The 2025 GMC Acadia delivers more power, technology, and versatility than the Toyota Highlander. Here's why:

**Engine & Performance:** The Acadia's 2.5L turbo produces 328 hp and 326 lb-ft of torque, compared to the Highlander's 2.4L turbo with 265 hp. The Acadia also offers 5,000 lbs. of towing capacity.

**Technology:** The Acadia features a larger 15" infotainment screen and 11" driver display versus the Highlander's 12.3" screen and 7" cluster. You also get a premium Bose 16-speaker audio system and available Super Cruise hands-free driving-features the Highlander doesn't match.

**Seating:** Both offer 7-passenger capacity, but the Acadia goes up to 8 passengers and features available premium leather seating with heating and ventilation.
