GMC Acadia 2023 Interior Mirrors and Windows and Roof 

The windows and mirrors within the 2023 GMC Acadia have been carefully planned to offer ease and safety. In addition to a manual day/night adjustment feature, the Acadia usually has an auto-dimming rearview mirror to lessen glare during nighttime driving. Visibility and versatility are improved by power-adjustable and heated side mirrors, as well as available power-folding and turn signal indicators. The driver and front passenger have easy control over their windows with one-touch power windows that come with optional express-down and auto-up functions. The back passengers can operate the windows on their own. Convenience and child safety are enhanced by window lockout controls and privacy shades. The Acadia is a well-rounded car for both long-distance travel and daily commuting because it frequently has cutting-edge technologies like rain-sensing wipers and window defrosting/defogging to ensure optimal sight in a variety of weather conditions.
