If you are looking for boosted power and don't have a tight budget, the 2017 GMC Acadia Denali trim will give you a fun-to-drive performance level. However, both the Denali and the L trim levels offer the impressive style and comfortable Acadia ride you are looking for. Under the hood of the standard SL base trim, you'll find a 2.5-liter inline-four-cylinder engine that produces up to 193 horsepower. The Denali's 3.6-liter six-cylinder engine puts down 310 horsepower and almost 100 extra lb-ft of torque, but both trim levels achieve up to 25 miles per gallon on the highway.
When it comes to interior features, both trim levels come with some innovative comfort and convenience options. Standard features on both trims include: Bluetooth compatibility for making hands-free phone calls, steering wheel mounted audio controls, seating for up to seven passengers, and four interior 12V DC power outlets. The Denali trim level takes things a little further offering standard features such as: leather seating trim, front and rear park assist, lane keep assist, a blind spot sensor, voice-activated navigation, an eight-speaker Bose Premium sound system, and a sliding and tilting power sunroof.
