| 2011 GMC Acadia Denali, an AW Drivers Log: Posted: 20 Jan 2011 07:46 AM PST  The GMC Acadia Denali is powered by a 3.6-liter V6 rated at 288 hp.
EDITOR WES RAYNAL: This is as good a crossover as the other Lambda-platform vehicles, and if you need extra room over, say, a Chevrolet Equinox or a GMC Terrain, I suppose these bigger utes are the ticket. In this class, it's this and the Ford Flex in my book. The Acadia is roomy and comfortable. The interior materials could use an upgrade, especially in a car costing just more than $50,000, a price which shocked me. The too-high sticker is thanks to the Denali package, which adds a whopping $11,000 to the Acadia's sticker. What does the Denali package get you? Try a chrome grille, unique fascia front and rear, 20-inch chrome wheels, HID headlights, rocker moldings and dual chrome exhaust tips. Then, for the interior, there are more sound-deadening materials, leather on the seats and door panels, plus a bunch of other luxury stuff such as a dual sunroof, heated and cooled front seats, and head-up display. I'd just get a regular Acadia, in all honesty. Driving it was fine, though. The all-wheel drive made the snowy streets a snap, and there's decent power here. The ride was fine with little body roll and the cabin was quiet thanks to the added sound insulation. 2011 GMC Acadia Denali Base Price: $45,995 As-Tested Price: $50,125 Drivetrain: 3.6-liter V6; AWD, six-speed automatic Output: 288 hp @ 6,300 rpm, 270 lb-ft @ 3,400 rpm Curb Weight: 4,925 lb Fuel Economy (EPA/AW): 19/18.6 mpg Options: Touch screen with navigation, rearview camera display, satellite traffic ($1,890); DVD entertainment system ($1,445); white diamond tri-coat paint ($795) |
