GMC unveiled its all-new 2013 Acadia crossover SUV on Wednesday at the 2012 Chicago Auto Show. GMC hopes that this redesigned full-size SUV will capitalize on their role as GM's second ranked volume brand.
Introduced in 2006, the Acadia shares the same platform as the Chevrolet Traverse and Buick Enclave. The Acadia is both GMC's first front-wheel drive passenger vehicle and the company's first crossover SUV.
So what's new for 2013? GMC has equipped the 2013 Acadia with a series of styling, technological, performance and safety advancements. Style wise, the all-new Acadia features a redesigned exterior with a more macho facade compared to past years. The 2013 model features a three-bar grille and a new chiseled look. The vehicle's exterior also contains a new spoiler and wraparound rear glass. The 2013 edition also adds high-intensity discharge headlamps and LED running lamps.
In addition to the Acadia's exterior, its interior experienced a noticeable upgrade as well. Some nice touches include new stitching and aluminum trim on select models. Aesthetics aside, the Acadia interior has also undergone a major technological overhaul. New gadgets include GMC's Color Touch Radio, which lets drivers use Bluetooth connectivity for hands-free calling and connecting various devices. Other nifty features are a photo viewer and a back-up camera. As was true with previous Acadia models, the 2013 edition still includes rear-seat entertainment and a Dual SkyScape sunroof.
The Acadia also boasts some improvements under the hood, including an upgraded six-speed automatic transmission. The 2013 model is powered by a 3.6-liter V-6 engine, which produces a maximum of 288-hp. This updated horsepower allows users to tow up to 5000 lbs. As for fuel economy, The Acadia gets EPA-estimated 17/24 mpg in front-wheel drive and 16/23 mpg with all-wheel drive.
Aside from the aforementioned updates, the Acadia's new safety features may be the most significant. The upcoming Acadia features a front center air bag, which when deployed, blows up between front seat occupants. The new Acadia will also include blind-spot detection and rear cross traffic alert, which helps drivers avoid those pesky blind spots.
"While no restraint technology can address all body regions or all potential injuries, the front center air bag is designed to work with the vehicle's other air bags and safety belts to collectively deliver an even more comprehensive occupant restraint system," Gay Kent, GM executive director of vehicle safety and crashworthiness, said in a statement.
Although the Acadia sold 79,000 vehicles last year, which is a high for the model, it still trailed sibling brands, the Buick Enclave and Chevrolet Traverse. Whether the Acadia's new enhancement will help it overtake its rivals remains to be seen.
2013 GMC Acadia will go on sale in late 2012.

2013 Chevrolet Traverse AWD LTZ - WINDING ROAD POV Test Drive
For the best video experience, we recommend wearing a good set of headphones for the POV Test Drive at 2:42. The audio in this video was recorded with binaural microphones that, when played back through headphones, give the feel of 3D sound. Trick stuff.

Instead of the traditional off-road parts, the new Nissan has a CVT and a selectable terrain management system. So how does the Pathfinders selectable AWD system work.

2013 Buick Enclave Luxury Crossover SUV Test Drive & Walkaround Video Review
http://www.autobytel.com/buick/enclave/2013/ Autobytel recently met with Nick Richards Product Communications Manager for Buick. Nick gave us a wonderful walkaround review of the new 2013 Buick Enclave luxury crossover SUV. This vehicle has been dramatically redesigned for the 2013 model year starting from the front end and working all to the way to the back as well as both inside and out. What's even better is that the 2013 Buick Enclave starts out with an affordable base price of $38,445.
The front end design is now much more dramatic and pronounced look that makes the 2013 Buick Enclave look aggressive. The new grille and LED headlights are the first thing people notice when driving down the road. The standard wheels are 18-inch aluminum pieces but you can upgrade to larger 20-inch chrome rims. Along the sides are chrome accents to give the Enclave a sleeker presence. The rear has been totally redesigned featuring a dual Exhaust that has been integrated into the lower bumper diffuser. The LED taillights give this vehicle a dramatic look at night.
The engine is a 3.6 liter direct injection V-6 that makes 288 horsepower and 270 lb-ft. of torque. The transmission is a 6-speed automatic which helps the 2013 Buick Enclave manage 17 MPG in the city and 24 MPG on the highway.
Buick basically redesigned the entire driver's cockpit on the inside of the Enclave for 2013. The premium materials feature live stitching, contrasting materials, high end wood accents, a new center stack with capacitive touch controls, and accent lighting. One great thing about the Buick Enclave is that it is designed to carry people and families. This large crossover SUV can seat up to 8 passengers but you can also opt for Captain's Chairs in the second row.
The 2013 Buick Enclave is a great buy compared to other large crossover SUVs for a couple of reasons. First, the Enclave price point is lower than most the competition. Second, the Enclave is a great looking car with many new enhancements for the 2013 model year. Third, the interior is segment leading thanks to the nice choice of materials. The Enclave has proven to be a good vehicle for the past 5 years and now with this new refresh ups the ante even more.

2012 GMC Acadia Denali Test Drive & Luxury Crossover SUV Video Review
http://www.autobytel.com/gmc/acadia/2012/ The 2012 GMC Acadia Denali might just be the best looking large crossover SUV on the road today. The Denali trim adds a ton of luxury features and conveniences to an already wonderful package. In fact, the Acadia is good choice for those who want a bit of luxury in their 8-passenger vehicle but do not want to pay the premium price that a Cadillac or Mercedes would cost. The full-size GMC Acadia Denali is one very handsome vehicle and the base price on this crossover is $46,810.
The Acadia does not look overly large; instead the proportions are just right. The SUV looks great sitting on its factory 20-inch chrome wheels with black accents. Other exterior features include chrome Exhaust tips, bold wheel arches, and LED taillights. On the inside the Acadia Denali is all luxury and technology. There are 2 different seating options; an 8-passenger set-up or a 7-passenger design that includes captains chairs in the middle. Both the second and third row can fold flat into the floor creating a ton of usable cargo room. The interior materials are very upscale and include leather and wood trim pieces. Technology consists of everything that GMC offers. There is a touch screen navigation system, rear view camera, heated and cooled front seats, Bluetooth, and more. The Dual SkyScape 2-Panel Power Sunroof is nothing short of amazing.
The ride is very refined for a heavy vehicle. The Acadia Denali is ultra comfortable for the up-to 8 passengers which makes this crossover a great road trip choice. Motivation comes via a 3.6 liter V-6 engine that makes 288 horsepower and 270 lb-ft. of torque. The transmission is a 6-speed automatic. The 2012 Acadia Denali FWD model averages 17 MPG in the city and 24 MPG on the highway which is pretty good for such a large vehicle. Other standard include traction and stability control.
