Spacious seating for all in the new Acadia.

SUV with a Spacious Third Row of Seating

Stuck in the back seat. You didn’t call out “Shotgun” soon enough, now you are stuck in the back seat. It’s even worse to be stuck in the back when the vehicle has three rows of seating. Because everyone knows that the third row of seating isn’t fit for an actual human. Well, that was the reality. But with the new GMC Acadia, sitting in the third row has become more of a luxury. That’s because the Acadia is an SUV with a spacious third row of seating.

Just checking the stats on the Acadia shows that the third row of seats is expansive. It offers consumers 55 inches of shoulder room and 24 inches of fore-aft room. Finding a vehicle that has those kind of dimensions in the back is difficult, if not impossible. And thanks to the SmartSlide Seating System, getting to the third row of seats is also no problem. There’s really no reason to be practically crawling over the second row of seating to access the third, but that’s just what you have to do with many SUVs.

To seat seven or eight passengers comfortably – including in the third row – you might think the Acadia is huge. But, it really isn’t, it just uses the space well. The 3.6-liter V6 engine gets an impressive 24 MPG on the highway while having the output families need at 288 horsepower. And the AWD makes drivers confident in what the SUV can handle out there in the world.

No more complaints from the back seat passengers. This alone makes the Acadia one of the most coveted SUVs on the market. An SUV with a spacious third row of seating is hard to come by, so don’t pass this one up.
