2025 GMC Acadia

The 2025 GMC Acadia is available in three trims: the Elevation, AT4, and Denali. The base Elevation sets a strong foundation with 18-inch silver wheels, black roof rails, and bodyside moldings. It also features LED projector headlamps and GMC's signature animated lighting. The AT4 takes a more rugged approach with its lifted ride height, wider track, and improved front fascia clearance. Underbody skid plates and red tow hooks highlight its off-road capability, while 18-inch dark machined wheels with all-terrain tires provide confident traction. For a luxurious experience, the Denali comes with a signature chrome grille design, 20-inch bright machined wheels, chrome door handle trim, and body-color fender flares. Brushed aluminum roof rails complete its premium exterior presence.

A 2.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine generates 328 horsepower and 326 pound-feet of torque across all trims. This capable powerplant pairs with an eight-speed automatic transmission for smooth power delivery. Front-wheel drive comes standard on Elevation and Denali models, while an advanced all-wheel-drive system remains optional. The AT4 exclusively features a standard Active Torque Control AWD system with twin-clutch rear differentials, providing superior traction control in challenging conditions.

You can choose from up to seven drive modes to adapt the Acadia's performance to different conditions. The AT4 trim particularly shines with its off-road suspension featuring hydraulic rebound control, allowing for improved stability and control on rough terrain. When properly equipped, all trims can tow up to 5,000 pounds. FWD models weigh 4,501 pounds, while AWD versions tip the scales at 4,695 pounds, providing a stable platform for city driving and highway cruising.

The Elevation offers room for up to eight passengers with its second-row bench seat, while AT4 and Denali models feature standard second-row captain's chairs for seven-passenger seating. There's an impressive 23 cubic feet of cargo space behind the third row, expanding to 57.3 cubic feet with the third row folded and a maximum of 97.5 cubic feet with both rear rows down. These versatile seating configurations accommodate different passenger and cargo needs. An 11-inch digital driver information center complements the 15-inch portrait-style touchscreen infotainment display. The Denali trim adds luxurious touches with perforated leather upholstery, laser-etched wood decor, and a 16-speaker Bose premium sound system.

A comprehensive suite of driver-assistance technologies comes standard on every 2025 Acadia. This includes automatic emergency braking with cyclist detection to help prevent forward collisions and adaptive cruise control with lane centering to reduce driver fatigue on long trips. Blind-spot detection includes rear cross-traffic and pedestrian detection capabilities, working alongside an HD surround-view camera system for improved visibility. Reverse automatic braking and traffic sign recognition add extra layers of protection. Super Cruise, GMC's hands-free driving technology with driver attention detection, remains available across all trim levels.
