The 2015 GMC Acadia is a fantastic choice for a million reasons, and we hope the direct comparison with a competing SUV will allow you to see the highlights and differences that set this impressive and luxurious vehicle apart.

Starting with the exteriors of these two SUVs, there are several differences that may help to make a choice between the two. The larger and more aggressive-looking 2015 GMC Acadia has chrome details and a more carved exterior that gives it a feeling of authority and security. The slightly smaller Nissan Pathfinder features a body that appears more curved and aerodynamic. It’s minivan-like exterior has a family friendly appeal, but loses the sporty aggressiveness that is present in the GMC Acadia.  Under the hood, there are differences that set the GMC Acadia ahead of the Nissan Pathfinder. A very slightly bigger engine under the hood of the 2015 GMC Acadia puts out more horsepower for a swifter and more powerful driving experience. Bringing a trailer or a boat along for the ride is easy with the Acadia that is prepared to handle the extra weight. The Nissan, on the other hand, has slightly better fuel economy ratings, but at the sacrifice of power.
