Key Features of the 2027 GMC Acadia

2.5L Turbo Engine

The 2027 GMC Acadia uses a 2.5L Turbo engine paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission, a combination engineered to provide a strong and responsive driving experience. With 328 hp and 326 lb.-ft. of torque, the Acadia has the power shoppers expect from a confident three-row SUV. This matters when merging onto I-94, passing slower traffic, carrying passengers, or loading the cabin with luggage and gear. The engine is also matched with a Trailering Package that supports up to 5,000 lbs. of max trailering, giving owners the flexibility to tow items such as a small camper, utility trailer, boat, or recreation equipment when properly equipped. The Traction Select System adds another level of adaptability, allowing the driver to choose from up to six available distinct drive modes, including Normal, Sport, Snow/Ice, Off-Road, AWD on AWD models, and Tow/Haul. AT4 models add AT4-exclusive Terrain Mode, supporting greater confidence away from pavement.

15" Diagonal Premium GMC Infotainment System

The 15" diagonal Premium GMC Infotainment System is one of the most important cabin highlights in the 2027 GMC Acadia. Its large vertical color touchscreen creates a modern command center for navigation, entertainment, vehicle settings, and connectivity. GMC notes that Google built-in and Google Gemini help drivers stay connected to their world, creating a more intuitive experience for maps, voice assistance, and supported apps. The system is paired with an 11" diagonal Driver Information Center, giving the driver a clear view of important vehicle information without making the cabin feel cluttered. Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ support is also an important shopping consideration for drivers who rely on smartphone integration for calls, playlists, messages, and route guidance. Add in the available Bose Premium 12-speaker audio system, or the Bose 16-Speaker Performance Series sound system on Denali Ultimate, and the Acadia turns everyday driving into a more engaging, connected, and enjoyable experience.

Available Super Cruise® Hands-Free Driver Assistance Technology

Available Super Cruise® hands-free driver assistance technology is a major reason the Acadia feels advanced among three-row SUVs. GMC describes Super Cruise® as offering the freedom of going hands-free on over 600,000 miles of compatible roads. On Denali Ultimate, Super Cruise® is standard with a 3-year OnStar® One plan, while other trims may offer it depending on configuration. For drivers who spend time on major highways around West Michigan, this technology can help reduce fatigue when used properly and under compatible conditions. Super Cruise® is not a replacement for attentive driving, but it is a meaningful innovation for shoppers who value long-distance comfort and modern driver assistance. When combined with the Acadia’s available Head-Up Display, large infotainment screen, Driver Information Center, and camera technology, the cabin feels built around awareness and control. It is a feature that online shoppers should experience during a test drive because the smooth integration of steering, information, and driver monitoring is difficult to appreciate from specs alone.

Over 19 Safety and Driver Assistance Technologies

Safety is one of the strongest parts of the 2027 GMC Acadia story. GMC highlights over 19 safety and driver assistance technologies, giving drivers added confidence in daily traffic, parking lots, changing lanes, and highway travel. 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 bicyclist is detected directly ahead, though performance may be limited at night or in low visibility. Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning can provide a brief steering wheel turn if an unintentional lane drift is detected. Blind Zone Steering Assist can provide a brief, firm steering input when a potential collision is detected with a moving vehicle in the lane you are entering. Adaptive Cruise Control can automatically follow a detected vehicle ahead at a selected gap. These systems support, but never replace, responsible driving.

Generous Cargo Room

The 2027 GMC Acadia is built for people who need space that adapts quickly. With three rows of versatile seating and up to 97.5 cu. ft. of max cargo volume behind the first row, it can move from passenger duty to cargo duty with ease. Behind the second row, GMC lists 57.30 cu. ft. of cargo volume, and behind the third row, the Acadia still offers 23.00 cu. ft. for everyday items. That makes the Acadia practical for grocery runs, sports gear, luggage, school projects, folding chairs, tools, and pet supplies. Denali models add third-row power-folding seats and second-row one-touch folding seats, making it easier to reconfigure the interior. The AutoSense Power Liftgate adds hands-free convenience by opening when you walk up to the rear of the SUV with the key fob in your pocket or bag. For many shoppers, this blend of seating capacity and usable cargo room is what makes the Acadia a true family-ready SUV.
