Part 2: Trims & Features

Producing up to 288 horsepower, the 3.6 liters V-6 engine offers smooth and linear power. The 2011 Acadia Denali glides easily down the road. The Denali is able to stow 24.1 cubic feet of luggage in a standard seating position. This spaces increases when you fold the third-row seat to 68.7 cubic feet and if you drop the second row of seating, the cargo space is increased up to 115.9 cubic feet. Don't be intimidated, while some cars are a hassle to fold down the rear seats, the Acadia Denali easily adjusts both rows on the fly.

The Acadia can easily be customized by the buyer, additional features include stunning "white diamond" paint that costs $795, rear-seat DVD player for $1,445 and even a touch-screen navigation system for another $1,890. It also features high-intensity discharge head lamps, eight-way powered driver seat adjustment, chrome interior accents, OnStar 9.0, and six standard airbags.

SL models include body-color moldings, Bluetooth, remote vehicle start, and leather-wrapped steering wheel with audio controls. Overall, the Acadia Denali represents a great model for families who are in need of a lot of space. Even if its price may seem quite high, most experts agree that it is worth the extra money. The Acadia offers interior space on par with any other SUV, and a comfortable drive that is hard to match. The great fuel economy and the aggressive and attractive exterior are a plus. Other additional perks can include an audio system that incorporates a USB port, as well as a Bose sound system with 10 speakers, rearview camera system, XM satellite radio, and an 8-way power adjustable driver's seat.

The Acadia Denali SUV has comfy seats and the acres of personal space add to the overall comfort. In addition, the sliding and folding 2nd row captain's chairs, and the adult-friendly 3rd row provide ample seating and storage space. However, the car is quite heavy and weighs in at 2 tons. Its acceleration is actually quite impressive, contrary to what others expect. The 3-zone climate control, the upgraded stereo, the dual-pane roof, and the heads-up display that projects the car's directions and speed right in the windshield add to the overall package.
