      @matthewfelio9205 On paper but from what I've seen in many reviews is that it's underwhelming and noisy. I had an Arcadia with the V6 all wheel drive and it ran great.

      ​@bobcat5412, The difference between the engines couldn't make a difference to me buying one because I wouldn't buy a GM in the first place, this product is a glorified mini van.. and we all remember the last minis made by GM blew their gaskets and hydro locked and those were V6s.

      Test drove on and it is WAY noisier and whines at modest acceleration. Also, would expect a lot better fuel economy going to a 4.

    We bought a 2023 Acadia with a V6 in Sept 2023. Dealer wanted us to come look at 2024 version. They were giving us less than half of what we paid for it a year before for trade. And they didn’t have any Acadias for under $60k, so the $43k for Elevation is not realistic without markdowns. And then to see the 4 cylinder engine gets less MPG than our V6 is pathetic.
    I like watching the retro videos and remember seeing the old GM trucks and Suburbans were almost matching these MPGs if not better over 30 years ago. A non turbo V6 in a truck was close to this and a late 80s diesel suburban was better than this. They need to figure this out. Folks seemed to do fine in the past with less than 300hp, but better mileage.

      @jlcii 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      ... Except lack of power was a major complaint about vehicles, even back then. Hence why power has gone up over the years. Now I would prefer an I6 over a turbo 4, and I did not care for the 3.6 V6 at all, but that's just me.

  • @desertmodern7638
    @desertmodern7638 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    I sat in one of these a few days ago and thought it looked great inside and out. I appreciate that it's more powerful than the old V6, but I have a bias against noisy engines and turbo fours in general, so it would not be for me. But for someone who isn't adverse to that, it seems like a really impressive vehicle overall.

    Front end styling was knocked out of the park on this design.

    Overall job nicely done. But applying liberal logic to the environment is clearly not working out and becoming a big failure overall. Lets see, we drop the v6 to put a turbo 4 banger which equals the combined and is 2 mpg lower on the highway then the outgoing V6. I see no logic or savings whatsoever. The only benefit it a little more power so its slightly quicker. HOWEVER the engine is noisy as they said so the benefit is not much of a benefit at all
