The Holden Acadia brought a distinctively American flavour to Australian family motoring, arriving as a large seven-seat SUV based on the GMC Acadia and tuned locally for our roads. Sold from 2018, it offered strong V6 performance, a nine-speed automatic transmission, available all-wheel drive, and generous cabin space, making it a practical choice for school runs, road trips, towing duties, and weekend adventures. With features such as autonomous emergency braking, lane keep assist, adaptive cruise control on higher grades, tri-zone climate control, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and flexible second and third-row seating, the Acadia represented Holden’s push toward modern SUV buyers as the traditional Commodore era came to a close.

One interesting piece of trivia is that the Acadia was one of the last new models introduced before the Holden brand was retired in Australia, giving it a unique place in local automotive history. Its local suspension and steering calibration also reflected Holden’s long-running reputation for making imported models better suited to Australian conditions. At Automotive Superstore, owners can keep their Holden Acadia performing, protecting, and looking its best with quality parts and accessories, including brake components, filters, wiper blades, oils, batteries, roof racks, floor mats, cargo protection, lighting upgrades, towing accessories, and car care products.
