The Perfect Blend of Power & Capability

---

If adventure is at the top of your SUV wish list, then the 2021 GMC Acadia is the perfect fit. In addition to three available engines, including a 310-horsepower V6 engine, the GMC Acadia offers several intuitive systems meant for off-road exploration:

• Available Traction Select System with up to five selectable modes.
• Available Active Torque Control All-Wheel Drive system.
• Hill Descent Control and Hill Start Assist.

The Buick Enclave, on the other hand, puts the rush in rush hour with the same 310-horsepower 3.6L V6 engine that comes available in the Acadia. Plus, you’ll get a sleek Electronic Precision Shift joystick for seamless shifting.

No matter which model you choose, you’ll have at least two tons of towing capacity at your disposal.

GMC vs Buick: First-Class Cabin Comfort

---

Both the 2021 GMC Acadia and Buick Enclave offer seven seats and substantial cargo space. The Enclave does give you a noticeably larger cargo area with nearly 98 total cubic feet behind the first row. This is ideal for moving your firstborn to college or taking the kayaks out for the weekend.

The GMC Acadia gives you 79 cubic feet of cargo space with the rear seats folded, which is still plenty of space for big toys, full-sized suitcases, and ski equipment. And it makes up for it with available Adaptive Ride Control. Using a Continuous Damping Control Suspension system to anticipate changes in the levelness of the road, this system provides an unbelievably smooth and comfortable ride on any terrain.

Is the Acadia Safer than the Enclave?

Safety is a top priority in both models with comprehensive safety suites available in the Acadia and the Enclave. As both models are manufactured by General Motors (GM), their safety suites are identical, encompassing all of the following available features:

• Automatic Emergency Braking with Forward Collision Alert
• Following Distance Indicator
• Front Pedestrian Braking
• Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning

Both models can also be equipped with available High Definition Surround Vision, which provides a 360-degree view of what’s going on around your vehicle.
