GMC has gone dark with the 2019 Acadia and 2019 Terrain Black Editions. Both crossovers forego bright trim work and chrome and favor blacked-out elements for a more sinister look.
The latest Black Editions further reinforce the popularity of such packages. Chevrolet and GMC have introduced numerous special edition vehicles that go heavy on dark hues. GMC data showed one in five buyers will spend extra money to personalize their vehicle after purchase. GMC wants to keep the aftermarket dollars in-house.
For the 2019 GMC Acadia Black Edition, the CUV receives 20-inch aluminum wheels with black accents, a black grille insert, head and taillight details, mirror caps and a few other black elements. The package is only available on SLT models.
The 2019 GMC Terrain Black Edition is much of the same. It includes 19-inch aluminum wheels with black accents, and the same black and darkened elements found on the Acadia. Buyers will have to select either the SLE or SLT trim to add the Black Edition trimmings.
GMC will offer the Acadia Black Edition in  Ebony Twilight Metallic, Summit White, White Frost Tricoat and, new for 2019, Dark Sky Metallic and Smokey Quartz Metallic. Meanwhile, Terrain Black Edition buyers may choose from Ebony Twilight Metallic, Summit White, Graphite Gray Metallic, Satin Steel Metallic and a new Sedona Metallic hue.
The 2019 Acadia and Terrain Black Editions will be present at the 2018 New York Auto Show next week, and both packages will be available for the crossovers this summer.
Comments
I wonder what Sedona Metallic will look like.
Like when is GM going to update the GMC Acadia? It at least needs LED headlights and a better Gauge Cluster (like almost every single GM vehicle on the market today)
I agree with you. Even the base-model Cadillacs have a terrible gaugle cluster. GM should learn with VW and give Chevy/Buick/GMC digital displays. Stop be cheap, GM.
I agree. Digital gauge cluster is brilliant for many reasons. It can —
1. Make the car look groovy. Or plain. Thanks to THEMES.
2. Some of said themes can adjust to day and night. Automatically.
3. They could adjust to the driver’s needs. Hint: reading glasses mode.
4. Customization. As I’ve never given three pirates poops about RPMs. Something more useful to me could live there.
5. If handled j u s t right… such a screen could… by choice of the driver and not GM… show quick low key ads. Why would people do this to themselves when the car warms up? How about free OnStar?
that last one was just spit ballin’…
If some of you would take the time to look the Denali dash
1. Is digital and can give touring or sport mode.
2. No need for silly colors, but it will do a number of things include mirror the center stack including putting the GPS with the Speedo. It even gives the legal MPH.
3. The dash is large and easy to read no glasses needed.
4. No tach needed till you need one.
5. The last thing we need is spam on the dash wanted or not.
Few need Onstar and what part we need with remote start is free.
Just how long do you really think a car needs to warm up? Most people get detention for spit balls.
They just need to put the adaptive cruise on the terrain then I’m set to buy my second Terrain
It’s there in the Denali trim actually. If you live in Canada I’ll set you up!
ugh seriously Canada always get nice things! One of the thing is that because the current Terrain doesn’t have ACC offered then it forces me to go to Envision or going to the Cherokee
The Acadia Denali also has Adaptive Cruise. Nice option.
So far I don’t have any kids so as of this point Acadia Denali would be a waste to be honest.
Nice look but not for me. I love black vehicles. they look great clean but hard to keep that way. Too few people know how to care for the color.
As for the Acadia it is not even 2 years old yet. Also it comes with 3 different gauge panel. Mine is programmable and has more features than I will ever use.
Head lamps are HID and the rest are LED so they are not bad. They are still viable.
I like it but is the front GMC emblem still red? You have to imagine the majority of people who want to pay extra for a black package would prefer a black front emblem…You can plastidip the emblem but once you get into plastidip you could consider buying a lower trim vehicle where the black package isn’t offered and “black package” it yourself using plastipid thus saving thousands…
All that black makes the car look dirty ! Have to wash it every day, No thank you!!!
Those blacked out treatments look better on some vehicles than others . Is it a metallic black or just black . My first Terrain SLT-2 was Carbon Black Metallic and was an awesome color but so frickin’ hard to keep clean .
Wash it in the morning and California Dust it when I got home from anywhere . But they look good clean .
There is still a community out there that still like to customize their vehicles ( me ) , unless you want to look like every other car on the road . So I understand GMC wanting a piece of that pie . But why not go all the way and offer it on the Denali trim level where you can get some of the safety features people might want .
they still have the most ugly front grill compare to the old one
I saw an Equinox today that had the name removed and Mary Kay instead all over the vehicle. Google it. It’s a thing.
