PERFORMANCE

GMC Acadia

The road ahead can have all kinds of twists and turns. Rain-slicked pavement, bumpy dirt paths, and long straight stretches of road all require different capabilities. That's where the GMC Acadia stands out—it’s built to take on anything that lies ahead.

Potent Power

GMC engineers worked hard to master their craft. This is evident when you peek under the hood of the GMC Acadia and study its powerful 2.5L turbocharged engine. This powertrain leaves such a lasting impression that no upgrades are needed for more potency. Standard across all trim levels, this 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.

Torque326 lb-ft
Transmission8-speed automatic
Max Towing Capacity5,000 lbs.

With toughness built into the Acadia, you can go nearly anywhere. With an EPA-estimated 20 city/27 highway MPG rating and a heavy-duty cooling system, your Acadia is ready to traverse expanses of road in challenging conditions or with a trailer full of equipment or gear without breaking a sweat.

Robust Capability

Life doesn’t always move in a linear pattern. The GMC Acadia gives you the tools needed to conquer uneven or tricky terrain. Available all-wheel drive directs power between the front and rear axles to deliver equal power to keep the wheels spinning.

For even more power and control, the Traction Select System adds up to six selectable modes to your SUV. When selected, each mode adjusts benchmarks to deliver optimal performance on all road conditions. Standard and available modes include:

  • Sport
  • Off-Road
  • Tow/Hual
  • Terrain (AT4-exclusive)

An available Active Torque Control AWD system means a more dynamic drive when traveling off the beaten path. This intelligent system can redirect torque to the rear wheel that needs a boost. With these off-road-tuned features, you can take winding backroads with total confidence and experience all the great outdoors has in store.

INNOVATION

GMC Acadia

Part of what makes modern driving more rewarding is the inclusion of state-of-the-art features. The GMC Acadia has plenty of brainpower to go with its brawn. These systems cover everything from providing streamlined operation to offering more peace of mind out on the road. The result? An enhanced driving experience you’ll look forward to.

Stay Connected Everywhere

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:

  • 15-inch touchscreen display for viewing ease.
  • Wireless Apple CarPlayâ„¢/Android Autoâ„¢ for seamless smartphone integration.
  • Google built-in for voice assist and navigation convenience.

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.

Total Visibility Comes Standard

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:

  • Forward Collision Alert
  • Blind Zone Steering Assist
  • Enhanced Automatic Emergency Braking
  • Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning

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.

EXPERIENCE

GMC Acadia

With so much time spent behind the wheel, your GMC Acadia will likely feel like a home away from home. That’s why the cabin of the Acadia adds ample comfort and convenience features that you’ll look forward to experiencing. Between its standard and available amenities, the Acadia feels less like a simple SUV and more like a personal oasis from the outside world.

No Detail Is Too Small

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:

  • Heated and ventilated front seats
  • Perforated leather-trimmed upholstery
  • 4-way power lumbar support
  • Panoramic power sunroof

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.

Look, Ma, No Hands

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:

  • Adjust speed to accommodate speed limits and keep up with the flow of traffic.
  • Perform automatic lane changes to pass slower vehicles safely.
  • Use Google built-in to find the most optimal lanes for your route, when equipped.

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.*
