The 2018 GMC Acadia ranked #15 in Midsize SUVs. Currently the GMC Acadia has a score of 8.0 out of 10 which is based on our evaluation of 23 pieces of research and data elements using various sources.
Pros Upscale interior Smooth ride User-friendly infotainment system
Cons Cramped third row Less cargo space than some rivals
A V-6 engine is optional and provides decent hustle, while the standard four-cylinder engine is the choice for buyers mindful of fuel economy.Handsome styling, a well-connected infotainment system, and room for up to seven passengers make the Acadia an easy family favorite.
Pros Seating for seven, handsome styling, a high-tech cabin.
Cons Uneven interior build quality, disappointing fuel economy, a tight third row and cargo hold.
The 3.6-liter V6 is now available on SLE-1 AWD models. Last year's All Terrain package deleted the third-row seat, but it can now be ordered with the third row intact.
PROS Refined ride quality makes it comfortable in any kind of driving situation Quick acceleration from the optional V6 engine Simple cabin layout means everything is usable at a glance Modern onboard technology keeps you connected
CONS Not many places to store small items Some rival crossovers have more cargo and third-row space Cabin isn't particularly luxurious, even in the priciest trim levels
Hyundai is on a good track. For starters, the new ute looks more grown-up and handsome. The rear glass is more vertical, a boon to headroom for the sort-of-optional third-row seats (more on that later) and cargo space. With shorter overhangs, a longer wheelbase, greater length, and slightly more girth than the ’18 Santa Fe Sport, interior space is up, too. Hyundai increased visibility by employing what it claims is 41 percent more glass area than in the outgoing Santa Fe Sport to nurture the target markets of empty nesters and families moving up from a sedan.
Pros Sharp looks, bigger inside and out than the Sport it replaces, packed with features.
Cons Some low-rent plastics inside; small fuel-economy bump; so which one is this, again?
The 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe is a convincing crossover SUV with room for families and cargo.
Pros Smooth ride Compelling value trims with plenty of features Standard active safety features Spacious interior Sharp style
Cons No available options from the factory 8-speed automatic could use a finishing touch Average fuel economy Thin-feeling cloth and leather
The 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe is redesigned New interior and exterior look New two-row design Part of the fourth Hyundai Santa Fe generation introduced for 2019
Pros Abundant standard features for the money High-quality interior materials Generous warranty coverage Several standard and optional active safety features
Cons High-quality interior materials Base 2.4-liter engine's power and mpg are subpar
