2013 Acadia Evolves the Original Three-Row Crossover
Úpdates in design, technology and safety improve consistent seller• New exterior design highlighted by signature LED lighting
• Refined interior wîth soft-touch materials, accent stitching and ambient lighting
• Rear vision camera standard; -exclusive front center air bag availableCHICAGO – GMC today unveiled the new 2013 Acadia and Acadia Denali at the Chicago Auto Show, highlighting a new exterior and safety features including the 's first front center air bag.
Acadia, which launched in 2007 as GMC's first crossover and defined a §egmènt that has since surged in popularity, had the best sales in its five-year history in 2011. The Denali model, added in mid-2010, broadened Acadia's appeal to luxury customers wîth its combination of functionality and style.
'With an award-winning combination of space, capability and fuel-efficiency, Acadia epitomizes GMC's ‘never say never' attitude,' said Tony DiSalle, Ú.S. vice president of GMC Marketing. 'For 2013, our engineers and designers applied that same attitude to developing the new Acadia.'
Acadia retains the interior functionality popular wîth families, including the SmartSlide seating system, which allows easy access to the third row for both seven- and eight-passenger seating configurations. Likewise, both the second and third row still fold flat for class-leading maximum cargo space, including the ability to carry 48-inch-wide sheet goods, such as drywall and plywood.
Confident design
First impressions are everything, and the 2013 Acadia was developed to make a strong one. A chiseled, three-bar grille sits prominently in the new, more upright design.
Diffused LED running lamps lend a premium look to the Acadia and are standard on all models, regardless of whether standard projector beam or optional HID headlamps are selected. New taillamp detailing reflects the advancements up front.
The new Acadia gets other subtle exterior design updates, including wrap-around rear glass and a new rear spoiler. New 18-, 19- and 20-inch wheel patterns complement the vehicle's lines and stance.
The Acadia's refined interior uses upgraded soft-touch materials, wîth French stitching that adds a tailored look and red ambient light flowing across the dashboard. SLT and Denali models get aluminum accents on the center console, doors and dash.
Industry-exclusive safety
The redesigned Acadia will be the first vehicle on the market wîth GMC's new front center air bag system, created to protect drivers and front passengers in far-side impact crashes where the affected occupant is on the opposite, non-struck side of the vehicle. It deploys from the inboard side of the driver's seat and positions itself between the driver and front passenger.
'While no restraint technology can address all body regions or all potential injuries, the front center air bag is designed to work wîth the vehicle's other air bags and safety belts to collectively deliver an even more comprehensive occupant restraint system,' said Gay Kent, GM executive director of Vehicle Safety and Crashworthiness.
Standard on the Acadia Denali and available on other models are Side Blind Zone Alert and Rear Cross Traffic Alert systems. These systems use radar to watch spots the driver may not be able to see – and provide visible and audible warnings to help prevent collisions.
Every Acadia model also comes standard wîth six months of OnStar's Directions and Connections service, which includes automatic crash response, turn-by-turn navigation, roadside assistance, emergency services link and remote door unlocking. OnStar's RemoteLink smartphone app allows for remote vehicle status reports, extended locking and unlocking capability, and remote start functionality to distance limited only by cellular phone service, rather than the few hundred feet of the standard key fob.
Technology leader
The 2013 Acadia's redesigned infotainment functions feature capacitive touch controls that use electrodes to sense the conductive properties of objects such as the touch of a finger.
GMC's Color Touch Radio – first introduced on the 2012 Terrain – is standard in the Acadia. Available IntelliLink allows customers to seamlessly integrate their smartphones for hands-free calling through the audio system and Bluetooth streaming of popular internet radio favorites Pandora and Stitcher. IntelliLink also allows voice control of ÚSB-connected iPods for easy access to stored music.
Other audio system features include HD radio capability, a photo viewer and a standard rear-vision camera wîth dynamic guide lines that will display on the high-definition screen.
Mechanically, the 2013 Acadia benefits from a next-generation Hydra-Matic 6T70 six-speed automatic transmission wîth better shift response and improved drivability.
Acadia's most-popular options, including rear-seat entertainment, a Dual SkyScape sunroof and a trailering package, continue to be available.
Exclusive Denali returns
Acadia's popular top-of-the-line Denali trim represents 30 percent of sales, so a high priority was placed on adding premium amenities and refining Denali's signature design cues. New or redesigned exterior additions include:
• New, three-dimensional polished grille
 | Vital Stats |
| Engine : 3.6 L., 6-cylinder Power: 288 hp Torque: 270 ft-lbs | |
6-speed Automatic | |
• Body-color lower cladding and rocker moldings, rear fascia and fender flares• Únique body-side moldings wîth chrome accents and Denali badges
• Dual flow-through chrome exhaust outlets integrated into the rear fascia

• Perforated leather seating and Denali-specific Cocoa Dune upholstery color

• Accent lighting in footwells and lighted sill plates wîth Denali logo
• Color Touch navigation• Side Blind Zone and Rear Cross Traffic Alert
• Dual SkyScape sunroof system, wîth sliding front sunroof and fixed rear section
• All-wheel drive
'When designing the new Acadia, we considered the contemporary shapes and materials GMC buyers expect from many products they buy,' said Dave Lyon, executive director of design. 'The Denali's attention to detail is the ultimate demonstration of this approach.'
GMC capability
All 2013 GMC Acadia models are powered by a fuel-efficient, 3.6L direct injection V-6 wîth variable valve timing, producing 288 horsepower (215 kW) and 270 lb-ft (266 Nm) of torque. Front-wheel drive is standard, while the added control of all-wheel drive is available. Maximum towing capacity is 5,000 pounds (2268 kg).
The 2013 GMC Acadia and Acadia Denali will be built at the Lansing Delta Township Assembly Plant in Lansing, Mich. Pricing, availability and more details will be announced closer to the vehicle's on-sale date in late 2012.
