Its predecessors were three minivans: GMC Safari, GMC Envoy XL / XUV and Pontiac Montana SV6. The main competitors today are the Lexus RX and Acura MDX. The GMC Acadia crossover is based on the GM Lambda platform with a long wheelbase, which is 3020 mm.
This platform is also used in cars Saturn Outlook and Buick Enclave. Its use has reduced the center of gravity of the car, which added stability when driving on the highway and in corners.

And the intelligent all-wheel drive system provides increased traction on slippery roads without driver intervention. The front suspension has a McPherson design, and the rear one was designed according to a new “H” design, which made it more compact and more mobile.

Also as standard, the car is equipped with 18-inch wheels and disc brakes with anti-lock braking system ABS on all wheels. As an option, 19-inch wheels can be installed.
