Enclave vs Acadia: Engine Specs and Gas Mileage 

When it comes to choosing your next vehicle, it’s important to consider what’s under the hood to get a better idea of the type of performance you’ll be treated to.
The 2020 GMC Acadia offers three powertrain options, so you can choose the amount of power your daily drives call for…

Engine Option                                     Horsepower                    Torque (lb-ft)
      2.5-liter 4-cylinder                                193                                 188
      2.0-liter turbo 4-cylinder                      230                                 258
      3.6-liter V6                                             310                                 271
In the 2020 Buick Enclave, you’ll only have a 310-horsepower V6 motor. However, it provides some serious benefits in terms of fuel economy.
