Which SUV is right for you? GMC Acadia vs GMC Yukon

New GMC Acadia

New GMC Yukon

Every generation has a distinctive vehicle that they nostalgically remember from road trips and vacations growing up around Long Island. Baby boomers grew up in station wagons, while Generation X and Generation Y enjoyed vans and minivans as kids. Now, vehicles that will be remembered in years to come are SUVs.
Unlike vans, SUVs have better driving characteristics, offering maneuverability and confidence. They are made for drivers who want smooth operation, instead of bulkiness. At the same time, they offer greater interior space and flexibility than station wagons of old.

New GMC Yukon

No other SUVs do a better job of hauling passengers, hauling cargo, and providing an engaging ride than the 2022 GMC Acadia and the 2022 GMC Yukon. But which one works best for you and your lifestyle?
For some people, size does truly matter. Maybe you’ve got plenty of space in your Hempstead driveway – or maybe you need something smaller to fit in your parallel parking spot in Rockville Centre, New York. But we at Rockville Centre GMC can help you identify what’s right for you.

The Yukon comes in two different sizes—big and bigger. The standard Yukon measures 210 inches overall with the Yukon XL adding on to that and stretching to 225.2 inches total. Both are 81 inches wide, and 76.5 inches high, so they can be a tough squeeze for lower parking structures, garages, and tight Great Neck parking lots.
The Acadia is a better fit for smaller spaces, standing 66.7 inches high, and 75.4 inches wide. At 193.4 inches long, it’ll have no problem squeezing into a townhouse garage.
These smaller dimensions, along with a wheelbase that is 8.4 inches shorter than the Yukon and 21.6 inches shorter than the Yukon XL, provides for a vehicle that is a little easier to handle for drivers used to sedans or compact SUVs.

On the Inside

Inside of the Acadia
Despite its smaller size, the GMC Acadia is still pretty spacious. It can carry up to six passengers, but unlike many midsize three-row SUVs, the rear seat is big enough for an average adult.
Whereas competitors like the Toyota Highlander only offer 27.7 inches of third-row legroom and 36.1 inches of headroom, the Acadia offers 29.7 inches and 37.2 inches respectively, and is the roomiest third row in the class.
Even with all three rows in place, it offers plenty of cargo space with 12.8 cubic feet, capable of fitting a few suitcases. This can be expanded up to 41.7 cubic feet with the third row stowed or 79 cubic feet behind the first row.
Inside of the Yukon
If spacious is what you’re looking for, though, the Yukon’s size makes it one of the roomiest vehicles on the market. The Yukon has seating for up to eight passengers, although each passenger gets a little less space than in the Acadia. However, there’s plenty of additional storage. Even with all eight passengers, you can fit in 25.5 cubic feet of cargo space, expandable up to 122.9 cubic feet.
But if that’s not enough, don’t forget that the Yukon also offers the Yukon XL. Every seat offers 34.9 inches of legroom or more, and every seat offers at least 38.2 inches of headroom. That’s enough space for eight adults to be comfortable if you’re driving from the tip of Long Island into the heart of New York City.
Even with all seats in place, the cavernous cargo hold has 41.5 cubic feet to offer—enough for eight sets of golf clubs or eight suitcases. If you need more space, maybe to bring some antiques home to Great Neck from Long Island Flea, seats can be stowed to expand the carrying capacity up to 144.7 cubic feet. If you can buy it, the Yukon XL can hold it.

First, the Acadia
With Nassau County winters, you’ll value the optional all-wheel drive of the GMC Acadia or the available four-wheel drive for the GMC Yukon. They’ll help you to conquer the frozen or snowy roads.
In the GMC Acadia, you have the choice of a 2.0L Turbo four-cylinder engine and a 3.6L V6 engine. Achieving an EPA-estimated combined 25 miles per gallon—up to 22 city/29 highway MPG—the 2.0L engine is definitely efficient. It generates up to 228 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque.
If horsepower is what you’re after, the 3.6L engine generates 310 horsepower and 271 lb-ft of torque, plenty for overtaking other cars on the expressway. The larger engine also offers more towing, capable of hauling 4,000 pounds compared to the 3,300-pound capability with the four-cylinder.
Now for the Yukon
Although the fuel efficiency of the Acadia is undoubtedly better, the power put out by the Yukon is the superior of the two. With the standard 5.3L V8 engine, you’ll achieve an EPA-estimated 15 city/20 highway MPG. With the larger 6.2L V8, the stats stay solid with 15 city MPG around Rockville Centre or 20 highway MPG on the highways of Nassau County.
But what do you get for that? The smaller engine churns out a confident and assertive 355 horsepower and 383 lb-ft of torque. It is responsive the minute you step on the accelerator and can overtake any vehicle on the freeway even with a full load. With this engine, you can tow up to 7,900 pounds when properly equipped.
The larger engine appears in the Denali trim and aims at surpassing the moving weight. With 420 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque, it is unmatched in the full-size category. It can tow up to 8,400 pounds when properly equipped, so if you want to tow a boat or full-sized camper in comfort, it won’t hesitate.

Technology and Luxury

Every GMC vehicle is filled with the latest comforts and technologies. It’s not just having a big interior that matters—you’ve got to do something with it.
Both the GMC Yukon and GMC Acadia provide high-end fit and finish, utilizing modern materials for a sleek, comfortable feel. Both offer an upscale Denali model that brings out the big guns, including heated and ventilated front seats and heated outboard second-row seats, all decked out with available perforated leather upholstery. Tri-zone climate control is standard on all Acadia and Yukon models, to ensure comfort for every row.
Tech features including Bluetooth® hands-free phone and streaming audio are standard on every Yukon and Acadia. Every model is capable of being equipped with 4G Wi-Fi Hotspot connectivity. This keeps you and your passengers connected, whether you’re just out running errands in Great Neck or Rockville Centre or taking off on a long-distance road trip.
High-end Bose® audio systems are offered on the Acadia with eight speakers. They’re standard on all Yukon models. The accompanying Bose Centerpoint® Surround with audio system with 14 speakers is offered in the Yukon Denali trim.

Safety is Always on Our Minds

It’s not just award-winning crash safety that makes these SUVs smart choices. The GMC-exclusive Teen Driver feature, standard on every model Acadia and Yukon, monitors your rookie motorist. It allows you to set up limitations on certain systems and gives you a record of how your new driver is doing.
Many trims come with a HD Rear Vision Camera system, making it easier and safer to back in or out in busy Nassau County parking lots or Great Neck streets. If you need more wraparound views, add the upgraded HD Surround Vision camera for expanded visibility in either vehicle.
Active safety features such Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, Forward Collision Alert, and Automatic Emergency Braking are available on Yukon and Acadia models.
For more backup, several rear safety systems can be found. They include Rear Cross Traffic Alert and the Rear Parking Assist. While your camera keeps everything in sight, these systems warn you of obstacles or pedestrians in your path and guide you through challenging parking situations.
Your trailer can even be monitored through systems such as Trailer Side Blind Zone Alert. If you think this may be a system you’ll use, make sure that you stick with one of the Yukon models.
GMC feels that advanced safety equipment should be available regardless of what size truck or car you want.

Both the 2022 GMC Acadia and the 2022 GMC Yukon are great choices. It’s simply a matter of what is the right fit for your family, your daily travels, and your lifestyle. Consider what both offer and see what matches your driving style and goals.
We’ve got plenty of versions of both vehicles here at Rockville Centre GMC, ready for you to check out in person and take out for a test drive. We’re easy to get to from anywhere on Long Island, so stop in today and check them out! We also cater to motorists all over Rockville Centre and Hempstead, NY.
