- Every 2027 Acadia features a turbocharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder.
- The three-row SUV seats up to eight.
- Super Cruise is standard on the Denali and available on the AT4 through the new Reserve package.
The 2027 GMC Acadia follows up on its recent redesign with a few targeted updates rather than another overhaul. It still offers three-row seating, plenty of standard tech, and an AT4 model for drivers who want extra capability off pavement. Let's get into its many features below.
The Acadia gets a few minor updates for '27. GMC adds Ink and Trailstone Green Metallic to the exterior color palette, along with two new wheel designs to the currently available choices.
An interior camera is now standard across the board, and the Denali gains Super Cruise as standard equipment. The AT4 can be equipped with a new Reserve package that bundles Super Cruise with a 16-speaker Bose audio system, all-weather floor mats, and mud flaps.
As of August '26, the GMC Acadia starts at $45,595, with prices reaching $65,395 depending on the trim and equipment you choose, according to Car and Driver.
A turbocharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder is standard and produces 328 horsepower and 326 lb-ft. As the only engine, it pairs with an eight-speed automatic. Front-wheel drive comes standard on most versions, with all-wheel drive available. The AT4 gets AWD only, along with additional hardware designed for driving beyond paved roads.
The AT4 uses GMC's Active Torque Control all-wheel-drive system to help manage traction over changing surfaces. It also provides additional ground clearance, protective skid plates, and a suspension specifically created for rougher terrain.
Terrain mode gives the driver another tool when leaving the pavement, while hill descent control helps manage speed on steep downhill sections. The AT4's new Reserve package adds comfort and tech features without changing its off-road-focused hardware.
The Acadia has a maximum towing capacity of 5,000 pounds. GMC also includes a Trailering package as standard equipment, so buyers don't have to add a separate package to get the basic towing hardware.
That package includes a Class III hitch, heavy-duty cooling, a seven-pin wiring harness, and a hitch view integrated into the vehicle's camera system to make lining up with a trailer easier.
Front-wheel-drive versions return 20 mpg in the city, 26 mpg on the highway, and 22 mpg combined. All-wheel drive keeps the city figure at 20 mpg, while the highway rating falls to 23 mpg and combined fuel economy comes in at 21 mpg.
The Acadia seats up to eight people with bench seats in the second and third rows. Second-row captain's chairs are available for buyers who prefer easier access to the back, and GMC's Smart Slide system also helps passengers get into the third row easily.
The third row has a 60/40-split seatback that folds nearly flat when you need more room for cargo. With all three rows upright, the Acadia provides 23 cubic feet of storage space behind the third row.
A vertically oriented 15-inch infotainment touchscreen dominates the center of the dash with an 11-inch digital instrument display close by. The infotainment system uses Google built-in software with voice controls, and wireless phone charging comes standard.
There are two USB ports in each row, two 12-volt outlets, and a 110-volt household-style outlet in the center console. A head-up display is available.
The Acadia covers a lot of ground, whether you need three rows for passengers, extra towing capability, or features for occasional trips off the pavement. Stop by Reliable Buick GMC to compare the 2027 Acadia trims and take one for a test drive!
