GMC puts this trim at the top of this midsize SUV and brings a high-quality drive to your experience. The Acadia comes standard with the turbocharged 4-cylinder engine and the option of the V6 model. Both powertrains allow for FWD or AWD functionality, but the Denali trim does not have the Active Torque System from the off-road-focused AT4 model.

If you’re looking for the foundational model for this GMC SUV, the SLT trim is where you go. The Denali includes features from the Preferred and Technology Packages as part of the standard fare for this top trim. This model of the Acadia also includes 20-inch aluminum wheels and heated second-row seats.

What do the SLT packages offer to make the Denali a better SUV for you to drive?

The 2023 GMC Acadia Denali is comfortable, packed with impressive features, and offers some impressive options. It certainly has some items that can put it ahead of luxury brands but it doesn’t have the best technology from GM, which might keep it out of consideration as a luxury SUV. Still, if you want a top trim level with a reasonable price and a long list of features, the Acadia Denali is an excellent choice.
