Commercial-free music channels from virtually every genre, live
performances, sports, entertainment, compelling talk, world news, local
traffic and more – all in crisp, clear digital sound.

CONFIDENCE-INSPIRING SAFETY
Six Air Bags and Passenger Sensing System1Maximum protection in the event of a crash. Protection includes
two front dual-stage air bags and two side-impact air bags for the
driver and front-seat passenger, and head-curtain side air bags with
rollover protection that function like a protective curtain for outboard
occupants in all three rows. The front passenger air bag features a
Passenger Sensing System that can detect the weight of the occupant
and turn it off (if the passenger is under a certain weight).
OnStar® with Directions & Connections Plan2
(one-year subscription)
Offers the convenience of hands-free calling and includes Automatic
Crash Response, Stolen Vehicle Assistance, Emergency Services,
Roadside Assistance and Remote Horn and Lights. Visit onstar.com
for coverage maps and system limitations.
Five-Star Crash Test Rating (National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration’s New Car Assessment Program)3
The highest possible front- and side-impact safety rating.
StabiliTrak® Stability Control System Keeps the driver in firm control of Acadia Denali. This system
uses sensors that read the position of the steering wheel, vehicle
speed, brake pressure, lateral acceleration and turning rate. If the
vehicle is not responding adequately to steering input, a computer
adjusts the engine speed and the brake pressure to any individual
wheel to stay on track.
Available All-Wheel Drive Provides outstanding ride and handling. This electronically
controlled on-demand system constantly monitors and adjusts
torque quickly and seamlessly between the front and rear wheels
as necessary. In addition to keeping the vehicle on track, it
contributes to fuel efficiency.
GMC CAPABILITY WITH IMPRESSIVE FUEL EFFICIENCY
3.6L DI VVT V6 ENGINE (WITH SIX-SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION)
288 Horsepower @ 6300 rpm More standard horsepower than any competitor in its class.
270 lb.-ft. @ 3400 rpm Helps Acadia Denali respond immediately when accelerating or
merging onto a busy highway.

This improves combustion efficiency and reduces emissions, resulting
in improved fuel economy and enhanced performance.
17 mpg City and 24 mpg Highway: Front-Wheel Drive Acadia Denali offers better highway fuel economy than any other
eight-passenger SUV.
16 mpg City and 23 mpg Highway: All-Wheel Drive
