2026 GMC ACADIA MODEL REVIEW - Scottsdale, AZ

What's New for the 2026 GMC Acadia?

The 2026 model adds two new exterior colors: Glacier White Tricoat and Riverstone Metallic. GMC has also introduced a new range-topping Denali Ultimate trim and made a passive entry key card standard across the lineup.

What Are the 2026 Acadia Trims & Features?

This midsize SUV is offered in four trims. Even the base Elevation model is well-equipped. Notable standard items include a 12-speaker Bose sound system, a 15.0-inch infotainment touchscreen, and an 11.0-inch digital instrument cluster.

If you plan to venture off the beaten path, consider the more rugged Acadia AT4. Upgrades such as an off-road suspension and an Active Torque Control AWD system allow it to handle tougher terrain.

The Acadia Denali raises the bar with a premium cabin featuring leather seating surfaces. It also includes ventilated front seats, a diagonal head-up display, and exclusive 20-inch machine-finished wheels.

Sitting at the top of the range is the all-new Denali Ultimate. It adds massaging front seats and a panoramic sunroof for added comfort, a 16-speaker Bose Performance Series audio system for superior sound, and Super Cruise hands-free driver assistance as standard equipment.

How Much Horsepower Does the 2026 Acadia Have?

All Acadia models are powered by a 2.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder that produces 328 horsepower and 326 lb-ft of torque. An eight-speed automatic transmission keeps the power delivery smooth. Front-wheel drive is standard, while all-wheel drive is available to improve traction. With the optional Trailering Package, the SUV is rated to tow up to 5,000 pounds.

What Safety Features Does the 2026 Acadia Include?

A comprehensive suite of standard safety tech helps give the Acadia strong peace of mind. An HD Surround Vision Camera improves visibility in tight parking situations, and Enhanced Automatic Emergency Braking helps reduce the risk of frontal collisions. Additional standard systems include Blind Zone Steering Assist, Adaptive Cruise Control, Rear Park Assist, and Lane Keep Assist.
