Gmc adds new crossover suv

GMC has debuted the all-new Acadia SUV in the GCC. The Acadia augments GMC’s line-up with an entry level truck-like SUV and is the first unibody vehicle from the marque. It is also GMC’s first front-wheel drive passenger vehicle and its first crossover SUV.

The Acadia features seating for eight, generous interior space, and either front or all-wheel drive. With a towing capacity of 4,500 lbs (2,041 kg), the Acadia markedly slots between the Yukon and the Envoy in the GMC range. It is available with a responsive 3.6-litre V6 VVT engine that is rated at 301bhp and 339Nm of torque. The power is transferred to the wheels through a new, fuel-efficient Hydra-Matic 6T75 six-speed automatic transmission.

Inside, the Acadia features a contemporary trim that includes chrome and satin nickel textures, and a wider variety of two-toned interior colours. A heads-up display similar to those found in the Cadillac XLR and Chevrolet Corvette is one of the options exclusive to the Acadia thus far.
