Key Features of the 2027 GMC Acadia

2.5L Turbo Engine and 8-Speed Automatic Transmission

The 2027 GMC Acadia uses a 2.5L Turbo engine that produces 328 hp and 326 lb.-ft. of torque, giving this mid-size SUV the responsive character many drivers want from a three-row vehicle. Paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission, the powertrain is designed to deliver smooth acceleration and confident passing power without making the Acadia feel oversized or difficult to manage. GMC also equips the Acadia with a Traction Select System that allows the driver to switch between available drive modes tailored to different conditions and driving needs. Depending on configuration, modes can include Normal, Sport, Snow/Ice, Off-Road, AWD and Tow/Haul*. AT4 models add an AT4-exclusive Terrain Mode, supporting more control when driving over uneven surfaces. This capability is especially useful for Ohio drivers who move between city streets, two-lane rural roads, gravel lanes and weekend destinations. Add in up to 5,000 lbs. of max trailering* with the standard Trailering Package, and the Acadia becomes a strong choice for shoppers who want everyday comfort with useful towing strength.

15" Diagonal Premium GMC Infotainment System*

The 15" diagonal Premium GMC Infotainment System* is one of the Acadia’s most important cabin highlights. The large color touchscreen creates a modern command center that helps reduce clutter while keeping key functions easy to see and use. GMC notes that Google built-in* and Google Gemini* help drivers stay connected to the world, and the display’s vertical layout gives navigation, media, vehicle settings and connected services a clean presentation. The Acadia also includes an 11" diagonal Driver Information Center, placing important vehicle information directly in front of the driver. Depending on trim, shoppers can look for features such as wireless charging*, OnStar® and premium audio from Bose* systems. Elevation and AT4 offer a Bose* Premium 12-speaker audio system, Denali includes a 12-speaker Bose* Premium sound system with subwoofer, and Denali Ultimate upgrades to a Bose* 16-Speaker Performance Series sound system. For drivers who rely on navigation, playlists, calls and vehicle information throughout the day, this technology-rich cabin can make the Acadia feel organized and easy to live with.

Available Super Cruise® Hands-Free Driver Assistance Technology*

Available Super Cruise®* hands-free driver assistance technology is a major reason to consider the 2027 GMC Acadia. GMC describes Super Cruise®* as hands-free driver assistance technology that can be used on over 600,000 miles of compatible roads. It is standard on Denali Ultimate with a 3-year OnStar® One plan* and available on select configurations. For highway-focused shoppers, this system can reduce fatigue during longer drives by allowing hands-free operation when conditions and compatible roads permit. The driver still needs to remain attentive, but the added convenience can make a meaningful difference on regular commutes, business travel or family trips. In the Acadia lineup, this advanced technology pairs well with other driver-focused tools such as an available Head-Up Display, camera views and the 11" diagonal Driver Information Center. Rather than feeling like a single standalone upgrade, Super Cruise®* fits into a broader technology package that helps the Acadia feel sophisticated, current and confidence-inspiring.

Over 19 Safety and Driver Assistance Technologies*

Safety and driver assistance are central to the Acadia’s appeal, with over 19 safety and driver assistance technologies* available or standard depending on model. Key systems include Enhanced Automatic Emergency Braking, Front Pedestrian & Bicyclist Braking, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, Blind Zone Steering Assist, Adaptive Cruise Control and Forward Collision Alert. Enhanced Automatic Emergency Braking works with Forward Collision Alert to help avoid or reduce the severity of a collision with a detected vehicle ahead, including at highway speeds. Front Pedestrian & Bicyclist Braking can help at speeds between 5 and 50 mph when a pedestrian or bicycle is detected directly ahead, although nighttime and low visibility performance is limited. Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning can provide a brief steering wheel turn if unintentional lane drift is detected, while Blind Zone Steering Assist can provide steering input when a potential collision is detected with a moving vehicle in the lane being entered. These systems are not a substitute for attentive driving, but together, each feature adds another layer of support.

97.5 Cu. Ft. Max Cargo Volume*

Interior flexibility is one of the most compelling Acadia advantages. GMC lists 97.5 cu. ft.* of max cargo volume behind the first row, 57.30 cu. ft.* behind the second row and 23.00 cu. ft.* behind the third row. That range of configurations helps the Acadia handle everyday grocery runs, sports gear, school bags, luggage, home improvement supplies and longer-trip cargo without forcing constant compromises. Seating for up to eight also gives households more flexibility when extra passengers come along. Denali models add third-row power-folding seats and second-row one-touch folding seats, making cargo transitions easier. The AutoSense Power Liftgate is another useful touch because it can open hands-free when the key fob is in a pocket or bag and the driver approaches the rear of the SUV. Cabin materials also vary by trim, from After Dark cloth or available CoreTec® seating material in Elevation to the AT4-exclusive Forest Storm interior with Mahogany accents, leather-appointed Denali seating and Woodland Mahogany full-leather massaging front seats in Denali Ultimate.
