Key Features of the 2027 GMC Acadia

2.5L Turbo Engine

The 2027 GMC Acadia uses a 2.5L Turbo engine paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission, producing 328 hp and 326 lb.-ft. of torque. Those numbers matter because they give the Acadia the responsive feel many drivers want in a three-row SUV. Whether merging onto the highway, carrying passengers, or climbing grades outside town, the turbocharged engine is designed to provide smooth confidence without feeling strained. GMC also pairs this powertrain with the Traction Select System, allowing the driver to choose from available drive modes such as Normal, Sport, Snow/Ice, Off-Road, AWD on AWD models, and Tow/Haul*. AT4 models add an AT4-exclusive Terrain Mode, which is valuable for drivers who want more control on uneven surfaces. With the standard Trailering Package, the Acadia can tow up to 5,000 lbs., giving it the strength to handle a properly equipped small camper, utility trailer, or recreational equipment. The result is an SUV that feels capable, practical, and ready for more than basic transportation.

15" Diagonal Premium GMC Infotainment System*

The cabin technology in the Acadia is anchored by the 15" diagonal Premium GMC Infotainment System*, a large vertical color touchscreen that gives the driver and front passenger a clean, modern command center. GMC notes that the system includes Google built-in* and Google Gemini*, helping drivers stay connected to navigation, apps, and information with a layout that feels intuitive. The screen size is especially helpful because it reduces the need to dig through small menus while driving. It works alongside the 11" diagonal Driver Information Center, which places important vehicle information directly in front of the driver. Available wireless charging* on Denali and select trims helps reduce cable clutter, while audio options include a Bose* Premium 12-speaker audio system on several trims and a Bose* 16-Speaker Performance Series sound system on Denali Ultimate. For families, commuters, and tech-focused shoppers, this setup turns the Acadia into a comfortable mobile workspace, entertainment hub, and navigation companion.

Available Super Cruise®

Available Super Cruise® hands-free driver assistance technology is one of the most advanced highlights of the 2027 GMC Acadia. GMC states that Super Cruise® allows hands-free driving on over 600,000 miles of compatible roads, helping reduce fatigue on compatible routes when conditions allow. It is standard on Denali Ultimate with a 3-year OnStar® One plan* and available on other properly equipped models. This feature is particularly meaningful for drivers who spend time on highway trips or regular commutes because it adds a more relaxed layer of driver assistance while still requiring attentiveness. Super Cruise® is supported by sophisticated vehicle systems and works within defined conditions, so the driver must remain engaged and ready to take over. Paired with other Acadia technologies such as Adaptive Cruise Control, camera views, and the available Head-Up Display, Super Cruise® helps make the SUV feel highly advanced without making the driving experience complicated. It is a premium feature that fits the Acadia’s position as a smart, family-friendly, long-distance-capable SUV.

Over 19 Safety and Driver Assistance Technologies*

Safety and driver assistance are major reasons to consider the 2027 GMC Acadia. GMC highlights over 19 safety and driver assistance technologies*, including Enhanced Automatic Emergency Braking, Front Pedestrian & Bicyclist Braking, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, Blind Zone Steering Assist, Adaptive Cruise Control, and Forward Collision Alert. Enhanced Automatic Emergency Braking works with Forward Collision Alert and uses radar and camera technology to help avoid or reduce the severity of a collision with a detected vehicle ahead, including at highway speeds. Front Pedestrian & Bicyclist Braking can help at speeds between 5 and 50 mph when a pedestrian or bicyclist is detected directly ahead, though performance can be limited at night or in low visibility. Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning can provide a brief steering wheel turn if the system detects an unintentional lane drift. Blind Zone Steering Assist can also provide a brief, firm steering wheel turn if a potential collision is detected with a moving vehicle in the lane the driver is entering. These features do not replace attentive driving, but they add valuable support.

Flexible Three-Row Interior and Cargo Space

The 2027 GMC Acadia is designed around real interior usability. It offers three rows of versatile seating, available passenger capacity for up to eight, and up to 97.5 cu. ft. of max cargo volume behind the first row. Cargo space measures up to 57.30 cu. ft. behind the second row and 23.00 cu. ft. behind the third row, making the Acadia useful even when all rows are in place. That third-row cargo room is important for families who regularly carry groceries, sports bags, backpacks, or small luggage without folding seats every time. Denali adds third-row power-folding seats and second-row one-touch folding seats, making it easier to switch between people and cargo. The AutoSense Power Liftgate adds another layer of convenience by opening hands-free when the driver approaches the rear of the SUV with the key fob in a pocket or bag. From Elevation’s After Dark cloth seats or available CoreTec® seating material to Denali Ultimate’s Woodland Mahogany full-leather massaging front seats, the Acadia cabin can be practical, premium, or both.
