2012 GMC Acadia Overview

Price Range: $32,685 to $46,660

The 2012 GMC Acadia full-size crossover comes with seating for seven or eight passengers across three-rows of seats (depending on a second row bench or captain’s chairs), and a well outfitted interior making it a great fit for a family on the go.

Not much changes for the Acadia in 2012. A new hill-hold feature has been installed, which prevents the Acadia from rolling back on inclines, and a few trims add integrated blind spot mirrors into their side mirrors. From the outside, the Acadia won’t really turn heads but it’s a pretty sharp looking crossover that hides its size well. A rear spoiler and LED taillights come standard. The upscale Denali trim of the Acadia adds on a few extra exterior touches to set it apart from the standard Acadia, like a honeycomb grille.

There is only one engine option for the Acadia: a 288-horsepower, 3.6-liter V-6 that produces 270 pounds-feet of torque and is mated to a six-speed automatic transmission. Front-wheel drive is standard, but for those who plan to journey in tougher conditions an all-wheel drive system that can split torque between the front/rear axles is available.

The 2012 Acadia’s fuel economy numbers are competitive in its class; 17 mpg in the city and 24 mpg on the highway (those numbers drop by one mpg respectively if all-wheel drive is equipped).

Inside, the 2012 Acadia features a mix of useful and practical features that allow you to carry cargo or passengers with ease. The second and third rows both fold flat and there is also a handy area beneath the rear cargo floor with even more storage. To make things easier on third-row passengers, the second row slides forward and backward. Standard features include remote keyless entry, cruise control, satellite radio, and air conditioning. Also available as options are heated and cooled front seats, a dual-panel sunroof, remote vehicle, navigation system, Bluetooth® connectivity, and automatic climate control. The Denali gets all of these options as standard equipment, except for a rear-seat entertainment system and a three-prong power outlet which are both optional across all trims.

When it comes to safety, the Acadia has you covered with a free year of OnStar’s Safe and Sound service, six airbags, electronic stability and traction control, and four-wheel-disc antilock brakes all standard. A rear-view camera for safe backing is optional.

If you’re in the market for a full-size crossover, the 2012 GMC Acadia is a worthy contender with a well-made interior, good safety features, and versatile cargo carrying capability.

These additional manufacturer savings programs can help you get your best deal.*

Some manufacturers also provide first-time buyer, military, and other programs to target specific customer segments.

*Incentive programs are subject to change at any time by the manufacturer.

Secret 1
Consumer Incentives

Zero percent financing, employee discount, cash back, out-the-door price tags...

Most dealers work hard to offer the public competitive prices. These incentives can grab your attention, but they can also obscure the actual terms you're getting on your purchase.

How can you fully understand incentives to get the lowest possible price on your car?

Get our free quote, and we'll tell you the secret.

Secret 2
Finance & Insurance

Most state franchise laws prohibit manufacturers from selling cars directly to the public, so the dealer will be your middleman. But in terms of financing and insurance, you can choose a bank or the dealer directly.

How can you determine what's in your best interest?

Secret 3
Additional Costs

Destination charges, taxes, license and title fees, advertising fees... When going to a dealership, you must ask for an explanation of any fee you don't understand. But you need to choose your battles wisely. Your local car dealer may have taken a loss or slim profit along the way, and your fighting over something like a doc fee when the deal is nearly wrapped up may be counterproductive.

In any case, there are many fees and charges in the sale process: some inevitable, others questionable. How do you tell them apart?

Secret 4
Trade-in Value

If you currently own a car, it probably represents profit. The question is, whose profit will it be?

With few exceptions, you'll get the most money for your used car by selling it privately. That's because dealers pay wholesale prices — not retail prices — for used cars, and they sell them at retail.

Your current car's value can be used to lower the price on your new car. However, most people underestimate their used car's value when going to a dealership. How can you maximize your value?

Get our free quote, and we'll tell you the secret.

Secret 5
Dealer Holdback

The car manufacturer holds back a fraction of the price of all vehicles the dealership sells. Then, it returns the money to the dealership, usually on a quarterly basis.

Dealer holdback began its life as a safety net that ensured the manufacturers would have a security deposit of sorts if a dealership missed payments, and the dealerships would have money on hand to cover overhead costs when the holdback was returned.

How can you take advantage of dealer holdbacks to get the bottom line price?

Get our free quote, and we'll tell you the secret.

Secret 6
Dealer Incentives

Unlike consumer incentives, dealer incentives are factory-to-dealer incentives that reduce the dealer's true cost to buy the vehicle from the factory to below invoice.

Manufacturers offer these incentives on a regional basis to generate sales on specific models. These incentives are sometimes referred to as "spiffs," and they can touch off competition among dealers to move slower-selling stock.

For instance, a dealer incentive may kick in when a certain sales target is reached, with each subsequent sale resulting in a higher factory-to-dealer rebate. How can you benefit from that?
