The 2019 GMC Acadia will come to us with minimum improvements in exterior and interior design. However, the GMC Company has not made mechanical changes to the new model. So, we expect that will have the same performance as predecessor with minimal improvements.
This mid-size SUV will be made on the GM T1 platform as well as all models of the second generation. The Cadillac XT5 model also uses this platform.
