But in general, the build quality is strong and Acadia materials are slightly better than its brother, the Chevy Traverse.
Depending on the configuration, the Acadia seats seven passengers (with second row captain's chairs) or eight passengers (with a bench split-folding second row) in three rows. The first and second row seats are quite comfortable and supportive, and split-folding third row seat - an area that is often only children in many traditional SUVs - can accommodate adults in reasonable comfort.

Driving Impressions
Like other major crossings of General Motors, the 2012 GMC Acadia is a delicate balance between security in the handling and comfortable ride. Still, always remember that this is a big heavy vehicle (it weighs nearly 5,000 pounds with four-wheel drive) and feels a bit bulkier than other large crosses on the market. However, compared with the base GMC Yukon, Acadia is a vehicle much more enjoyable and easier to drive. No complaints about the 288-hp V6, and allows you to organize faster in almost any situation and realizes the relatively good fuel economy.
The SL Acadia comes standard with 18-inch wheels, automatic headlamps, fog lights, tinted windows, keyless entry, cruise control, rear air conditioning, a tilt and telescopic steering wheel, OnStar telematics emergency and an audio system with six-speaker CD player, satellite radio and an extra audio jack.
