GMC SUV Buying Guide

There’s good reason for the recent surge in popularity when it comes to SUVs, as they provide an exceptional mix of efficiency and power. When it comes to this vehicle segment, it’s hard to top the 2020 lineup provided by GMC, which includes the Terrain, Acadia, and Yukon. If you’re having trouble selecting the model that’s just right for you, allow us at Gilland Chevrolet GMC to lend a helping hand.

The Terrain

The Terrain is GMC’s smallest SUV, offering seating for five individuals. Although it’s less spacious than its counterparts, it gets the best fuel economy thanks to its standard 1.5L Turbocharged 4-cylinder engine, which produces an awe-inspiring 170 horsepower and 203 lb.-ft. of torque at a commendable 26/30/27 MPG city/hwy/combined1 fuel economy rating. If you plan on using this ride to tow trailers from location to location, you’ll certainly want to spring for the available 2.0L Turbocharged 4-cylinder system since it provides a 3,500-lb. towing capacity2. This set of wheels might be the right one for you if you put a premium on efficiency over all other factors.

The Acadia

When it comes to size and performance capabilities, the next step up is the Acadia. Providing seating for up to seven individuals, this midsize SUV is an excellent choice if you like to hit the road with your crew. The 2020 iteration comes with three powertrains to choose from, which makes it an ideal vehicle for folks who like to cater the power under the hood to their own tastes. If you want to get where you’re going without it costing you an arm and a leg, go with the standard 2.5L Turbocharged 4-cylinder engine, as it gets a 21/27/23 MPG city/hwy/combined1 fuel economy. However, if you have a boat, you’ll want to go with the available 3.6L V6 system, which offers a substantial 4,000-lb. towing capacity2.
