Safety - What the Auto Press Says

The 2010 GMC Acadia earns top five-star scores for all seating positions in both frontal and side-impact federal government crash tests. The 2009 model was designated an Insurance Institute for Highway Safety "Top Safety Pick" for its good performance and standard electronic stability control.

• "The Acadia includes many common safety features and a few rarities for this price range. Side curtain airbags are designed to preemptively engage if there is imminent threat of a rollover and stay inflated longer during a rollover." -- Cars.com
• "One strange option on this truck: HUD. Yep, just like on a Corvette, you can get a ute with a heads-up-display. I happen to like HUDs, and this one was a bit unique. You don't really need to pay attention to the tach, like you would in say a Vette, so the speedo number is dominant in the display. And when you have XM tuned in, the song name is flashed across the screen. Again, not something that's really necessary, and it's probably another unneeded distraction, but at least you don't have to take your eyes off the road." -- AutoWeek
• "Many drivers will appreciate the raised seating position, which gives a clear view of the road. However, a high beltline limits rearward visibility, making parking lot maneuvers more difficult." -- Kelley Blue Bookv
