GMC ACADIA & GMC TERRAIN FEATURES

ACADIA SIZE AND SPACE
The 2022 gmc acadia can hold up to six passengers, with three rows to utilize. with the rear seat up, there’s 12.8 cubic feet of cargo space, enough for groceries or bookbags, making the acadia the perfect carpooling suv.with the third row stowed away, the acadia provides 41.7 cubic feet of cargo space, a great mix of space for people and things.with both the second and third rows stowed, you can expand the acadia’s maximum cargo space up to 79 cubic feet, ideal for when you’re gearing up for long road trips with a co-pilot, or solo.

TERRAIN SIZE AND SPACE
With its smaller footprint, the 2022 gmc terrain will be easier to squeeze into some of the tight parking in the city. this comes with a little less interior space—but also some pleasant surprises.unlike the acadia, the terrain only seats five, but it is seating for five full-sized adults. not having that third row gives the terrain 29.6 cubic feet of cargo volume behind the second row. that’s not “everyone’s bookbags” room, that’s “everyone’s full-sized travel luggage” room.out moving furniture? picking up gear for a diy project? stow the terrain’s second row to open up 63.3 cubic feet of space, great for couches, patio furniture, and more.

The terrain does have one extra trick up its sleeve, though. the front passenger’s seat can fold flat, making it so the right side of the vehicle is open from back to front, which is great for storing objects up to eight feet long.
It opens up the cargo space that much more, meaning that even though it has a smaller footprint and smaller exterior measurements, the terrain can offer more cargo space than the acadia—and almost every other mid-size suv on the market.

Which do you need more of: passenger or cargo space?

ACADIA PERFORMANCE
Choose from a 2.0L turbo 4-cylinder engine, or a 3.6L V6 in the GMC Acadia. The standard 2.0L is the more fuel efficient of the two, getting a 2022 EPA-estimated 22 city/29 highway MPG. In addition, it puts out 228 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque, which is great for your average commutes and adventures.For a more hopped-up ride, the optional 3.6L engine offers 310 horsepower and 271 lb-ft of torque—plenty for overtaking others on the Long Island Expressway. The fuel economy sacrifice isn’t that drastic, either, as you’ll get a 2022 EPA-estimated 19 city/27 highway MPG.

The V6 engine also offers more towing capacity when properly equipped, capable of hauling 4,000 pounds, compared to the 3,000-pound capability of the previous turbo engine.

TERRAIN PERFORMANCE
The GMC Terrain offers an impressive 1.5L turbo 4-cylinder engine. With this model, you can have an output of 170 horsepower and 203 lb-ft of torque. That speed and strength is paired with a fuel-efficient, 9-speed automatic transmission. Drive steadily as the gears shift appropriately for you, letting you focus on the road.With its fuel efficiency, you can get ready to reduce your number of pit stops while you’re driving around. With this engine and drivetrain combination, you’ll have a 2022 EPA-estimated 25 city/30 highway MPG. The engine is perky, great for around town, and capable on the open road.

What is it you need from your drive? Higher performance? More reliable fuel efficiency?

STANDARD DRIVE ASSISTS
Every trim of the Acadia and Terrain comes with a type of rear vision camera system, making it easier and safer to back in or out of busy city streets when you’re out shopping at Organic Krush.Active safety features such as Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, Forward Collision Alert, and Automatic Emergency Braking are standard on Terrain and Acadia models, because GMC feels that advanced safety equipment should be available regardless of what size truck or car you want.

These systems can help you keep aware of your driving habits and stay safe on the road. For example, Forward Collision Alert monitors the world ahead of the vehicle. If the sensors and cameras detect a potential collision, it can warn you, giving you time to safely apply the brakes.

The GMC-exclusive Teen Driver feature is standard on every trim of both vehicles, allowing you to observe your teen driver and coach them—even when you aren’t sitting in the seat next to them—by automatically engaging certain drive assists and limiting some features.

OPTIONAL DRIVE ASSISTS
Keep aware of the world around you with the optional HD Surround Vision system. This system utilizes the cameras placed around the vehicle’s exterior, building up an image of the surrounding area. With this, you can take advantage of dynamic guidelines to help you when parking and more.Check out the different angles, and keep aware of your surroundings on your commutes.

HOW DO THEY LOOK FROM THE OUTSIDE?
Both models can offer you 17-inch standard wheels, with options in 18-inch varieties. On the 2022 Acadia, you’ll have the bonus of additional options in 20-inch sizes. The Terrain goes as big as a 19-inch wheel. Any of these sizes will serve as a great foundation for your long trips and everyday excursions in these powerhouse SUVs.Light up your path by utilizing LED headlamps that come standard with both models. These powerful beams will help cut through the darkness when you drive after sundown and give you maximum visibility.

The Terrain also comes with automatic headlamps that will turn on when the system detects it’s dark enough for their use. Both GMC SUVs have Intellibeam® Auto Highbeams, which will automatically apply your high beam lights when appropriate (e.g., when no nearby cars are detected).

READY FOR THE OFF-ROAD?
Both models are built ready to take you steadily around town for your daily grocery runs, commutes to the office, and journeys home. More than that, they’re also prepared to head off the beaten path.
These GMC SUVs can get it all done with the Traction Select System.On the Acadia, you have the choice to change drive modes, including Normal, Snow, Sport, and (if equipped) Trailer/Tow mode. If you need some extra kick in the winter, extra kick for a sporty drive, or are hauling a trailer, you can customize your drive to fit your needs. Then, the optional Off-Road mode can take you out for adventures.

The available Traction Select System on the Terrain works similarly. Pick between 4-wheel drive (FWD), AWD, and off-road to get the performance that you need. Looking to conserve gas? Get extra traction? Embrace the path less travelled?
