Going big!

GMC presents a full-size SUV in the Yukon, which sets the standard when it comes to utility, impeccable design and innovation. With a plethora of premium materials, generous seating and innovative storage, this large family SUV, starting at $59,295, is big and bold inside and out.

Under hood, its larger-than-life aura is also made clear. Drivers have the choice of the powerful and efficient EcoTec 3 V8 gas engine or the available 3.0 Duramax Turbo-Diesel. Both get you from point A to point B as efficiently as possible.

The higher-level range-topping Yukon Denali is considered the ultimate expression of both Professional Grade and luxury, with eye-popping style that is found in a three-dimensional grille, dual exhaust system with dual twin-polished stainless steel tips and rounded out with distinctive chrome accents. Featuring 16-way power-adjustable front seats with massage and open pore wood trim, this vehicle also is presented with an 18-speaker Bose stereo system among its amenities. Riding atop available 22-inch wheels and optional power-retractable, the Denali also features illuminated assist steps that take what is already an incredible vehicle and escalating it to even higher levels!

Both towing capacity and acceleration are strong, with the Denali Ultimate also presented with GM’s Super Cruise hands-free driving.

It is also important to note that all Yukon models come with a large infotainment display with GMC’s latest infotainment surface and a host of driver-assistance features.

Its only down side is that it is not incredible fuel efficient, although it performs slightly better in the city than the last generation model.

Overall, there are few vehicles out there on today’s roads that offer as much space for passengers and cargo as the Yukon. In fact, it is considered one of the most accommodating and luxurious passenger vehicles in GMC’s history.

At the mid-point!

Pure capability is found here with the GMC mid-size Acadia, engineered to handle any and all of life’s demands with confidence and pure style. This vehicle, redesigned and roomy thanks to its three-row interior, has available seating for up to seven as well as boasts maximum cargo capacity and a snazzy 15.0-inch touchscreen.

Bigger than ever before and with a wheelbase and overall length growing by 8.4 and 10.6 inches respectively, the Acadia enters its third generation and does so with a bang!

Taller, wider and longer than its predecessor, the new Acadia features a boxier exterior that makes it appear almost truck-like. Spacious within, the center console is an example of that growth, with more storage space thanks to the repositioning of awkward shift buttons to a column-mounted shifter, with also more room underneath.

With an 11.0-inch digital gauge cluster, the Acadia has a dashboard that is dominated by a vertically oriented 15.0-inch touchscreen, both of which are standard. Also speaking to its tech savvy capability, the Acadia’s Google-based infotainment system includes customizable screens and available apps.

There is also a wide array of driver-assistance technology, almost all of which is standard, as well as adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist and blind-spot monitoring.

The Acadia measures 204 inches from front to back, making it only a half foot shorter than the full-size Yukon.

Under hood, every Acadia is powered by a turbocharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder that puts forth 328 hp and 326 lb.-ft. of torque. An eight-speed transmission replaces the old nine-speed unit, with the Acadia presented with either front or all-wheel drive.

The upper level Acadia AT4 with its darkened details, exclusive fabric and premium finishes, is equipped with bold power thanks to a 3.6L V6 engine and 9-speed automatic transmission. It stands about an inch taller than other Acadias and sits atop 18-inch wheels mounted on Goodyear Wrangler Territory all-terrain tires and a specially turned suspension.

Take it even higher levels of elegance with the Acadia Denali which is a prime example of craftsmanship through and through. That is brought forth with sleek lines, chrome accents and refined interiors that include leather upholstery and a laser-etched wood trim. There is also a 12-speaker Bose stereo as standard with 16-speakers presented as an option as is a massive panoramic sunroof and second-row heated seats.

Small but mighty!

Attractive and assertive in its boxiness, it is an experience nothing short of amazing when getting behind the wheel of the GMC Terrain compact SUV. The vehicle is impressive in every way and leaves no stone unturned. That is due in large part to its GMC Pro Safety, which is standard and serves to increase awareness of potential hazards, as well as its 1.5L Turbocharged gas engine and traction selection system. This puts forth 175-hp through four turbocharged cylinders.

Defined by a muscular appearance and ample interior space, the Terrain gives drivers and passengers alike the experience of a ride that is rooted in comfort. Considered a downside, though, are small buttons within, and some subpar materials.

Cargo space is competitive, though, due in large part to the 60/40 split-folding seat which is standard as is an available fold-flat front seat.

Infotainment is to be had via clear graphics, logical menus and the latest in-car connectivity features, including wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and an onboard Wi-Fi hotspot. A head-

up display is available, and standard on the Denali and optional on the SLT and AT4. A slew of driver-safety assistance features are also to be had.

Although having minimal changes than its predecessor, two new paint colors mark the latest model, as well as redesigned 19-inch wheels for the Elevation package on the SLE and SLT models. A Black Diamond Edition package is also being added for the Denali trim. With the cost-effective SLE model, drivers get their defined must-haves as standard, including wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto capability, touchscreen infotainment and a host of driver-assistance features.

Luxury is found in the Terrain Denali, a small, yet groundbreaking vehicle which boasts such features as Denali premium suspension and GMC Pro Safety Plus.

Get your adventure on with the confidently capable Terrain AT4, which allows you to travel to any and all types of action and adventure in pure style and comfort.
