The Acadia lineup gives each trim a clear purpose:
Inside, the Acadia balances three usable rows with a cabin that can change as passenger and storage needs shift. Elevation seats up to eight with a second-row bench, while an available package changes it to a seven-seat layout with captain’s chairs. AT4, Denali, and Denali Ultimate accommodate up to seven passengers with second-row captain’s chairs, creating a more open route to the third row.
Passenger dimensions include 44.28 inches of front legroom, 41.45 inches in the second row, and 32.14 inches in the third. Standard tri-zone automatic climate control allows the driver, front passenger, and rear passengers to use separate temperature settings. Heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, an eight-way power driver’s seat, and active noise cancellation further support everyday comfort throughout the lineup.
Three cargo configurations help the Acadia adapt without giving up its passenger-first purpose:
The interior experience becomes more specialized and premium through the lineup:
Denali and Denali Ultimate also include power-folding third-row seats and one-touch folding second-row seats, reducing the effort needed to reconfigure the cabin.
The 2027 Acadia combines GMC’s upright design language with proportions that support its three-row interior. Every trim measures 203.96 inches long on a 120.93-inch wheelbase. Width without mirrors is 79.56 inches on Elevation, Denali, and Denali Ultimate and 79.95 inches on AT4. With mirrors, width is 87.87 inches across the lineup.
An AutoSense hands-free power programmable liftgate is included on every trim. With the key fob present, it can open as the driver approaches the rear of the vehicle, making the cargo area easier to access when carrying bags or gear.
Wheel size, finishes, and functional hardware create the most meaningful visual differences:
AT4 also increases ground clearance to 7.75 inches, compared with 6.77 inches for Elevation and 7.30 inches for the Denali models. The added clearance complements its protective hardware and all-terrain tires for maintained trails, campsites, and uneven access roads.
Exterior color availability varies by trim and may involve an additional charge:
Every 2027 GMC Acadia is powered by a turbocharged 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine producing 328 horsepower and 326 lb-ft of torque. An eight-speed automatic transmission manages that output across the lineup. The shared powertrain provides consistent passing, merging, and trailering capability while allowing trim choice to center on traction and equipment.
Elevation, Denali, and Denali Ultimate are offered with front-wheel drive or available all-wheel drive. AT4 is AWD only and uses an Active Torque Control AWD System designed to help distribute power where traction is needed.
The Traction Select System provides up to six available modes, depending on configuration:
AT4 also receives an exclusive Terrain mode, Hill Descent Control, and an off-road-tuned suspension. This equipment helps it address loose surfaces and uneven routes, but it does not turn the Acadia into a specialized extreme off-road vehicle.
Every trim can tow up to 5,000 pounds with the standard Trailering Package. That package includes heavy-duty cooling, a factory-installed hitch, a seven-pin wiring harness, Hitch Guidance, and Hitch View. The rating can support many small campers, boats, and utility trailers when the vehicle and trailer are properly configured and loaded.
Passengers, cargo, accessories, tongue weight, and optional equipment affect how much a particular Acadia can safely tow. Buyers should confirm the ratings for the specific vehicle and trailer rather than treating the maximum figure as universal for every loading situation.
The Acadia gives every trim a technology-rich starting point. A portrait-oriented 15-inch diagonal Premium GMC Infotainment System serves as the central interface, while an 11-inch diagonal Driver Information Center places essential vehicle data directly ahead of the driver. Google built-in compatibility supports navigation, connected apps, and voice-based functions when the necessary services are active.
Technology becomes more specialized on upper trims. Elevation, AT4, and Denali include a Bose® 12-speaker premium audio system. Denali adds an 8-inch Head-Up Display, while Denali Ultimate upgrades to a Bose® 16-speaker Performance Series system. The larger audio system is also available on AT4 through the AT4 Reserve Package.
Super Cruise hands-free driver assistance is standard on Denali and Denali Ultimate and available on Elevation and AT4. It operates on compatible roads with an attentive driver and the required active service plan; it is not autonomous driving.
The 2027 Acadia includes more than 19 safety and driver-assistance technologies across the lineup. These systems address forward hazards, lane positioning, cross traffic, parking, and visibility around a three-row SUV. HD Surround Vision and a Safety Alert Seat are standard, while Teen Driver settings and LATCH provisions support households that carry younger passengers or share driving responsibilities.
The available Super Cruise Package adds hands-free driver assistance on compatible roads, Enhanced Automatic Parking Assist, and Driver Attention Assist. On equipped configurations, it replaces Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning. Feature operation can be affected by visibility, weather, road conditions, and other system limitations.
Driver-assistance technology does not replace careful driving. The driver remains responsible for operating the vehicle safely and following the Owner’s Manual for feature use and limitations.
The 2027 GMC Acadia brings together real three-row flexibility, a maximum of 97.5 cubic feet of cargo room, consistent turbocharged output, and technology designed to make a larger SUV easier to manage. Elevation focuses on versatile everyday value, AT4 adds hardware for more adventurous routes, and the Denali models raise the level of cabin comfort and technology.
