What’s New For 2024?
The new 2024 Acadia is ready to take the world by storm. With its third generation of production, it has undergone some significant changes. The V6 engine has been replaced by a more powerful turbocharged 2.5-liter inline-four, delivering an impressive 328 horsepower. The eight-speed automatic and all-wheel-drive ensure a smooth and effortless driving experience. The redesign has made the Acadia larger, with a 10.6-inch-longer wheelbase and a 3.2-inch increase in height. You won't have to wait long to experience the Acadia's improvements, as it will be available in early 2024.
The 2024 Ford Explorer has no major styling changes from last year's model. The hybrid powertrain has been eliminated, but the Explorer remains a force to be reckoned with.
Interior
The new Acadia's interior is truly a class apart from its previous model. GMC has taken a giant leap by incorporating premium materials and advanced technology. With its larger size, additional cubby storage, and a column-mounted shifter, cargo and passenger space are greatly enhanced. The Acadia offers you the liberty to choose between a seven- or eight-passenger three-row, with the second row being a full bench or captain's chairs. The third row of the Acadia offers more space for groceries, and you can even find a helpful storage space under its floor. With the new Acadia, you don't have to sacrifice comfort, space, or luxury.
The Ford Explorer may not boast the most exciting interior design, but it is functional and comfortable. The cabin is particularly spacious in the first two rows, and the third row is easily accessible thanks to a mechanism that moves the second-row seat out of the way with the touch of a button. While the third-row seat may not be ideal for taller adults, it's perfect for kids. With both back rows folded flat, the Explorer offers an impressive 31 bags of storage space, and even with the third row up, you can fit four carry-on suitcases.

Performance
The new Acadia is the complete package, powered by a 328-horsepower turbocharged 2.5-liter inline-four engine, which delivers an impressive 326 lb-ft of torque. With an eight-speed automatic transmission, the Acadia's performance is top-notch, providing you with a smooth and powerful driving experience. Whether you're an all-wheel drive enthusiast or prefer the standard front-wheel drive, the Acadia has got you covered. What's more, the new Acadia shares its bones with the Chevrolet Traverse, which means you can expect a well-built, reliable, and durable vehicle that's ready for any adventure.
The Ford Explorer is a vehicle that packs a punch under the hood. With Base, XLT, and Limited trims, you get a 300-horsepower turbocharged 2.3-liter 4-cylinder engine that offers a reasonable amount of authority. But if you're someone who loves to feel the power while driving, then King Ranch, Platinum, or ST models are perfect for you. These models are equipped with a 400-horsepower twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 engine. The Explorer's rear-wheel-drive platform and optional all-wheel drive ensure that you get a smooth ride. Plus, the 10-speed automatic transmission is standard across all models.
