The 2026 GMC Acadia is a midsize SUV built for families and adventurers. It seats up to eight passengers across three rows, with a spacious 97.5 cubic feet of cargo volume. Under the hood is a standard 2.5-liter turbocharged engine with 328 horsepower and 326 lb-ft of torque, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission.

When properly equipped, the Acadia can tow up to 5,000 pounds-great for trailers, boats, or weekend gear. Its longer wheelbase and wider stance give it commanding presence on the road, while refined interior materials and features like one-touch folding second-row seats add everyday practicality. The Acadia blends comfort, capability, and confidence whether you're navigating city streets or exploring trails.
