There is almost no credible argument that can be made as to how the 2019 Honda CR-V is able to outperform the 2019 GMC Acadia. Entry-level versions of the Acadia are equipped with a 2.5-liter, inline four-cylinder engine that is attached to a six-speed automatic transmission. It will create up to 193 horsepower and 188 pound-feet of torque. For maximum available performance, upper trim grades of the GMC crossover SUV are outfitted with a 3.6-liter, V-6 engine and its own version of the six-speed automatic transmission. This powertrain pushes the peak output to 310 horsepower and 271 pound-feet of torque. Not only does the 2019 CR-V not feature a V-6 option, but none of its four-cylinder options can match the performance of the GMC Acadia.
