OSHAWA (Monday. February 22, 2016) – GMC announced pricing for the all-new 2017 Acadia will start at $34,995 when it goes on sale this spring.

The base price is $2,525 less than the 2016 base model and the new Acadia offers more standard equipment, including a new IntelliLink system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility. It also offers an expanded range of active safety features, including Front Pedestrian Braking, Forward Automatic Braking (High/Low Speed), IntelliBeam automatic headlamps, Safety Alert Seat, Lane Change Alert with Side Blind Zone Alert and the Surround Vision camera system.

“Acadia takes GMC’s proven SUV experience to the heart of the midsize crossover segment with a compelling package of great design, the latest technologies and the brand’s signature capability,” said Mike Speranzini, GMC Canada brand director. “Building on the momentum of 2015’s strong sales, it will introduce Acadia to a new generation of discerning customers.”

The new Acadia is 700 pounds lighter, 7 inches shorter and offers three rows of seating on most models. The premium Acadia Denali returns, along with a new All Terrain model offering enhanced off-road capability.

The lineup and starting at MSRPs are:

Acadia SLE FWD – $34,995
Acadia SLE AWD – $37,995
Acadia SLT AWD – $47,295
Acadia All Terrain AWD – $49,390
Acadia Denali AWD – $54,695

The strategic re-scoping of the 2017 Acadia combined with a new, standard 2.5L engine is expected to offer an estimated 8.4 L/100km highway for FWD models. Stop/Start technology, which enhances efficiency in stop-and-go driving, helps achieve an estimated 10.7 L/100km in the city (FWD).

There’s also an available 3.6L V-6 engine that is more powerful and efficient than the 2016 model, while offering 4,000 pounds estimated trailering capability (with the available towing package).

The new Acadia retains a front-drive layout with available all-wheel drive. All models feature a new drive mode selector, which allows the driver to alter chassis and powertrain attributes to suit a variety of driving conditions.
