2020 GMC Acadia Will Probably Get Rear Camera Mirror Feature

The GMC Acadia is set for a mid-cycle update for the 2020 model year, and that refresh will bring refreshed front and rear styling, as confirmed by the camo-clad test mules, along with new technologies, the most notably of which could be the innovative and highly-useful GM Rear Camera Mirror.
Our line of thinking on the topic is rather straight-forward: the second-generation GMC Acadia rides on the same GM C1 platform as the all-new 2019 Chevrolet Blazer, which offers the Rear Camera Mirror as an option, something the Acadia does not do. So it wouldn’t be that big of a stretch to think that the 2020 GMC Acadia update will bring the Rear Camera Mirror to the midsize GMC crossover, thereby bringing it to feature parity with its Chevy platform mate.
The innovative Rear Camera Mirror is a very slick bit of tech that places the video feed from a specialized camera mounted at the rear of the vehicle onto the mirror surface. The biggest benefit of the technology is that it removes all obstructions that are typically preset in a traditional rearview mirror, such as passengers, seat backs, pillars, and dirty windows. Even better, the driver’s field of vision is now four times greater than a standard rearview mirror.
If the 2020 GMC Acadia gets the Rear Camera Mirror system, it will likely be the same 1280 x 240-pixel resolution (171 pixels per inch) that is used on the 2019 Blazer. A second-generation version of this system, with higher 1440 x 300 resolution and an increased amount of controls, was introduced on the 2019 Cadillac XT4 and the 2019 Cadillac CT6.
The refreshed 2020 Acadia is expected in Q3 2019, with updated styling, the new GM nine-speed automatic transmission (to replace the current six-speed), and potentially a re-arranged trim level structure.

If they’ve updated the engine to match the Blazer, they need to have a defeat switch for the auto start/stop.
Blazer has the same engine line up as current Acadia. I just wish this one will come with 3.0L V6 Turbo and 9 Speed auto instead of current 6 speed.
We’ll see if they are listening. Bought Wife a 17 XT5 (stop/start, no way to defeat) , really interested in new and upcoming XT6., need the room. But, will not make that mistake again. If it comes without defeat button, we will become Lexus people from now on. Like I said, we’ll see.
From everything we’ve seen thus far, there should be a way to disable auto stop-start on the XT6.
GMC should establish the 2.0 Turbo LTG engine as an option on the SLT and standard on the Denali. HID headlamps need to be standard on the SLE and the SLT trims with LED headlamps being standard on the Denali.
Actually just make them LED on all if you have to have them. HIDs are much more expensive and would prove to be impractical on cheaper models.
They do need the 2.0 turbo.
I am glad we got ours already as I would rather have 6 speed vs 9 speed auto stop.
The mirror is a nice feature but it takes time to adjust to. Your eyes need to adjust to the mirror not the reflection as it is now. The first one I drove caught me off till I adjusted to it.
You can flip it to a regular mirror too. This also comes in handy when the camera gets gunked up.
I miss rear view camera mirror went from xt5 to a Buick Regal Gs sport back
Gm needs rear view mirror as option on Buick’s ASAP besides enclave
