If you’re looking for the right midsize SUV to safely transport your family on every commute and adventure, the 2025 GMC Acadia has the space, capability, and comfort to meet your needs. Compare its three trim levels to see which one has your ideal set of features.

1. Elevation

Starting with the base Elevation trim, every 2025 Acadia is powered by the same 2.5-liter turbocharged engine with an output of 328 horsepower and 326 pound-feet of torque. The engine pairs with a smooth eight-speed automatic transmission and standard front-wheel drive or optional all-wheel drive. Eight-passenger seating is standard across three generous rows, which is one of many reasons it’s an ideal family vehicle, and the front seats include heat settings.

There’s also a standard power liftgate for easy, hands-free loading and unloading of the 23 cubic foot cargo area, which offers 57.3 cubes of volume with the third row folded and 97.5 cubic feet behind the first row. Active noise cancellation helps create a calm environment, while the standard Assisted Driving package helps keep you and your crew safer with features like enhanced automatic emergency braking, lane keep assist, and side bicyclist alert.

2. AT4

The AT4 trim is designed for more rugged adventures and is exclusively offered with an active torque control all-wheel drive system to help you maintain control in multi-terrain environments. It also comes standard with hill descent control, a performance suspension, and an elevated ride height, which gives it 7.75 inches of minimum ground clearance compared to the 6.77-inch clearance of the Elevation. Other exclusive features include 18-inch dark machined aluminum wheels, all-terrain tires, and dark exterior accents.

Acoustic laminated glass in the windshield and front-side windows helps keep the interior even quieter, and a set of flat-folding captain’s chairs with Smart Slide replaces the second-row bench seat, reducing the seating capacity to seven.

3. Denali

Like the Elevation, the range-topping Denali trim can be had with front- or all-wheel drive. It’s the most luxurious model in the lineup, featuring heated and ventilated front seats, plus a standard Luxury package that adds heated rear outboard seats, a heated wiper park, and an 8.0-inch head-up display. A memory system for the driver saves your seat and outside mirror settings, while a power tilt and telescoping steering wheel lets you adjust the height for increased comfort.

The third row gains a power-folding bench to replace the manual 60/40-split bench, and perforated leather-appointed seat trim adds to the luxurious feel.

No matter which trim level you choose, the 2025 Acadia is a top choice among family-friendly SUVs. Come see it for yourself at Kyle Edwards GMC in Muskogee, OK to test drive your favorite model!
