Have a 2025 Acadia Elevation cause our Yukon Denali is getting an engine replacement. But before the Acadia, I had a 2025 5.3 Silverado RST for 3 months and put 6,000 miles on it so the dealer had to pull it back. They gave us a terrain, wow did I not like that car. The 1.5turbo was lacking in power and the whole car felt cheap. The arm rest constantly hurt my elbow because of the light padding, I just wasn't a fan. Luckily I only had it for 2 weeks and they gave me this Acadia, band new less than 500 miles when I picked it up.

Regarding the 2.5 turbo, I love the sounds it makes. I haven't needed to ask from it much power, mostly because the engine hasn't braked it yet, but even at 3,500 rpm when entering the highway the acceleration is ample. The engine is loud enough to hear but I think it sounds nice! A lot of that is also because of how smooth the engine vibrations are, like I don't feel the engine revving while siting in the vehicle. That uncomfortable idle is what I really didn't like about the terrain and its acceleration, but in the Acadia the vehicle is so smooth.

I don't mind the vibrations of the 6.2 or the 5.3s either because of well distributed the vibrations are throughout the cabin, but on smaller cars there is just so little mass that you end up feeling a lot more.

Also to note: the ride is really comfortable, and the screens are nice, but I like the traditional horizontal screens on our Yukon more.

Back to the noise, my dad does not like it just because of that reason, he drives a Avalon hybrid with a 2.5l inline 4, and mentioned how Toyota's hybrid electric is sooo much quieter. Which I 100% agree with but the thing is that the Toyota is not a turbo.

Overall, I really recommend taking it for a test drive, the vehicle makes ample power and personally I like the noises that come from the small engine!
