2013 GMC Acadia Focuses on Space

The 2013 GMC Acadia made a splash at the 2012 Chicago Auto Show with its new focus on space, cargo and seating capacity. The Acadia is a great three-row crossover that provides the capacity for vacations, regular carpools and yard projects! Tony Disalle, GMC's Vice President of marketing states, ”With an award winning combination of space, capability and fuel-efficiency, Acadia optimizes GMC’s ‘never say never’ attitude. For 2013, our engineers and designers applied that same attitude to develop the new Acadia.”

Car and Driver describes the 2013 Acadia as "having sharper creases." Acadia has eliminated the soft, rounded nose and the recessed grill from earlier models. The new interior design includes LED lighting and GMC describes the refined interior as placing an "emphasis on soft touch materials with accent French stitching and red ambient lighting across the dash." And since safety is always a priority with GMC products, the rear vision camera is standard in the Acadia.

The Acadia debuted in 2007 and quickly became a hit with families. Last year was the best sales year ever and with the new improvements, GMC dealers like Scott McCorkle’s Liberty Buick GMC is hopeful that drivers will be eager to try the 2013 Acadia. The three rows of seating is a plus for families and groups, and all the gear for just about any outing or activity. The seating and cargo space is ample to get everyone and everything there in comfort with room to spare.

Considering finally building that tree house? The 2013 Acadia is the answer to hauling all the plywood. The 2nd and 3rd rows can be folded down completely flat to accommodate sheets of wood up to 48 inches wide to build the best tree house on the block!
