Key Features of the 2027 GMC Acadia

2.5L Turbo Engine

The Acadia’s standard 2.5L Turbo engine is one of the biggest reasons this SUV feels so well matched to both everyday driving and longer-distance travel. Paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission, the engine delivers 328 hp and 326 lb.-ft. of torque, giving the Acadia confident acceleration when entering highways, climbing grades, or carrying a full cabin. That torque figure is especially useful because it helps the SUV feel responsive without requiring heavy throttle input. The powertrain also supports the Acadia’s trailering capability, allowing properly equipped models to tow up to 5,000 lbs. with the Trailering Package. The Traction Select System adds another layer of confidence by letting you tailor the drive to different conditions through modes such as Normal, Sport, Snow/Ice, Off-Road, AWD on AWD models, and Tow/Haul. AT4 models go further with an AT4-exclusive Terrain Mode, an Active Torque Control AWD system, off-road tuned suspension, lifted ride height, and all-terrain tires. For drivers who want a mid-size SUV that feels composed in town and capable beyond pavement, this turbocharged setup is a major advantage.

Three Rows and 97.5 Cu. Ft. Max Cargo Volume

Interior flexibility is a defining strength of the Acadia. With three rows of seating and room for up to 8 passengers, it gives families and group travelers the freedom to bring more people along without automatically stepping into a larger SUV. Cargo space is equally impressive, with 23.00 cu. ft. behind the third row, 57.30 cu. ft. behind the second row, and up to 97.5 cu. ft. of max cargo volume behind the first row. That range matters because most drivers do not use cargo space in only one way. Some days may call for every seat in place. Other days may require folded seats for sports bags, home project supplies, luggage, or outdoor equipment. Denali models add third-row power-folding seats and second-row one-touch folding seats, making it easier to reconfigure the cabin quickly. The AutoSense Power Liftgate is another everyday convenience, allowing hands-free liftgate access when you walk up to the rear of the SUV with the key fob in a pocket or bag. The result is an interior that works hard while still feeling polished and comfortable.

15" Diagonal Premium GMC Infotainment System

The 15" diagonal Premium GMC Infotainment System gives the Acadia a modern command center that is easy to see, easy to use, and central to the cabin experience. The large color touchscreen helps reduce menu hunting by presenting key information with clarity, while Google built-in and Google Gemini help keep you connected to navigation, communication, and compatible apps. This system is especially helpful for drivers who move between local roads, highways, errands, and family obligations because it places route guidance and vehicle information in a convenient location. The Acadia also offers an 11" diagonal Driver Information Center, which puts important driving details directly ahead of the driver. Depending on trim, shoppers can also find wireless charging, Bose* Premium audio systems, and enhanced camera technologies. Elevation and AT4 models include a Bose* Premium 12-speaker audio system, while Denali Ultimate adds a Bose* 16-Speaker Performance Series sound system. Together, these technologies make the cabin feel smarter, more refined, and better suited for passengers who expect modern connectivity on every drive.

Available Super Cruise®

Available Super Cruise® hands-free driver assistance technology is one of the Acadia’s most forward-thinking features. Designed for use on over 600,000 miles of compatible roads, Super Cruise® can help reduce driver workload during eligible highway travel while the driver remains attentive and ready to take control. It is available on select Acadia models and standard on Denali Ultimate with a 3-year OnStar® One plan. This technology can be especially appealing for shoppers who regularly spend time on longer routes, where comfort and reduced fatigue matter. The Acadia also supports confident maneuvering through available camera views, including up to 10 available camera views on select models. Camera technology can make parking, lining up near curbs, checking surroundings, and managing tighter spaces feel more natural. Denali models include 10 camera views, while Elevation and AT4 content references HD Surround Vision* and 9 camera views. Combined with the Head-Up Display available or standard by trim, the Acadia gives drivers more information without forcing attention away from the road.

Over 19 Safety and Driver Assistance Technologies

GMC equips the Acadia with over 19 safety and driver assistance technologies, providing added confidence for busy households and daily commuters. Enhanced Automatic Emergency Braking works with Forward Collision Alert to help you avoid or reduce the severity of a collision with a detected vehicle you are following, including at highway speeds. Front Pedestrian & Bicyclist Braking can help between 5 and 50 mph when a pedestrian or bicycle is detected directly ahead, though performance may be limited at night or in low visibility. Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning can use a brief steering wheel turn to help prevent unintentional lane drift, while Blind Zone Steering Assist can provide a brief, firm steering wheel turn when a potential collision is detected with a moving vehicle in the lane you are entering. Adaptive Cruise Control allows you to set a speed and follow a detected vehicle ahead at a driver-selected gap. These technologies do not replace attentive driving, but when used properly, the Acadia’s safety systems add meaningful support.
