Practically speaking, the Acadia’s only direct competitor is the Ford Flex, a crossover vehicle that combines a comparable emphasis on passenger comfort and space with a completely different, boxy style.

Quick Specs | ||||
The 2010 GMC Acadia strikes a good balance: more useful than full-size SUVs for passenger duty, yet a lot better-looking than a minivan. |
A singular look, along with top-shelf turbo power and features, earns the 2011 Ford Flex our top score among utility vehicles. |
If you can get past the garish grille and overwrought look, the 2011 Honda Pilot is a fine family vehicle, with minivan-like interior space and decent performance. |
The 2011 Mazda CX-9 can carry seven in comfort, but it loves curves more than almost any other roomy crossover. |
The very family-friendly Toyota Highlander and Highlander Hybrid impress us with their space and versatility, but show no sign of enthusiasm. |
