The Acadia receives a facelift for 2020, with a new grille, newly standard LED headlights, and revisions to the rear end. There's also a new turbocharged 2.0-liter engine—standard on the SLT and Denali trims—which GMC estimates will have 230 horsepower when it goes on sale late in the model year. The trim lineup has expanded to include an AT4 model, which brings off-road-inspired design (including 17-inch wheels fitted with all-terrain tires) to the Acadia lineup.
Pros Attractive design, improved infotainment, plenty of in-cabin storage space.
Cons Quality doesn't match price, cramped third row, unimpressive fuel economy.

Cons Active safety tech should be standard A little narrow inside Push-button shifters not our favorite
Pros Powerful turbocharged engine Handsome updated styling Standard active safety tech
Cons Luxury Avenir trim will be expensive The brand doesn't command as much respect as some competitors
