GMC Acadia 3.6 V6 279

The GMC Acadia 3.6 V6 279 reaches 60 mph in 7.99 s (100 km/h in 8.52 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 16.23 s, tripping the lights at 82.9 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.42 s and the eighth mile in 10.31 s.

Simulated, not measured — computed from published kerb mass, rated power, gearing and drivetrain, then fitted to this car’s own published acceleration figures. Dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

About the Acadia 3.6 V6 279

The 2007 GMC Acadia 3.6 V6 279 is an all-wheel-drive naturally aspirated SUV of 2,239 kg with 275 bhp, which works out at 123 bhp per tonne. All-wheel drive is worth most in the first car length: it covers 60 ft in 2.42 s, which is where a four-wheel-drive car takes its margin out of a rear-drive one with the same power. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 6,505th quickest to 60 mph, and the 8th quickest of the 10 GMCs here. It leaves better than it pulls: 82.9 mph at the lights is only the 8,412th highest here, so its 0-60 flatters what it does further out. The simulation is trimmed to 2 of 2 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the GMC Acadia 3.6 V6 279 0-60 time?
The GMC Acadia 3.6 V6 279 reaches 60 mph in 7.99 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 6,505th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the GMC Acadia 3.6 V6 279 quarter mile time?
16.23 s at 82.9 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.31 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.42 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the GMC Acadia 3.6 V6 279 have?
275 bhp and 2,239 kg, which is 123 bhp per tonne. It is all-wheel-drive, naturally aspirated, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 172 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the GMC Acadia 3.6 V6 279?
Closest here on pace: Peugeot 3008 2.0 BlueHDi 180 (8.00 s), Volvo XC60 2.0T 203 (7.99 s), Daewoo Winstorm 3.2 V6 230 (7.96 s). Each one can be raced against the GMC Acadia 3.6 V6 279 in the panel at the top of this page. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
Are these real measured times?
No. Every figure on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. The GMC Acadia 3.6 V6 279 is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 2 of its 2 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

Figures regenerated 2026-10-12. Every number on this page is computed by the simulator at build time, so the page and the app can never disagree.
