Compare the New GMC Acadia to the Competition in Newtown Square, PA

Looking for an SUV that's got it all? The new GMC Acadia has the comfortable ride and exceptional fuel economy that Newtown Square drivers desire from a midsize SUV. The Ford Explorer, Nissan Pathfinder, and Dodge Durango all have their positive attributes, but they don't offer the overall, well-rounded quality of the GMC Acadia. Hill Buick GMC has designed the following comparison to show you why.

 Performance

                                                                               Fuel Economy

GMC Acadia

With today's gas prices, you want an SUV that can go as far between fill-ups as possible. People in Newtown Square will appreciate that the new GMC Acadia delivers 22 mpg in the city and 29 mpg on the highway with its base engine and front-wheel drive.

Ford Explorer

The new Ford Explorer returns 21 mpg in the city and 28 mpg on the highway in its most efficient configuration. Not bad, but not quite as good as the Acadia.

Nissan Pathfinder

The new Nissan Pathfinder earns only 21 mpg in the city and 26 mpg on the highway with its standard engine and front-wheel drive.

Dodge Durango

The new Dodge Durango has a fuel-thirsty engine. It only gets 19 mpg in the city and 26 mpg on the highway in its most efficient setup.

                                                                               Ride Quality

GMC Acadia

If you'd like an SUV that rides softly and gently on the drive home from work in Newtown Square, the GMC Acadia is the one you should buy. Its front strut and rear multi-link independent suspension absorbs most bumps and dips in the street for a relaxed ride.

Ford Explorer

The new Ford Explorer has a generally smooth ride, but bumpy roads can unsettle it.

Nissan Pathfinder

The new Nissan Pathfinder's suspension is on the firmer side of comfort. Most bumps and dips in the road are soaked up smoothly, but their impacts are still noticeable.

Dodge Durango

The new Dodge Durango's dull steering and wide turning radius make it feel bulky and tough to maneuver, and its ride is a bit truck-like and jittery at slow speeds.

Interior

                                                                                      Seating Comfort

GMC Acadia

You need spacious seats in your SUV so that you and your passengers won't get fatigued on long trips. The new GMC Acadia provides 41 inches of legroom for the first row, and 39.7 inches of legroom for the second row.

Ford Explorer

The new Ford Explorer has 43 inches of front-row legroom, but just 39 inches of second-row legroom.

Nissan Pathfinder

The new Nissan Pathfinder has 44.3 inches of front-row legroom, but only 35.5 inches of second-row legroom.

Dodge Durango

The new Dodge Durango only has 40.3 inches of front-row legroom and just 38.6 inches of second-row legroom.

                                                                                    Infotainment System

GMC Acadia

A feature-filled, user-friendly infotainment system makes slow drives through traffic in Newtown Square more tolerable.

It also comes standard with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a Wi-Fi hot spot, and an eight-inch touch screen.

Ford Explorer

The new Ford Explorer also comes with an eight-inch touch screen and a Wi-Fi hot spot, but only wired Android Auto and Apple Carplay are available.

Nissan Pathfinder

Just like the Ford Explorer, the new Nissan Pathfinder comes with an 8-inch touch screen and wired connectivity to Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. However, it does not offer a Wi-Fi hot spot.

Dodge Durango

The Dodge Durango has a slightly bigger 8.4-inch infotainment touch screen. It also comes with support for Android Auto and Apple Carplay. Wireless Apple Carplay and Android Auto are available in the Durango, but you have to pay more to add them.

                                                                             Safety

GMC Acadia

Nothing is more important than the safety of yourself and your family. That's why GMC made GMC Pro Safety Plus standard on all new Acadia trims.

Ford Explorer

The new Ford Explorer also comes with 12 advanced active safety features, but it only comes standard with rear parking sensors. To get front parking sensors, you must pay more.
