    Holden Acadia Review, For Sale, Interior, Specs, Colours & Models

    FROM
    $20,350

    If the Holden Acadia could talk it would have an American accent. That’s because this large, seven-seat SUV is made in Tennessee and wears a GMC badge when in the USA. Exported from the United States in right-hand drive the Holden Acadia has called Australia home since it first arrived here in 2018, effectively replacing the ageing seven-seat Captiva.

    Buyers have a choice between a front-wheel drive and an all-wheel drive, although only one engine is available – a V6 petrol.

    From launch there were three grades in the Holden Acadia range. The Acadia LT (2WD) kicks things off at $20,350 with the top model, Acadia LTZ-V (2WD) priced at $35,530.

    The Acadia is up against some pretty fierce seven-seater rivals in the form of Mazda’s CX-9, Kia Sorento and Nissan Pathfinder.

    Holden Acadia FAQs

    The air-condition in my 2018 Holden Acadia isn't working

    The workshop you want is a specialist air-conditioning business. Air-con might have a simple job to do, but it’s a complex system with lots of interlocks to protect the various bit and pieces. If, for instance, the gas level is low, a sensor will detect this and disable the air-con compressor so the system can’t be damaged by running with low gas or lubricant. So, simply replacing sensors and other bits and pieces randomly is a great way to tear up money and still not fix the problem.

    You need to have the system checked by somebody who understands the technology. They will test for leaks, check whether the system is holding pressure and then check the operation of the rest of the hardware including the compressor, receiver-drier, condenser, blower-fan and relevant filters.

    If you’re lucky, the system may just need re-gassing, but you could also be up for some expensive new parts if there’s other damage or problems. But without a proper diagnosis, you’re flying blind.

    What are the best 7-seat SUV's?

    A better option for someone with a tribe to transport would be a peoplemover, such as the Kia Carnival, Hyundai iMax, or VW Transporter. They’re made for that purpose and much more practical than an SUV.

    Does the Holden Acadia 2019 have enough space for three baby seats?

    The Acadia doesn’t boast a diesel engine, so economy could be an issue for your daughter; also it’s only a little longer than the Kia Sorento, so space could be another problem. A better choice would be the Mazda CX-9.

    Holden Acadia Interior

    Refined isn’t a word you’d use to describe the Holden Acadia's interior, because while its truck-like looks make it appealing on the outside, the commercial styling in the cabin is disappointing. As shown in our road test review images, moulded plastics around the doors and hard plastics on the dashboard and centre console look tacky (and feel cheap). The Acadia’s cabin lags behind the more stylish cockpit of Mazda's CX-9 with its excellent fit and finish. Buying a higher grade in the Acadia range won’t really improve the cabin scenery much either. The LTZ-V is the top-of-the-line Acadia and while it comes with ventilated leather seat trim, the rest of the cabin looks almost identical in styling and materials to the base-grade LT.

    The interior of the LT could be made to feel a little more plush and special.
