When you get ready to hit the road to drive to work or the store or begin a road trip, it’s important to know your passengers are protected. GMC vehicles provide owners with style, reliability, and safety. With so many features available, you might need help working out which cars have the features that best match your needs. If you’re searching for an SUV, chances are safety ranks as one of the most important factors in deciding which vehicle is right for you.
GMC offers three SUV models: the Terrain, Acadia, and Yukon. All three models have an impressive list of safety features that will leave you feeling comfortable, whichever one you choose. The following guide takes a look at all three SUV models, breaking down their safety features to help you decide which vehicle is the right match for navigating Springfield roads. All the safety features mentioned below apply to 2023 models.
GMC Terrain
The GMC Terrain ranks big when it comes to safety. It has the distinction of earning an overall rating of “Good” from the Insurance Institute of Highway Safety (IIHS) and a 5-star rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). If safety is the number one concern in your search for a vehicle, you can stop here.
All trims are equipped with the GMC Pro Safety package, which includes the following features:
- Automatic emergency braking.
- Lane-keep assist with lane departure warning.
- Forward collision alert.
- Front pedestrian braking.
- Following distance indicator.
- IntelliBeam auto high beams.
In addition, the Denali trim features:
- Lane change alert with side blind zone alert.
- Rear cross traffic alert.
- Rear park assist.
On top of its exceptional safety features, the Terrain also comes equipped with other notable features, such as a luggage rack, an 8-inch infotainment system, a six-speaker audio system, and Bluetooth capabilities.
The Terrain provides the comfort and room of an SUV while minimizing the bulkiness often associated with this type of vehicle. Exceptional safety ratings and an array of safety features create a compact and conscientious choice. The Terrain is GMC’s best-selling SUV.
GMC Acadia
The midsized GMC Acadia is another great option when it comes to safety. Like the Terrain, the Acadia also received an impressive 5 stars from the NHTSA. In addition, the Acadia achieved a “Good” rating on all crashworthiness measures from the IIHS.
All trims feature the GMC Pro Safety Plus package, which includes the below features:
- Automatic emergency braking.

In addition to these features, the Acadia also includes the latest technology to help you feel ready to tackle any obstacle the road might throw at you. In addition to the GMC Pro Safety Plus package, the Acadia also includes the following safety features:
- Adaptive cruise control.
- Safety alert seat.
- Rear seat reminder.
- Teen driver mode.
- Rear camera mirror (available on the Denali).
- High-definition surround vision (available on the Denali, AT4, and SLT).
Teen driver mode is especially helpful if you have a new driver hitting the road soon. This feature allows you to set limits on the radio and infotainment system so your teen can focus on what’s really important while driving. In addition, this mode creates a report card to let you know how your driver is doing. The GMC Acadia also comes with a multitude of features to help make your ride more enjoyable, such as a hands-free, programmable liftgate, heated mirrors, and advanced temperature control.
This third-row SUV continues to check all the boxes for what it takes to make a versatile SUV: you’ll find good gas mileage, comfortable seating, and extra cargo space in this vehicle. These qualities, combined with its exceptional safety features, make the Acadia a great all-around SUV.
GMC Yukon
The GMC Yukon strives to make your driving experience safe and enjoyable. You’ll feel like you’re riding in luxury as you cruise the town in a Yukon. As always, safety is of utmost importance, and the NHTSA has awarded the Yukon with a 4-star rating. In addition to the GMC Pro Safety Plus package mentioned above, the Yukon takes things to the next level with more advanced safety features designed to make you feel confident while navigating the roads.
The Yukon has several unique safety features, including:
- Super Cruise technology.
- Hands-free driving on more than 200,000 miles of roads in the US and Canada.
- Hands-free trailer pulling.
- Hands-free automatic lane changing.
- Up to 13 camera views.
While safety is crucial, these are not the Yukon’s only features that will impress you. Alpine Umber leather upholstery, open-pore wood trim, and an 18-speaker audio system lend a luxurious feel, while an impressive 7,500 towing capacity adds to the versatility of the Yukon.
The GMC Yukon is an SUV that will make you feel safe and secure on the road. With the capacity to seat up to eight passengers, there’s no shortage of room for you to bring all your family and friends with you on your next great road trip.
