2022 GMC Acadia

GM Trucks (opens in a new tab) says the small changes are the deletion of the 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine, a new exterior color (Light Stone Metallic) and GMC Pro Safety Plus made standard across the line, in the middle of a model cycle with no big changes planned. GM Authority (opens in a new tab) marks 2022 as the sixth model year of the second-generation Acadia, refreshed in 2020, and lists six-passenger (2-2-2) seating as standard on all models with seven-passenger (2-3-2) seating available, and the 2.0-liter turbo four as standard on SLE front-wheel-drive models.

KBB lists fuel economy from 19/26 to 22/29 mpg city and highway, and EPA rates the 2022 Acadia at 21 to 25 mpg combined and $2,500 to $2,950 a year in fuel.

NHTSA lists three recall campaigns for the 2022 Acadia. 21V702000 covers a sensing diagnostic module that may have been left in manufacturing mode and not activated at the plant, 22V427000 a left-rear suspension toe link that may have been tightened improperly and could loosen or separate, which dealers inspect and replace, and 22V446000 a fuel tank rollover valve that may not seal properly in a rollover crash, for which dealers inspect the tank and replace the shell as needed.

Owners have filed 49 complaints with NHTSA: electrical system with 15, engine with 14, unknown or other with 10, fuel and propulsion system with 8, and seat belts and power train with 4 each. ProblemsByVin (opens in a new tab) calls it a light NHTSA footprint, with 49 complaints and three recalls.

Kelley Blue Book (opens in a new tab) lists used 2022 Acadia prices from $20,400 for the SLE to $28,300 for the Denali at a dealership, with trade-in values of about $15,400 to $23,500 and private-party values of about $19,200 to $26,600.

EPA rates the 2022 Acadia at 21 to 25 mpg combined and $2,500 to $2,950 a year in fuel. The 2022 Chevrolet Traverse rates 20 to 21 at $2,950 to $3,100, the Ford Explorer 19 to 27 at $2,300 to $3,300, the Honda Pilot 21 to 23 at $2,700 to $2,950 and the Toyota Highlander 23 to 36 at $1,750 to $2,700, the top figure being its hybrid. On EPA figures the Acadia is more efficient than its Traverse cousin and level with the Pilot, and the Highlander hybrid is far more efficient than any of them.
