2026 GMC Acadia Model Review - McKinney, TX

What's New for the 2026 GMC Acadia?

The 2026 model offers two new exterior colors: Glacier White Tricoat and Riverstone Metallic. GMC has also introduced a new range-topping Denali Ultimate trim and added a passive entry key card to the SUV's list of standard equipment.

What Are the 2026 Acadia Trims & Features?

This midsize SUV is available in four trim levels. Even the entry-level Elevation trim offers a lot. Some of its notable features include a 12-speaker Bose sound system, a 15.0-inch infotainment touchscreen, and an 11.0-inch digital gauge cluster.

If you plan to take your adventure off the beaten path, the more rugged Acadia AT4 should get your attention. Upgrades like off-road suspension and an Active Torque Control AWD system enable you to tackle more challenging terrain.

Featuring a premium interior with leather seating surfaces, the Acadia Denali delivers an even more upscale drive. Ventilated front seats, a diagonal head-up display, and exclusive 20-inch machine-finished wheels are all included.

Atop the lineup sits the all-new Denali Ultimate trim. While massaging front seats and a panoramic sunroof help passengers to relax further, a 16-speaker Bose Performance Series audio system takes your music-listening experience to the next level. Super Cruise hands-free driver assistance technology also comes standard on this ultra-luxurious trim.

How Much Horsepower Does the 2026 Acadia Have?

A 2.5-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder engine powers all versions of the new Acadia. It develops a stout 328 horsepower and 326 lb-ft of torque. An eight-speed automatic transmission enhances the powertrain's seamless performance. While front-wheel drive is standard, available all-wheel drive optimizes traction on slippery surfaces. The SUV can confidently tow up to 5,000 pounds when equipped with an optional Trailering Package.

What Safety Features Does the 2026 Acadia Include?

A long list of standard safety features enables the Acadia to inspire confidence. An HD Surround Vision Camera promotes better visibility in congested parking areas, and Enhanced Automatic Emergency Braking helps prevent frontal collisions. Other standard safety technologies include Blind Zone Steering Assist, Adaptive Cruise Control, Rear Park Assist, and Lane Keep Assist.
