2018 Holden Acadia Preview Drive REVIEW – Seven-Seater With American Swagger
AT LONG LAST, HOLDEN WILL FINALLY HAVE A FULL-SIZED, ROAD-BIASED FAMILY SUV ON DEALERSHIP FORECOURTS IN MID-2018, WITH THE ARRIVAL OF THE NEW ACADIA.
Designed and built by GMC in North America, there's little doubt this is an SUV for the "soccer mom" set.
Seven seats, a choice of four-cylinder or V6 petrol engines (potentially), all-wheel-drive and plenty of interior features to keep young minds occupied.
We took the 2018 Acadia for a quick spin at Holden's Lang Lang proving ground in Victoria ahead of its local launch next year.
Vehicle Style: Large SUV
Price: TBA
Engine/trans: TBA | 6sp automatic
OVERVIEW
Holden never quite came up with an answer to the genius of Ford's Territory SUV.
The high-riding, Commodore-based Adventra, budget Captiva and bush-bashing Colorado 7 all brought positive attributes without managing to address the comprehensive appeal of Ford's all-Australian SUV.
