The 2017 GMC Acadia has made a move for midsize territory. The ten-year run of the original, full-size Acadia will come to an end for consumers this spring, but the Lambda-based CUV will continue on for fleet purchases for some time.
Along with the market repositioning, the 2017 GMC Acadia has also seen a fair price cut from the full-size model. The $29,990 starting price is down $1,905 from the 2016 model year. But, we’re here to ask if the pricing is right on the money in today’s community question.
For some perspective, we’ve pulled up the 2017 Acadia’s main competitor: the Toyota Highlander. Upon firing up the configurator for a base Highlander, we can see the equipment is on par with the GMC. Even more so, the two midsize crossovers start exactly at $29,990.
Therefore, we’d say the pricing is right. But, GMC could have pulled a fast one and undercut the Toyota but just a tad. Regardless, the base model is never the mass mover, and GMC knows it with its aggressive pricing tier for All Terrain and Denali variants.
We’ll turn it over to you now. Go ahead and vote in our poll below and sound off in the comment section.

It gets pricey once you add AWD and leather. But that’s profit that makes GMC a very strong brand for the General. And still, the SLT is about the same as a Dodge Durango Citadel. So it’s still on the money.
That price is a good launching point . Add some of its safety features and some toys and the price will be alot higher .
Getting into a Denali and you can double the price . Did i read that the Acadia Denali doesn’t offer the Heads-Up display anymore ? If that’s true that is a dissapointment . GMC lost it and Cadillac now offers it on the XT5 .
I’m one of the true believers that every car / truck should make it standard equipment .The higher priced vehicles could feature more info and cheaper vehicles less . Iv’e owned a few vehicles that had it and its somewhat a safety feature by keeping your eyes on the road .
Maybe next year GMC will get it back .
From available photos and videos from the Detroit AS, it looks like the HUD was exchanged for push button start/stop. Having that new feature in addition to the upgraded digital screen dashboard that shows navigation/digital mph/etc, I’m ok with the HUD loss. Disappointed, but ok.
