No two days are the same. Luckily, the GMC Acadia is a highly versatile SUV that constantly adapts to your changing needs. Let’s explore!
The GMC Acadia is the perfect everyday cruiser SUV. Its mindful dimensions make it perfect for conquering busy parking lots, and its ample passenger space means there's no fighting in the back seat between your little ones. Thanks to its three rows of seats, you'll even find the Acadia offers more than enough space for whole-family outings.

Thanks to features like the optional 1-Touch flat folding and Smart Slide second-row seat, which a switch activates, the passenger-cargo space can be configured to fit your needs. This feature adjusts the cabin configuration to accommodate bulky items like new furniture.
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 from the moment you turn the ignition. As it roars to life, you'll be in control of intense strength that will allow you to easily cruise down highways.

When your weekend adventures take you off the beaten path, you can lean on the toughness built into the Acadia. The available Active Torque Control AWD system delivers a fine-tuned response for off-roading adventures. When enabled, this feature sends power to each wheel as needed to provide traction for whatever the great outdoors has in store.
Part of what makes modern driving more rewarding is the inclusion of state-of-the-art features. The Acadia has plenty of brainpower to go with its strength, including a streamlined operation to offer more peace of mind out on the road.
Solo trips and adventures with your loved ones are more enjoyable when your favorite songs serve as the background track. The GMC Premium Infotainment System makes it easy to stay connected and entertained. This technological suite includes features like:
- 15-inch touchscreen display
- Google built-in
- Wireless Apple CarPlay®/Android Auto™
- Natural voice recognition
You can prioritize safe driving habits while staying entertained thanks to the integration of Google Assistant, which can respond to voice commands to find a new coffee shop, change songs, and get alternate routes to avoid rush-hour traffic.
Using a variety of sensors, the GMC Acadia always keeps a watchful eye, acting as the ultimate safety co-pilot. Its massive suite of driver-assistive technologies helps keep you alert and aware of what's happening. It incorporates nine available camera views to provide total vehicle coverage, but it also comes standard with these features:
- Forward Collision Alert
- Blind Zone Steering Assist
- Front Pedestrian and Bicyclist Braking
- Intersection Automatic Emergency Braking
- And many more
With many advanced features enhancing your safe driving habits, you can feel confident whenever you take the wheel.
The road ahead can have all kinds of twists and turns. Rain-slicked pavement, bumpy dirt paths, and even long straight stretches of road all call for different capabilities. That’s where the GMC Acadia stands out—it’s built to take on anything that lies ahead.
The GMC Acadia was designed to remain by your side for the long haul. While it offers many features that assist with the present, it also considers the future, ensuring your Acadia will be by your side for infinite memory-making commutes. Check out some of these features:
- All-wheel drive: This available traction-boosting drivetrain sends power to all four wheels, allowing for greater control on tight turns and slippery surfaces.
- Teen Driver: This feature helps instill positive driving habits in your young driver, encouraging safe driving habits and delivering an in-vehicle report card for progress monitoring.
- 3-year/60K-mile Bumper-to-Bumper Limited Warranty: This comprehensive warranty coverage helps provide peace of mind while you get out and explore, assisting with routine maintenance.
An 8-inch Head-Up Display feature is optional with the GMC Acadia to ensure essential driving data is always within your eyesight, providing the ultimate reliability of your SUV.
The future of driving is smarter and makes life on the road easier. The GMC Acadia allows you to step into the future today with the available Super Cruise™ Hands-Free Driver Assist system. When the open road sprawls before you, sit back and let the Acadia handle it.
Over 200,000 miles of compatible highways have been added. When traveling on these roadways, your GMC Acadia can take over vehicle controls by adjusting speed and steering for a more leisurely ride. It even includes trailering assist and automatic lane-changing to make trips to your favorite camping location easier.
While keeping your eyes on the road, Super Cruise™ Driver-Assist Technology can help reduce driving fatigue, so you always arrive feeling refreshed, no matter how many miles you travel.
Regarding advanced features, the GMC Acadia and the Chevrolet Traverse truly shine. These SUVs offer dynamic infotainment, increased visibility, and a "go anywhere" mentality that will satisfy your adventurous side. If you've always wanted a state-of-the-art experience in an SUV, either of these models will get the job done.
