The 2025 GMC Acadia is powered by a 2.5L turbocharged engine that delivers 328 horsepower and 326 lb-ft of torque. That gives it strong, confident acceleration and up to 5,000 pounds of towing capacity-perfect for weekend adventures or hauling gear.

The turbocharged engine is standard across all Acadia trims, and it pairs with an advanced all-wheel-drive system and trailering package to handle both highway driving and tougher conditions. If you're comparing it to other midsize SUVs, the Acadia's power output edges out competitors in its class.
