Seeing a surge in the popularity of the segment of crossover SUVs, most of the leading automakers now are busy to launch their own models of crossovers to stay afloat in this tight competition. The concept of crossover SUV that has combined the utility and capability of SUVs with the comfort level of compact family cars now are enjoying an upper hand in the automotive industry where the sales record of crossover SUVs are much higher than any other family car types.

The 2020 GMC Acadia is one such crossover SUV model that a buyer will choose over many other compact car models, be it the sedan or hatchback style. The 2020 GMC Acadia model series being able to serve all the utility purposes, while punching in some drive fun and equally impressive ride comfort is now a well-known name in its own segment, confirmed the staff members of the Watsonville GMC dealership. They further added that there are all the right reasons behind the popularity of this GMC crossover, which they eagerly shared with us.

Power of a Truck

The 2020 edition of GMC Acadia as a three-row crossover SUV that is overdosed with the power of a truck. GMC, which is an automotive brand, known for manufacturing heavy vehicles continued to build up its products with the same amount of power.

The 2020 model year edition of GMC Acadia uses a 2.0-liter turbo-4 engine which is a new addition this year, that can make 230-horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque when mated to a 9-speed automatic transmission. The transmission too has replaced the earlier 6-speed one.So overall this new powertrain combination earned lots of accolades for its engaging ride qualities, while its stop/start feature helped the 2020 GMC Acadia in increasing its overall fuel efficiency.

There are two more engine options, one being the 193-hp rated 2.5-liter inline-4 that at the base trim and the optional 3.6-liter V-6 engine that is able to crank out 310-hp.

Other Important Features

Lining up as SLT, AT4, and Denali trim models, the 2020 GMC Acadia justifies the increased amount of price for the trim levels in the same ascending order by spiraling up the levels of comfort, convenience, and safety.

On the infotainment side GMC installs two extra USB Type-C ports to the center console as a standard feature on every 2020 Acadia trim model. in the list of optional features, there is a new head-up display along with a 15-watt wireless charging pad that help keep the electronic devices stay charged all the way.

Utility Value

It is from the other buyers of the 2020 Acadia at the Watsonville GMC dealer showroom that we came to know how useful is the crossover from GMC. It is spacious enough to accommodate as big a group of travelers of seven along with all their personal belongings, while its effective driving dynamics and high end noise cancellation system team up to deliver an engaging and exciting ride experience.
