2026 GMC Acadia

At the heart of the 2026 Acadia is a 2.5-liter turbocharged engine delivering 328 horsepower and 326 pound-feet of torque, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission. That combination gives the Acadia a confident, responsive feel on a wide range of road conditions. For drivers who need even more from their mid-size SUV, the available Traction Select System offers up to six distinct drive modes - including an AT4-exclusive Terrain Mode - to tailor performance to whatever lies ahead. With a max towing capacity of 5,000 pounds when properly equipped, the Acadia handles weekend hauling with ease.

Step inside the 2026 Acadia and you'll find a cabin designed to accommodate both passengers and gear without compromise. Seating for up to eight makes it a natural fit for families, while max cargo volume reaches an impressive 97.5 cubic feet behind the first row with rear seats folded. The interior experience evolves across trims - from the After Dark cloth seats in the Elevation to the Woodland Mahogany full-leather massaging front seats with plaited contrast stitching in the Denali Ultimate. Standard heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, and heated power outside mirrors add comfort across the entire lineup. An available panoramic sunroof on the Denali Ultimate lets passengers take in the scenery on every ride.

The 2026 Acadia puts an impressive suite of tech at your fingertips. A 15-inch diagonal Premium GMC Infotainment System with Google built-in compatibility serves as the centerpiece, offering voice-activated controls and support for both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The 11-inch diagonal Driver Information Center is standard across all trims, while an available 8-inch diagonal configurable Head-Up Display projects key information directly onto the windshield - standard on Denali and Denali Ultimate. Nine available camera views, including HD Surround Vision and the Rear Camera Mirror, make maneuvering tight spaces more manageable. Available Super Cruise hands-free driver assistance technology brings an even greater level of confidence to compatible roads, and comes standard with a 3-year OnStar plan on the Denali Ultimate trim.

GMC has packed the 2026 Acadia with over 19 standard safety and driver assistance features, making it one of the most safety-conscious options in the mid-size SUV segment. Every trim - Elevation, AT4, Denali, and Denali Ultimate - includes Enhanced Automatic Emergency Braking, Blind Zone Steering Assist, Forward Collision Alert, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, Adaptive Cruise Control, Rear Cross Traffic Braking, and Rear Pedestrian Alert, among others. The standard Buckle to Drive and Teen Driver features add an extra layer of reassurance for families sharing the vehicle with younger drivers.

The 2026 GMC Acadia is available in four well-defined trim levels.

• The Elevation serves as the entry point, offering a strong balance of features and value, including the Bose Premium 12-speaker audio system and the full suite of standard safety technologies.
• The AT4 steps up with off-road-ready credentials, featuring an Active Torque Control AWD system, an off-road-tuned suspension, 18-inch dark machined aluminum wheels with all-terrain tires, and a lifted ride height.
• The Denali elevates the experience with a premium leather-appointed interior, 20-inch machined aluminum wheels with Pearl Nickel finish, and a unique Denali grille with Galvano Silver accents.
• At the top of the lineup, the Denali Ultimate adds massaging front seats, a Bose 16-speaker Performance Series sound system, a panoramic sunroof, Vader Chrome grille and GMC emblems, and standard Super Cruise technology.

The 2026 GMC Acadia brings together three rows of seating, serious performance, advanced technology, and comprehensive safety features in a package that's ready for whatever comes next. With four distinct trims to choose from, there's an Acadia configuration to match nearly every lifestyle and preference.
