The 2026 GMC Acadia is built for both everyday driving and adventure. Its standard 2.5-liter turbocharged engine delivers 328 horsepower, and when equipped with the Trailering Package, the Acadia can tow up to 5,000 pounds. The standard Traction Select System offers up to six drive modes to handle different conditions. For serious off-roading, the AT4 trim includes an Active Torque Control AWD system and off-road-tuned suspension with lifted ride height-perfect for rougher terrain. Hill Start Assist and available Adaptive Cruise Control enhance capability and control. Markquart Motors has multiple Acadia trims in stock.
