Overview

Written by automotive expert Will Kaufman

8/8/2019

GMC has updated its Acadia SUV for 2020. Visually, the Acadia stands out more than it did before thanks to a tougher face that better matches GMC's truck-oriented marketing. The Acadia's outdated six-speed automatic is also gone, replaced with a new nine-speed unit that promises better acceleration and improved fuel efficiency. GMC has added a new optional turbocharged four-cylinder engine that should provide similar benefits compared to the base four-cylinder engine. The 3.6-liter V6 engine is still around.

For 2020, you get the latest generation of GMC's infotainment in the cabin, along with fast-charging USB-C ports. Finally, there's a new AT4 trim level that has more rugged styling and a few mild enhancements to aid in off-road situations.

All of these changes help make the Acadia a more distinctive choice. Previously, it failed to offer a significant enough experience compared with its roomier corporate sibling, the Chevy Traverse. But know that there are more choices than ever if you're shopping for a three-row crossover SUV. The Honda Pilot, for example, offers impressive all-around capability, while the slightly smaller CX-9 provides superior handling and a luxury-level interior. You should also consider the all-new Kia Telluride, which is one of our top-rated SUVs.

2020 GMC Acadia trim level differences

The 2020 GMC Acadia is available in five trim levels — SL, SLE, SLT, AT4 and Denali — and with three engine variants. The base SL is relatively well-equipped, though it lacks some common active safety features. Standard infotainment features for the SL include an 8-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay/Android Auto and OnStar with onboard Wi-Fi. The front seats are manually adjustable, and cloth upholstery is standard. Compare the 2020 GMC Acadia trim levels in-depth.

Which Acadia trim does Edmunds recommend?

Because of the 2020 changes, there's not much sense in opting for anything less than the SLT. That gets you the turbocharged engine, more comfortable second-row captain's chairs and leather upholstery (among other upgrades). The SLT also has access to more options, such as a better stereo to a full suite of driver safety aids. If you want to tow, you'll have to upgrade to the V6. It's rated for 4,000 pounds. The other engines can only manage a 1,000-pound trailer.

Valarie Stewart, 03/17/2020

2020 GMC Acadia SLE 4dr SUV AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 9A)

I only had my Acadia 2020 for about a month and some ran a stop sign in front of me going 60 mph! I had my dash cam on. It was awful!! Every airbags deployed. The other lady involved had to be taken to the ER while I walked away with just a black eye. Everyone who watched the video says THAT Acadia saved your life!!!

Exactly the right size - great car!

JD, 03/05/2020

2020 GMC Acadia Denali 4dr SUV (3.6L 6cyl 9A)

Pretty pricey... but it is the right size, not too big and not too small. Traded in a 2019 Tahoe - it was also a great car, but too big and "trucky." The Acadia handles more like a car - much more responsive and quicker. Wife is primary driver and she loves it!

Smooth Ride

2020 GMC Acadia Denali 4dr SUV (3.6L 6cyl 9A)

I have tested just about all of the midsize suv vehicles and this car by far has the best ride quality. The new transmission makes a major difference. Plus, I like that the suv isn't as large and bulky as some of the other vehicles in its class.

This thing moves!!

2020 GMC Acadia SLT 4dr SUV AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 9A)

This is a review of a rental. I rented one of these and drove it 8hrs home and really really enjoyed it! First impression-roomy, comfy, well lit interior. Felt actually more like getting in a truck. Impressive. Get it on the highway, holy cow this thing MOVES! VERY quick and it's very nimble. Does not feel at all like a suv, more car like and cat quick. I'm actually looking for a Escape …
