The GMC Acadia has been a popular choice for American customers looking for a great midsize SUV. Initially, it was one of the few big crossover SUVs offered by GM in the mid-2000s. This first-generation Acadia lasted a whopping 10 years from 2007 to 2017, and during that time, GMC managed to sell over 50,000 units every year.

With the debut of the second-generation Acadia in 2017, GM’s rugged midsize crossover took on a whole new aggressive shape despite its luxury-focused interior. This body style carries over to the 2023 model year, where, even today, the Acadia is still a favorite for many SUV owners around the country. If you are looking to buy your example of the latest GMC Acadia, here’s everything you need to know about the Acadia and how much you can expect to spend on one.
