GMC gets more fuel efficiency out of its newest SUV with glue

GMC is using an unusual method to make its latest SUV more fuel efficient: using adhesive. The car manufacturer makes use of aircraft-grade adhesives for the 2017 GMC Acadia. What this has done is reduce the use of rivets and welds and helped in the creation of a body so stiff, it made it possible to use thinner steel. The SUV drops over 700 pounds from its predecessor of while giving 23 miles per gallon with this change. The 2016 model only got 18 miles per gallon.

The change is essential because the US government wants its automakers to reach an average fleet goal of 54.5MPG by the year 2025. This means fuel economy has to happen across many models as possible—even gas-guzzling SUVs.

The 2016 GMC Canyon, Yukon, and Sierra models will be getting an 8-inch IntelliLink infotainment system that has Apple CarPlay. The base model Sierra is unique in the sense that it gets a smaller 7-inch version of IntelliLink. The first three models will get Android Auto at a later date, while the entry-level Sierra will launch in 2016 with both CarPlay and Android Auto support. For Buick, the 2016 Buick Regal and LaCrosse models will be betting an 8-inch IntelliLink system as well. CarPlay will also be arriving first before Android Auto.

CarPlay on both brands will have a similar implementation. The software will give full-screen access to navigation, audio controls, etc. It’ll also let you toggle between Apple’s software, onboard OnStar 4G LTE-connected IntelliLink software, and, eventually, Google’s Android Auto.
