2025 GMC Acadia Reviews: Is it a Valuable Midsize SUV to Buy?

The new GMC Acadia is worth buying because you benefit from last year's redesign with additional changes for the 2025 model at only a few hundred dollars more.

It's also praised by several automotive publications. U.S. News & World Report ranked the 2025 Acadia among the Best Midsize SUVs for 2025. CarBuzz also shared that competitors in its class like the Chevrolet Traverse and Kia Sorento are less-expensive three-row SUVs, but don't "boast the same level of interior amenities."

Whether you need a midsize family carpooling vehicle or are an outdoor enthusiast seeking rugged performance with plenty of cargo storage, the 2025 Acadia caters to diverse driving lifestyles.
