Overview

General Motors sells a trio of three-row midsize crossover SUVs so closely related that choosing from the Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse and GMC Acadia comes down to design. If you think the GMC is the most appealing, you'll select from three available versions equipped with seven- or eight-passenger capacity and up to 97.5 cubic feet of cargo space. A turbocharged four-cylinder engine is the only one available, paired with front-wheel or all-wheel drive. When properly equipped, the 2025 Acadia's maximum towing capacity is 5,000 pounds.

Cost to Drive^{Cost to drive estimates for the 2025 GMC Acadia Elevation 4dr SUV (2.5L 4cyl Turbo 8A) and comparison vehicles are based on 15,000 miles per year (with a mix of 55% city and 45% highway driving) and energy estimates of $2.88 per gallon for regular unleaded in Virginia.}

Edmunds spotlight: Should you get the Super Cruise package?

Super Cruise is a hands-free driving assistance system that works on approved highways in the United States and Canada. Set a desired speed, let go of the steering wheel, and Super Cruise takes over until it encounters a situation requiring human input. The option is expensive, and it requires an active subscription to the service once the complimentary three-year plan ends. It is impressive, though not infallible, technology. People who drive long distances in light-traffic situations will benefit the most from Super Cruise. Others may decide it is a pricey novelty. Choose accordingly.

Competitors to consider

In addition to its siblings from Buick and Chevy, the GMC Acadia competes with a long list of rivals in a heavily contested vehicle segment. The heavy hitters include the Ford Explorer, Honda Pilot, Hyundai Palisade, Jeep Grand Cherokee L, Kia Telluride, Nissan Pathfinder, Toyota Grand Highlander and Volkswagen Atlas. The smaller Mazda CX-90 is an upscale alternative to the Acadia Denali and is available with a plug-in hybrid powertrain.

Which Acadia does Edmunds recommend?

The Acadia Elevation offers desirable features, seven- or eight-passenger seating capacity, and a choice between front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive. You can upgrade this trim with the Premium, Luxury, Super Cruise and Black Edition option packages to enhance the SUV's appearance, comfort and technology.

An Exciting Experience

2024 GMC Acadia Denali 4dr SUV AWD (2.5L 4cyl Turbo 8A)

Have purchased only SUVs in the past 35 years. The Acadia is not a totally new experience as it does have some similar desirable characteristics that led me to consider. Size, seating & 4 wheel-drive were important, but interior quality and comfort are also high and comparable to the Denali SUVs we enjoyed in two previous GM purchases. Fit and finish are high and the quiet ride in …

WOW! What a pleasure to drive

2024 GMC Acadia Elevation 4dr SUV (2.5L 4cyl Turbo 8A)

I had purchased my 2021 GMC Terrain SLT in Nov 2020 and like it, but it was not quite roomy enough with my 6'2" 240 lb frame sitting in the driver's seat. Then I saw and read about the 2023 Acadia being put on steroids and creating my longer, wider and taller 2024 Acadia, so I went to a dealership to sit in and drive one to see for myself. Wellll, 3 hours later, on June 24th, 2024, I …

2024 GMC Acadia Elevation 4dr SUV AWD (2.5L 4cyl Turbo 8A)

I love the 2024 Acadia because of the many safety features, spaciousness and the large center console. The technology is pretty good too except for the charging pad. My phone can barely be on there for an hour before it shuts down due to overheating. Also the lane assist is annoying then helpful. I had to turn it off because I either fighting with the car or it was driving like a drunk. …

2024 GMC Acadia AT4 4dr SUV AWD (2.5L 4cyl Turbo 8A)

Just purchased an 2024 AT4 this week. I test drove nearly every mid size and large size 3 row SUV on the market. The Acadia AT4 combines function and form better than the Grand Highlander, Lexus TX, Kia Telluride, Honda Pilot, Acura MDX, Ford Expedition, Chevy Tahoe, etc... The interior is on par with a Lexus and has better functionality and comfort than SUVs costing $15-$20k more. The …
