USA.
