The GMC Acadia SLE-1 FWD is yet another crossover utility vehicle aiming to combine the good ride and sharp handling of a car with the cargo space and flexibility of a traditional truck-based SUV. The front features two comfortable bucket seats and the rear features a flexible layout with different seating configurations to accommodate up to 8 people. It is powered by a direct injection 3.6L V6 288HP engine and mated to a six-speed automatic transmission. The GMC Acadia SLE-1 FWD drives just like a (large) car, easy to manoeuvre and confident through bends. Like most modern SUV/Crossover vehicles, the GMC Acadia SLE-1 FWD comes with a good set of safety features as standard - side overhead air bags, side-impact air bags for driver and front-seat passenger, anti-lock brakes, and electronic traction and stability control systems. The GMC Acadia SLE-1 FWD is one of the better examples of using a car like uni body (monocoque) platform to get the best of both worlds. This vehicle is no harder to drive than an ordinary sedan yet provides bags more versatility and practicality.
