The car has actually been produced in the US for some time under the GMV badge, and was imported into Australia as a right-hand drive unit. With that in mind, the Acadia is based on a crossover-SUV design, while also sharing some of the rugged underpinnings of an American pick-up truck.

  The Holden Acadia is no longer sold new across Australia, with the last of the brand's models cleared in 2020 when Holden sold all remaining stock following its exit from the local market. Nonetheless, at the time, the Acadia range kicked off with the 2WD LT, which retailed for $30,300, while the top-spec Acadia LTZ-V AWD was priced at $63,910. If you are looking at a second-hand model you will want to see a pretty steep discount from these prices, which are based on the Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price from 2020.
