I’m ready to upgrade from my small sedan to a larger SUV, and I’ve had my heart set on an Acadia. But unfortunately, my budget only allows me to buy a used model. What is the best year for a used GMC Acadia?
, we’d have to recommend the 2015 Acadia, which stands apart from the crowd for its comfortable ride, generous cargo space, and lasting reliability.
Comfort. A powerful engine, balanced handling, and quiet ride come together to make the 2015 Acadia one of the most comfortable rides in its class.
Space. Not only does the 2015 Acadia seat up to eight passengers comfortably—but with the rear seats folded down, you could find a staggering 116.1 cubic feet of cargo space in the back.
Reliability. With a respectable score of 4.0/5.0 from J.D. Power and 7.9/10 from U.S. News, the 2015 Acadia boasts above-average reliability ratings compared to other crossover SUVs.
Generally speaking, however, you should be fine in almost any second-generation GMC Acadia. The second generation of these crossover SUVs is widely regarded as far more dependable—especially when compared to their finicky first-gen counterparts, which are known to have transmission troubles.
