holden acadia review

Remember the Holden Acadia? It’s the American seven-seater sent Down Under, packing a 3.6‑litre V6 and a nine-speed auto to hustle school runs with surprising pace. Cabin space is generous, tech is modern for its era, and Holden’s local chassis tune adds a dash of Aussie grit to the ride.

But thirst is the tax: expect around 10–12 L/100km in the real world and a braked tow rating near 2000 kg, so weekend trailers are fine, caravans less so. Safety kit is strong and it scored a 5‑star ANCAP, yet the brand’s exit dents resale—silver lining: used prices are sharp (roughly $20k–$45k depending trim). New, they lived in the mid‑$40ks to high‑$60ks; now they’re a value play if you want big, comfy, and not fussy about badges.
