2019 GMC Acadia and Terrain Sport Black Editions for New York

Paint It Black. Back in Black. Fade to Black. There’s no shortage of songs about the color black, nor is there ever to be a shortage of special “Black Editions” by carmakers. GMC is the latest to join the fray with its 2019 Acadia and Terrain special editions.

Its popular SUVs receive “darkened exterior treatments” so that stylish urban dwellers in big cities like New York can now color coordinate with their wardrobe. What will they think up next?

“The new Terrain and Acadia Black Editions perfectly capture the identity of the GMC brand by offering a bold and confident exterior appearance,” said Duncan Aldred, GMC VP, in a statement.

“They give our customers more choices within the premium SUV segment to distinguish their vehicle and themselves.”

For 2019, the Acadia Black Edition is available on the SLT Package that includes a black grille insert with a black surround for starters. It also receives black headlamp and taillamp details, black mirror caps, black roof rails, and rolls on 20-inch aluminum wheels with hot pink accents—just kidding—it’s black too.

But, if you are not really into all that blackness GMC will paint one in Ebony Twilight Metallic, Summit White, White Frost Tricoat, Dark Sky Metallic, and Smokey Quartz Metallic.

The Terrain Black Edition is available on the SLE and SLT Packages and it receives pretty much the same treatment as the Acadia. That includes a darkened grille with black surround, black mirror caps, black roof rails, black badging, and it rolls on 19-inch gloss black aluminum wheels with black rubber. Other flavors offered include Ebony Twilight Metallic, Summit White, Graphite Gray Metallic, Satin Steel Metallic, and new for 2019—Sedona Metallic. What no Metallica?

If you want one of these black beauties you can’t have one now—you’ll have to wait until the summer when the Terrain and Acadia Black Editions go on sale. Until then you can crank up Black Dog, Black Night, or your favorite Black Sabbath album.
