Reviews SummaryRedesigned for the new model year, the 2024 GMC Acadia is a three-row crossover SUV that shares a platform with the Chevrolet Traverse and Buick Enclave, and gets similar updates to those crossovers for 2024. The Acadia grows longer, wider, and taller, features a revamped interior, and employs a new turbocharged four-cylinder engine, among other changes. Verdict: The Acadia’s well-executed interior and tech features stand out, but its design and driving experience don’t. | |
Reviews SummaryG-Wagens aside, the now-discontinued M-Class is what cemented Mercedes-Benz’s place in the SUV jungle. The descendant of that pioneering model is the 2025 Mercedes-Benz GLE, which continues as the automaker’s entry into a midsize luxury SUV segment populated by the Acura MDX, Audi Q7, BMW X5, Genesis GV80, and Lexus RX. Mercedes also sells a GLE Coupe that competes with the BMW X6. A new GLE 450 4Matic Coupe is available for 2025. Verdict: The GLE is a solid luxury SUV for families, but its competition is equally good. | |
