The redesigned 2024 GMC Acadia is larger in nearly every dimension, offering expanded cabin space and more cargo room for added comfort and convenience. Under the hood, GMC replaced the 3.6-liter V6 with a 2.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine, which often feels underpowered. The new Acadia also comes equipped with an extensive suite of standard active safety and driver assistance features, with GM’s Super Cruise available for hands-free driving.

Consumer Video: 2025 Toyota Crown Signia | Talking Cars with Consumer Reports #468
Toyota is expanding its SUV portfolio by transforming the Crown sedan into a bold new model, the Crown Signia. In this episode, we dive into our first impressions of this reimagined vehicle, exploring its ride quality, hybrid powertrain, design, and functional shape. We also discuss how the Signia differentiates itself from the original Crown. Plus, we tackle audience questions, including: why EV batteries tend to drain faster in the winter than in the summer, and if you're only able to replace two tires on your car, which ones should you choose—front or rear?

Scammers create fake profiles on social media. They claim they’re military servicemembers to get your trust, but what they want is your money. But if that love interest says they can’t meet you in person, asks you for money, or you find their picture in several profiles – you know it’s a scammer. Don’t send money. Instead, cut off contact. Tell the social media platform, dating website, or app right away. Then tell the FTC at ReportFraud.ftc.gov.
