Trim Levels

Four trim levels cover the 2023 Acadia lineup. The two base models, the SLE and SLD, have the same base styling, while the AT4 and the Denali, which round off the lineup, each has unique styling features of their own. All models have a choice of front-wheel or all-wheel drive except the AT4, which is only available with all-wheel drive.

The AT4 is a sportier model than the others and comes with Active Torque Control to improve road handling at speed, which is unavailable on the other three. The Denali, on the other hand, is all about luxury and includes features such as Head-Up-Display and both 8-way powered driver and passenger seats as standard.

Styling Features

The styling of the Acadia provides an assertive image for the road, with the AT4 and Denali models particularly imposing. The base models feature a standard chrome grille and 18″ aluminum wheels, while the AT4 is equipped with a special black grille, black chrome details, and powerful looking 17″ black wheels with all-terrain tires. The Denali is even more sophisticated, with a striking signature grille and 20″ aluminum wheels producing a refined look.

Engine Performance

The Acadia lineup has two different engine sizes available, a 2.0L 4-cylinder and a 3.0L 6-cylinder, depending on the choice of model. Both are potent units giving out 228 and 310 horsepower respectively: more than enough to deal with most driving situations.

Both engines are paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission, which sends power to the front wheels or all the wheels, depending on the variant. All the models across the lineup have a 21.7 gal tank which can give a cruising range of at least 412 miles in city driving conditions and considerably more on the highway.

Safety Technology

When it comes to safety, the Acadia has some of the best technology available. All models come with the Acadia Pro Safety Plus, which includes a comprehensive set of safety systems, such as Forward Collision Alert, Automatic Emergency Breaking, and Side Blind Zone Alert, just being three.

Advanced Features

There is more to the Acadia than just style and power, it has several useful pieces of tech and an intelligent interior design that makes everyday life easier. Features such as keyless open and start, dual climate control or a hands-free programmable liftgate are available, while the clever interior provides up to 79 cu ft of cargo space.

The 2023 Acadia lineup is clearly impressive, with its imposing looks, power, and advanced features setting it apart. With an SUV this special, you should take it out on the road and see for yourself. Book a test drive by visiting us at Coughlin GM of Newark today, and we can arrange one at the best time for you.
