I wanted to take this time to say THANK YOU FOR 1,000 SUBSCRIBERS!!! 🎉To all my subscribers across the globe, thank you for watching and subscribing and making this possible, I never imagined we'd get to this point when I started 8 months ago, THANK YOU ALL!! Thank you for watching my 2024 GMC Acadia Denali review! If you have any questions I didn't answer, or wanted my opinion on something specific on this new Acadia Denali, comment below so I can reply. Thanks again for watching, I'll see you on my next video!
Maybe back at launch in 2017, yes. Now, I wouldn’t even say Supercruise doesn’t work on “most roads”. It really just depends on what area you live in now. For most customers, SC works on *most* divided roads and they won’t buy a new vehicle without the system because of how useful they find it to be.
My apologies, I speak from kind of a biased view point. Where I am it’s not a very major metropolitan area, and out in the country where I am not all the roads have road marking in the center. So for me, it may not be as useful as it is to someone in an area with a larger population. Thank you for watching and thank you for the super cruise info, I’m hoping to test more vehicles with super cruise in the future!
Acoustic laminated windshield and front door glass is available on the Elevation as part of the optional Luxury package. It also includes heated wiper park, heated rear seats and Head Up Display (HUD). At $900 this pkg is a bargain.
You got that right! And how many more bargains can we find nowadays? Not many, so I appreciate it GMC 😂 I just saw that info this morning when running through a build on the Elevation on GMC’s website. Thank you for confirming this! Thank you for watching as well!
I’m glad you’re enjoying your new ride! This is one of the best American car interiors at the moment, they knocked it out of the park! Thank you for watching!
I'm a XM BPM fan too!! I have to say that I was starting to let GM go slowly out of my shopping list because of their abnormally small fuel tank sizes, but the now digital headlight switch is a true show stopper. 😞😒
I always wonder how many other people listen to BPM, sweet! It’s just about the only thing I listen to out on the road if I’m not on one of my playlists. After seeing the interior quality of this Denali trim model, I have some more respect for GM. Between how well the Canyon AT4X, Silverado ZR2, and now this Acadia Denali interiors have been done, I have a lot of respect for them. The digital headlight switch KILLS me though, I can’t stand it. Thank you for coming back to the channel again!
Yes I did that a few times for this video, I just put it in accessory mode and then the touch screen is accessible to access that headlight switch, then you can shut accessory mode off and the radio will shut off and headlights will stay on. Thank you for watching!
Nice video, local guy I see, I'm in Rochester as well. In order to get the Denali Reserve package, you're forced to get the Super Cruise for an additional $3500. They credit you $100 for the wiper thaw feature (probably blaming micro chips). I was really hoping for a 100% black interior, need to see this white cross stitch before ordering one. The glass is called acoustic performance glass I believe.
Thank you for the kind words!! I don’t think you’ll be disappointed seeing this interior in person, it is very well done and I have pretty high standards for car interiors. I think they did a great job on it! The acoustic glass was a very nice touch. Kind of a like a small touch of German car in an American SUV. Thank you for watching!
I think $58,000 does make this seem slightly more reasonable, but thinking back on the car now, I think the only form I would want it in is with the sunroof, wheels, and super cruise (even though I wouldn’t use the super cruise all that often, more of a party trick for me I think). So at that rate I basically have to pay the sticker price seen here and that is big coin! Thank you for watching!
Only if you want to use the built in navigation from Google Maps. It’s a monthly fee to keep it turned on. There is no built in navigation on this anymore. If you want to use your Android Auto or Apple CarPlay from your phone, you can still do that in lieu of the pay-to-play built in Google Maps. Thank you for watching!
Great review Ceall! I really like the looks both inside and outside of this SUV. I agree with you that the price is a bit lofty. Personally I doubt that I will buy new again. Certified pre-owned or Carmax saves so much money. I have a panoramic sunroof in my ride and I do love it as well. We have been having some warmer weather here and I had to upgrade my AC just in time. Hoping that you have doing great brother!! Summer is here..do you have any travels planned? Take care and wishing all the best!
Me too, this is the first GM SUV I’ve REALLY liked since the release of the new body Escalade back around 2021. I think the styling really exudes elegance inside and out, just like they were aiming for. I have also been looking into certified pre-owned for when I will buy my next vehicle. I think I’ll need it as the Raptor isn’t all that reliable. And the panoramic sunroof is a MUST in the Raptor, but they always break. 😂 and the AC has been KICKIN’ over here my man, this heat and humidity in the northeast is no joke 😂 I do have a camping trip in July that I’m excited for! It’s been a minute since I’ve dusted off the camper. Thank you for watching James! Have a productive and happy week ahead brother! 🤙🏻💪🏻
@@CEALLIFORNIA I agree brother..it is a really nice looking SUV. It's really nice that many domestic manufacturers are using higher quality materials. Wait you got a Raptor?? Wow that is amazing! I'm sorry it is not reliable though..that sucks. I just watched a video about a SQ8 and it's going on my short list if I win the lottery lol! Sorry that your weather has been yucky. I do not like the heat and especially the humidity. Thank God for AC and ventilated seats! Your camping trip is for sure something to look forward to. I have not traveled in so long and I need to for sure. Thanks and wishing the same for you Ceall!!
@@jameswalsh6131 No Raptor yet! Just considering that as the next vehicle as the mileage on my Silverado creeps up. I don’t have ventilated seats in the Silverado, but if I got the Raptor I would! The SQ8 is HOT! The pre-owned RS Q8’s are holding value pretty well as of right now. If you pick one up at the right mileage and price and don’t put a ton of miles on it, you can actually get into and out of one for a pretty low cost of ownership. Something to consider haha! Not to mention they are FAST!
@@CEALLIFORNIA Oh nice! The Raptors are so great. Have you checked out the Ranger Raptor yet? I saw a review and honestly I like it more than the F150 version. The full sized one is just bigger than I would like. The SQ8 is something for me to dream about for sure. I hope that you have had a great weekend and a really great week ahead brother!
That is correct, as long as you get the Denali Reserve package, you will get the 22 inch wheel. If you get the standard, base model Denali w/o Denali Reserve pkg., you will get a 20 inch wheel. Thank you for watching!
If you’re going for performance and fun to drive (aside from the Explorer’s wooden brake pedal), then go Explorer ST. If you want luxury, a nice feeling interior, go Acadia Denali. Thank you for watching!
@@elgatosamurai9517 The Traverse RS is sweet too. I love the look of it, it may not be as fast as the Explorer ST, but the interior may feel slightly higher quality than the ST. Any choice you’ll be happy with, they’re all great in their own ways!
I do agree, It does have a lofty price tag and I do wish that it had some more power. The interior was much better than I was expecting though. Thank you for watching!
I can’t get around the 4cly engine in that car. I like the looks but that engine for 65k would definitely deter me. For now I’ll stick to my Durango with the Hemi.
I don’t blame you I’m the same way. I love the looks of this and the interior, the whole car is great. But the Hemi in a Durango Citadel is a lot more fun albeit having an outdated interior and exterior, I hope they have a refresh on the way for the Durango, I’d like to see what the next body style is gonna look like! Thank you for watching!
I’m considering it! I’m trying to get a Traverse RS lined up for the next video if I can, I have yet to get my hands on that one. Thank you for watching!
Can’t be any worse than what BMW was trying to do and making customers pay for heated seats as a subscription 😂 I personally don’t mind, because you can mirror your Apple CarPlay/AA right up to the same screen in the dash so I would just use that personally. Thank you for watching!
@@grouchosays Roughly a $7,500 price gap between the Traverse RS and the Acadia Denali I reviewed. If you get the Denali without the Denali reserve package or the super cruise, it makes it much less expensive, puts it in the 50’s instead of the 60’s.
Buyer beware! The electric headrests are a real problem! Failing on many vehicles. No parts available at this time. Wait to purchase unless you want a headache of a problem.
That is kind of a nuisance of a problem to have too, that’s too bad. I hope you get your problem resolved soon. Hopefully next year’s model will have this problem solved. Thank you for watching!
For it being a $20,000 gap you definitely would expect there to be a bigger difference, but the Elevation like you said is coming with so many things standard, that it feels close in comparison. Thank you for watching!
First they redo the 2024 Chevrolet Traverse RS and give it $328 horsepower and make it a 4-cylinder and now they do the same exact thing to this vehicle. who's the idiot that's making the decision to make these huge trucks a damn 4-cylinder?
Even though it is also a 4-Cylinder, I would be happy if they put the 2.7L from the Silverado in this. Then it would REALLY go. I do like the 2.7L, I just don’t know what to expect long term with this 2.5L yet. Thank you for watching!
The prices on these new vehicles is getting up there, I’ll be sticking with 2021 Silverado for now with how the truck prices are. Thank you for watching!

Great review - I really like the comparison with the lesser trim version - I also like the look of the wood trim throughout.
Thank you very much for the kind words! I thought this would be an interesting look at how the two differ, thank you for watching!

Can you turn on the headlights if the car isnt running? Can you launch the touch screen on its own?
Yes I did that a few times for this video, I just put it in accessory mode and then the touch screen is accessible to access that headlight switch, then you can shut accessory mode off and the radio will shut off and headlights will stay on. Thank you for watching!

It's a great effort by GMC, my only issue is $64,700 - but only slightly...at $58,000 I think it sells a lot better.
