The 2018 GMC Acadia for Elgin Drivers: The Commuter of Champions

Elgin has a lot to offer its residents and to attract visitors in from other areas. For example, there's the two-time award-winning Elgin Symphony Orchestra, The Grand Victoria Riverboat Casino which is the largest riverboat revenue producer in Illinois, and over 1200 acres of parks, including multiple sports complex locations. Of course, even though Eglin has such a thriving and diverse range of attractions, many residents commute to somewhere else in the greater Elgin area. And even those who stay within city limits are often in need of a large and comfortable commuter, especially if they are part of a carpool group or have kids that likewise need ferrying to and from their destinations. For such scenarios, one particularly desirable vehicle out this year is the 2018 GMC Acadia.

The GMC Acadia is a comfortable mid-size crossover SUV that nicely meets the growing need families have for a vehicle that has the capacity of a minivan but is more flexible and offers better fuel economy (not to mention better pricing!). The Acadia received a full redesign for the 2017 production year but there have still been some nice added touches here. The following is a quick look at some of the major areas that really set this model apart from the competition and why it just might be the dream vehicle addition to your Elgin garage:

The 2018 GMC Acadia for Elgin Drivers: The Peek at the Pros

• Lots of engine power. The 2018 GMC Acadia packs quite the engine power with a 3.6-liter V6 engine that delivers a class-topping 310 horsepower and 271 pound-feet of torque. This is an ample amount of oomph for a vehicle its size and so even when you've got the model fully loaded down, it drives like a boss. Plus, you get this fantastic acceleration and loaded power without sacrificing so much on fuel economy as this model gets a nice EPA estimated 18 mpg in the city and 25 mpg on the highway thanks to its Active Fuel Management system.
• Flexible interior configuration. As a mid-sized crossover SUV, the Acadia offers a lot of flexibility and options when it comes to its interior. The standard set-up is a seven-seat layout which features the two seats up front, a three-person bench in the second row, and two seats in the third row. However, Elgin drivers can certainly reconfigure that. Maybe nix the third row altogether to increase your cargo potential or keep them and switch out the second-row bench for two captain's chairs for a more spacious and luxurious back seat area. The choices are yours!
• Stellar cockpit area. What does every carpool vehicle have to have? A driver's seat that makes you excited to be the designated driver. Well, you'll love being tagged driver when you own the Acadia. That's because with trims like the 2018 GMC Acadia All Terrain trim, you get leather, French-stitched seats with a high position over the road. At your fingertips is an 8-inch color touchscreen outfitted with IntelliLink so that you access music and phone capabilities via voice recognition. Plus, with Active Noise Cancellation, both drivers and occupants will enjoy a quieter drive no matter where the road takes you.
