GMC Acadia
The three-row Acadia has a steady and composed ride, and respon-
sive handling. The smooth 3.6-liter V6 returned 19 mpg when we
tested it with the original six-speed automatic transmission. A nine-
speed automatic is new for 2020, and should slightly improve gas
mileage A less powerful 2.5-liter four-cylinder is standard, and a new
2.0-liter turbo four-cylinder is optional. The interior is very quiet, the
front seats are comfortable, and the infotainment system is easy to
use. The outboard second-row seats can slide and tilt forward, even
with a child seat in place. But many luxury features, such as four-way
adjustable lumbar support, a power sunroof shade, and auto-up win-
dows, are missing even on the high-end Denali version. 2020 models
get a tricky to use push-button gear selector. Forward collision warn-
ing with automatic braking and blind spot warning are optional.

Genesis G90
The f lagship sedan from Hyundai’s luxury brand, Genesis, is the
G90, which features a 5.0-liter V8 or a 3.3-liter turbocharged V6,
the better choice of the two. Both are mated to a smooth eight-speed
automatic and are available with either rear- or all-wheel drive. The
spacious cabin is decked out in soft materials and trimmed in wood
and chrome, but it comes up short on wow factor. We like that the
controls are user friendly. The ride is cushy and cosseting, and the
cabin is super-quiet. Handling is responsive though not sporty. As
is typical for this oft-chauffeur-driven class, the backseat is really
the place to be. Those in back even get controls in the rear armrest
to manage audio and climate settings. A complete suite of advanced
safety features is standard.
