The 5 Most Exciting Gadgets in a GMC Acadia

Today’s GMC Acadia is available loaded with some exciting new technology to keep you entertained, engaged, and safe. And by employing the most modern in tech, the engineers at GMC have created a family SUV that is chock full of bells and whistles.

Intelligent Light Control

Because nothing is more important than the well being of you and your passengers, the GMC Acadia has been loaded with amazing new features to help keep you safe.

But the most exciting feature no doubt has to be the new Intellibeam headlight feature.

By determining traffic around you in dark conditions, your GMC Acadia will automatically switch between high and low beam lights, allowing you to keep your focus trained on the road ahead while respecting the eyes and vision of drivers headed your way.

Staying in Line

With an all-new suite of automated braking, front pedestrian braking, and following distance indicators, it’s tough to say which is the coolest and most utilitarian of all these new advancements in tech.

But if we had to choose, we’d say the lane keep assist with lane departure warning element takes the cake.

By using a gentle automated turn on the wheel to alert you that you may be drifting out of your lane, lane keep assist is one of the most amazing new elements of driver safety technology.

Of course, like most new tech, it’s smart, so you need not worry about it if your turn signal is on or if you’re intentionally changing lanes.

Alexa, Tell Me Why My Acadia is So Cool

That’s right. The new GMC Acadia can come loaded with Amazon’s in-home… or, I guess in-car… personal assistant, Alexa.

With just the sound of your voice, you can ask for directions, change the music, make a phone call, check the weather, find parking, and so much more.

You can even interface with your home’s smart devices.

Worried you forgot to turn your smart dryer off before leaving? Just ask Alexa. Getting home later than you thought and need to turn the lights on? Alexa can do it. And all from the comfort of your Acadia.

Eyes on the Road

Keeping your eyes focused on the road ahead. It’s essentially what’s at the core of almost all new vehicle technology. Because eyes on the road equals safe driving.

And one of the coolest and most futuristic flourishes in a new GMC Acadia is the six-inch, full-color heads-up display that can be projected on your windshield, keeping you apprised of your speed, navigation elements, fuel gauge, tachometer, phone, and so much more.

This allows you to keep your eyes on the road while processing all the information you need to pilot your vehicle.

With 360-degree Views

Whether it’s the rear-view camera mirror, which uses a rear-mounted camera to provide a wider and less obstructed view in your standard rearview (an option that can be toggled on and off with a traditional rear-view mirror) or the all-new high def surround vision that uses multiple exterior cameras to display a digital overhead image of the area surrounding your Acadia, you’ve never been more in tuned with the road around you than ever before.
