The 2025 GMC Acadia delivers impressive power and capability across every trim.

**Engine:** All 2025 Acadia trims are powered by a standard 2.5L turbocharged engine producing 328 horsepower and 326 lb-ft of torque. This turbocharged engine provides confident acceleration whether you're merging on the highway or navigating city streets.

**Towing:** The Acadia can tow up to 5,000 pounds, making it perfect for trailers, boats, or recreational equipment for weekend adventures. The standard Trailering Package (new for 2025) ensures you have the right equipment for safe, confident towing.

**Handling & Control:** Standard Active Torque Control AWD helps you manage power delivery across all four wheels, giving you excellent traction in various road conditions.

**Off-Road Ready:** The available AT4 trim takes capability further with an off-road-tuned suspension, all-terrain tires, and a lifted ride height for serious trail potential.

Whether you're cruising city streets or heading into the wilderness, the Acadia's performance won't disappoint. Call Markquart Motors at (715) 833-0444 to schedule your test drive today.
