There’s a lot to love about the GMC Acadia, such as 328 horsepower and climate-controlled front seats. What our customers love most about the Acadia is the available Super Cruise® Hands-Free Technology that makes highway travel feel effortless.
The GMC Acadia's standout performance starts with a 2.5L turbocharged engine, capable of producing 328 horsepower and 5,000 pounds of towing muscle when properly equipped. Looking for added thrill? The AT4 trim is designed for both everyday drives and unexpected adventures, so you can tackle challenging terrain, slippery roads, and changing conditions without hesitation.
Looking under the hood, you'll see how GMC engineers have worked hard to master their craft. The standard 2.5L turbocharged engine is raring to go when you turn the ignition. As it roars to life, you'll be in control of intense strength as you dominate the road ahead.
| Horsepower | 328 HP |
| Torque | 326 lb-ft |
| Transmission | 8-speed automatic |
| Max Towing Capacity | 5,000 lbs. |
With the toughness built into the Acadia, you can go anywhere. When your Acadia is properly equipped, you can tow a trailer full of equipment and extra gear for an unforgettable camping trip or take off down the freeway for a day of spontaneous adventuring.
When you encounter uneven or tricky terrain, your SUV will need to tackle it with grace and force. Since there’s plenty of fun waiting off the beaten path, an off-road-ready model is a must-have.
The AT4 trim continues the legacy of GMC mechanical design. For the Acadia, this means dynamic drives with the available Active Torque Control AWD system. It sends power to each wheel as needed to provide the traction necessary to take on whatever the great outdoors has in store.
The GMC Acadia equips a state-of-the-art cockpit, adorned with an 11-inch Driver Information Center and 15-inch central touchscreen. Over 19 driver assistance features and available Super Cruise® make modern driving safe and completely comfortable.
In today’s digital age, connective technology is no longer a luxury but a basic necessity. The designers of the GMC Acadia understand this need, which is why the GMC Premium Infotainment System is placed at the forefront of this adventurous SUV. Features of this innovative suite include:
Do you have a long commute ahead of you? A standard wireless phone charger keeps your device fully powered without cluttering the cabin with unnecessary charging cords. Even if you use the built-in Wi-Fi® Hotspot to stream new music, your phone’s battery will stay at 100 percent.
If you agree that every commute is enhanced by your favorite tunes, then you’ll love the integration of the Bose® Performance Audio system. When optionally equipped, this adds 16 strategically placed speakers throughout the cabin to deliver concert-quality audio to every seat.
Using a variety of sensors and computing, the GMC Acadia is always keeping a watchful eye. Its massive suite of driver-assistive technologies helps keep you alert and aware of your surroundings. Along with up to nine available camera views, these standard systems work hard to help keep you safe:
In addition to monitoring, some features can provide mild autonomous support when conditions are met. Take Intersection Automatic Emergency Braking, for example. This standard system can perform hard braking maneuvers when a vehicle is detected approaching from either side.
As a result, you’ll have complete peace of mind every time you get behind the wheel and head out onto the unpredictable roadways.
Yes! The GMC Acadia comes standard with creature comforts like heated front seats and tri-zone automatic climate control. For even more luxury, higher trim levels offer ventilated front seats, a panoramic power sunroof, and more. Amenities such as these make the GMC Acadia a strong choice for drivers who want both sophistication and capability in one vehicle.
All four GMC Acadia trim levels offer first-class comfort amenities. Active Noise Cancellation is included on the base trim and uses advanced technology to outset unwanted engine and road sounds. Additional standard features include heated front seats and tri-zone automatic climate control. With features like these on the base trim, the GMC Acadia edges its way toward luxury status.
If you want more comfort features, consider upgrading to any of the higher trim levels. Starting with the AT4, Denali, or Denali Ultimate, you could gain access to these premium amenities:
For the ultimate driving experience, consider the Luxury Package. When equipped, heated rear seats, heated windshield wipers, and an 8-inch Head Up Display are added to your Acadia.
The future of driving has arrived. The GMC Acadia aims to make life on the road easier and safer, and it’s all thanks to Super Cruise® hands-free driver assistance technology. This available system uses some of the most sophisticated technology to bring hands-free driving to your commute.
Compatible on about 750,000 miles of North American roads, Super Cruise® can perform functions, including:
These features let you be more engaged with cabin conversations while maintaining supervision of your vehicle, even when pulling a trailer. With less hands-on time, you’ll likely arrive at your destination with less driving fatigue.
With these advanced capabilities, some of which are exclusive only to the Super Cruise® system, it’s clear why MotorTrend named Super Cruise® the best hands-free driving technology.**
The GMC Acadia is designed to impress you in every way from the moment you see it. Its dominant engineering and premium features make it a must-see machine as you drive through Macon, Milledgeville, and Warner Robins, GA. You’ll have style and capability in equal measure.
