Stay Cool, Calm, and Collected in the 2018 GMC Acadia

In the all-new 2018 GMC Acadia, the automaker has pulled out all the stops when it comes to safety. An intricate network of radar, cameras, and ultrasonic sensors helps you to expect the unexpected, and provides peace of mind as you hit the road with your family in tow. Car and Driver had this to say about the standout SUV: “Handsome styling, a well-connected infotainment system, and room for up to seven passengers make the [GMC] Acadia an easy family favorite.”

From the moment you back out of your spot, the 2018 GMC Acadia has you covered. The Rear Vision Camera gives you eyes in the back of your head, clearly showing if there are any stationary objects in your path as you go to back out. Even better? The available Rear Cross Traffic Alert. If it detects moving vehicles creeping up behind you, it will alert you to the potential danger.

Once you’re out and moving, the 2018 GMC Acadia continues to help you navigate the world around your SUV. Lane Change Alert with Side Blind Zone Alert serves as a helpful copilot by displaying a symbol in the outside mirror to alert you to the presence of a vehicle in your blind spot. If you activate the turn signal to head into that spot, the display will flash an extra warning not to change lanes.

One of the features drivers here at Keyes Cars love most is the built-in Teen Driver system, which works to encourage safe habits for new drivers. It automatically activates certain safety features, and lets parents set limits on other features that may be distracting. The in-vehicle Report Card is perhaps the most useful feature, providing parents with information on their young driver’s driving behaviors to help clue them in on where to coach their teens and where to congratulate.

The more a vehicle can handle, the safer it is. The available Traction Select drive mode selector helps make the 2018 GMC Acadia ready for anything. Drivers can choose from All-Wheel Drive, Off-Road, Snow, Sport, and Trailer/Tow modes depending on optional equipment.
