Highlights of the 2022 Acadia SLE & SLT

The Acadia is a mid-size crossover SUV that offers a plentiful amount of features and amenities for an affordable price. It comes in two models, the SLE and SLT, each with a different set of trims. Read on to learn some of the top highlights including features, specs, and other details about each model.

SLE

The 2022 SLE trim is the base model for the Acadia. The SLE has a starting price point of $33,995 and is the barebones package for the Acadia. The SLT offers a comparable and almost identical base model to SLE but includes more features than its counterpart.

Features

As a starting point, the SLE trim will get you 18-inch alloy wheels with full wheel covers in either silver or black paint finishes, daytime running lights, heated mirrors and steering wheel when desired, keyless entry system with a push-button start which includes a remote vehicle starter option on certain models to preheat your vehicle in cold weather conditions before driving it.

The SLT trim’s base model also offers many of these same features but comes standard with more than what is offered by its counterpart. The SLE trim will get you basic LED daytime running lights, fog lamps which are optional on the SLT but standard on the Acadia.

Horsepower

The Acadia SLE’s engine is one of the most powerful engines in the industry. It has a horsepower rating of 300, which is more than enough to power it on any surface or terrain.

The Acadia SLE also comes with an 8-speed automatic transmission, which makes it even better for off-road driving and other difficult situations. The engine can produce up to 295 pound-feet of torque at 2200 RPM, which again proves that this vehicle is made for power.

This SUV also features a cylinder deactivation system that reduces fuel consumption by 10% on average while still maintaining performance levels. This system also helps make sure you get better gas mileage out of your vehicle no matter what kind of driving you’re doing.

Seating

The Acadia SLE provides seating for up to six or seven passengers, with the third-row seats folding flat into the floor. The second row offers a bench seat or captain’s chairs. The first row has two bucket seats and an armrest console that flips down to reveal a hidden storage compartment. There are also sliding rear doors on both sides of the vehicle, which allows easy access for all passengers in every seat.

SLT

The 2022 SLT trim is the equivalent of the SLE trim in the Acadia range. The SLT has a starting price point of $35,095 and is a package that offers a host of features beyond the SLE trim.

Features

The SLT comes equipped with just about every feature you would need in an SUV while still getting great gas mileage for towing up to 5,200 pounds, which is good considering it has just over 300 horsepower.

This includes great gas mileage for towing while still getting good fuel efficiency. Notable features include heated rear seats, power-adjustable pedals, leather seating surfaces, ventilated front seats, ambient lighting throughout the cabin including cargo area lights, and footwell illumination which illuminates when you open any door or start your engine at night.

Horsepower

The Acadia SLT is a premium SUV with high-quality features. It has the power to take you on any adventure, from your daily commute to a weekend getaway.

The engine in the Acadia SLE and SLT will be a 3.6-liter V6 that delivers 295 horsepower and 265 lb.-ft of torque. That’s enough to give it an 8% fuel efficiency improvement over the previous generation’s V8 engine! The new engine also offers more low-end torque for better acceleration off the line, as well as improved highway gas mileage due to its two-cylinder deactivation technology which allows it to operate on fewer cylinders when cruising at higher speeds. Plus, this lightweight aluminum alloy body will help reduce weight by up to 200 pounds, which will improve the power-to-weight ratio.

Seating

The Acadia SLT offers seating for up to seven people. The seats are very comfortable and feature a massage function that you can turn on at any time during your drive. You can also adjust the lumbar support, headrest, thigh support, and seat width to your liking with just the touch of a button.

Looking at the 2022 Acadia SLE and SLT models, the top highlights include many of the exclusive new features, specs, and more. These models have been designed with a focus on attracting family car buyers who need a comfortable way to transport their whole family in equal comfort.
