Key Features of the 2027 GMC Acadia

2.5L Turbo Engine

Every 2027 GMC Acadia is powered by a 2.5L Turbo engine paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission, producing 328 hp and 326 lb.-ft. of torque. That output gives the Acadia a confident feel during everyday acceleration, highway merging, and passing. The powertrain is especially appealing because it supports the SUV’s practical nature without feeling underpowered when passengers and cargo are on board. GMC also equips the Acadia with a Traction Select System that allows drivers to tailor vehicle behavior to different conditions. Depending on configuration, drive modes can include Normal, Sport, Snow/Ice, Off-Road, AWD, Tow/Haul, and AT4-exclusive Terrain Mode. For shoppers comparing family SUVs, this is an important advantage because it gives the driver more control over how the Acadia responds. With up to 5,000 lbs. of max trailering when properly equipped with the Trailering Package, Acadia can support small campers, utility trailers, and recreational gear, making it a useful companion for families who want one SUV for everyday life and weekend plans.

15" Diagonal Premium GMC Infotainment System

The 15" diagonal Premium GMC Infotainment System gives the 2027 Acadia a modern command center that is easy to appreciate from the driver’s seat. Its large vertical color touchscreen is designed to keep key information, maps, apps, and vehicle settings within clear view. GMC also notes Google built-in and Google Gemini capability, helping drivers stay connected to navigation, communication, and compatible digital tools. The screen layout gives the cabin a premium and organized feel, while the available wireless charging system in Denali helps reduce cable clutter. An 11" diagonal Driver Information Center complements the infotainment display by placing driving information directly in front of the driver. On select trims, the configurable 8" diagonal Head-Up Display adds another layer of convenience by projecting important information within the driver’s line of sight. For busy households, this technology matters because it can simplify daily routines, help with directions, and make the vehicle feel intuitive from the first drive.

Available Super Cruise® Hands-Free Driver Assistance Technology

Available Super Cruise® hands-free driver assistance technology is one of the most compelling reasons to consider the Acadia. GMC describes Super Cruise® as hands-free driver assistance technology for compatible roads, with coverage on over 600,000 miles of compatible roads. It is standard on Denali Ultimate with a 3-year OnStar® One plan and available on select configurations. This system is designed to help reduce fatigue on long highway drives when conditions are appropriate, while still requiring the driver to remain attentive. For shoppers who regularly drive between communities in Southern Colorado, Super Cruise® can add a more relaxed feeling to compatible-road travel. The technology works alongside Acadia’s broader driver assistance suite, reinforcing the SUV’s high-tech character. Drivers should always remember that advanced systems are not replacements for safe operation, but when used properly, Super Cruise® can be a standout convenience for those who spend meaningful time on the road.

Three Rows and 97.5 Cu. Ft. of Max Cargo Space

The 2027 GMC Acadia is designed around real passenger and cargo flexibility. With seating for up to eight, it can handle families, carpools, visiting relatives, teammates, and road-trip companions with ease. Cargo volume is another major strength, with 23.00 cu. ft. behind the third row, 57.30 cu. ft. behind the second row, and up to 97.5 cu. ft. behind the first row. That range means Acadia can adapt from daily passenger duty to larger hauling needs without requiring a truck or full-size SUV. Denali adds third-row power-folding seats and second-row one-touch folding seats, making it easier to switch from people-moving to cargo-carrying. The AutoSense Power Liftgate also improves convenience by allowing the liftgate to open hands-free when the key fob is in a pocket or bag. From groceries and sports equipment to luggage and home improvement supplies, Acadia gives owners a wide, useful cargo area backed by smart seating solutions.

Over 19 Safety and Driver Assistance Technologies

GMC equips the 2027 Acadia with over 19 safety and driver assistance technologies, giving shoppers a strong foundation of confidence. Enhanced Automatic Emergency Braking works with Forward Collision Alert 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 bicycle is detected directly ahead, though low visibility and nighttime performance may be limited. Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning can provide a brief steering wheel turn when unintentional lane drift is detected, while Blind Zone Steering Assist can provide a brief, firm steering input when a potential collision is detected with a moving vehicle in the lane being entered. Adaptive Cruise Control can automatically follow a detected vehicle ahead at a driver-selected gap. These systems support awareness, but the driver must remain attentive to traffic, surroundings, and road conditions at all times.
