The GMC Acadia is a three-row midsize SUV that fills the gap between the smaller Terrain and the larger Yukon in the GMC lineup. The Acadia is offered in four trim levels, with plenty of available options to go around. For 2022, the SL trim level and its unimpressive 193-horsepower four-cylinder has been dropped from the lineup. The new year also sees more advanced driver aids added as standard equipment, new wheel designs and a new color: Light Stone Metallic.

We like the Acadia for its comfortable ride, powerful V6 upgrade engine and easy-to-use technology features. Sadly, these advantages are kept in check by its disappointing interior quality, somewhat underpowered base four-cylinder engine, and limited third-row and cargo space. As a result, the Acadia ranks below competitors such as the Kia Telluride, Hyundai Palisade and Honda Pilot.
The 2022 GMC Acadia is a six-passenger three-row SUV offered in four trim levels — SLE, SLT, AT4 and Denali — and with one of two engine choices. Most Acadia trim levels have standard front-wheel drive with all-wheel drive as an option. Feature highlights include: Compare the 2022 GMC Acadia trim levels in-depth.
Which Acadia trim does Edmunds recommend?
The SLT trim gets our vote because it offers far more standard equipment than the base SLE for a relatively small price bump. Some desirable options, such as the Technology and Luxury packages, are also available on the SLT. If you plan on towing, you'll want to get the Denali trim with its standard V6 engine and optional trailering package. This combination provides a 4,000-pound maximum tow rating.
The 2022 GMC Acadia has a 3 years / 36,000 miles basic warranty and 3 recalls. RepairPal gives it a reliability rating of 3.5 out of 5, ranks it #29 out of 32 among Midsize SUVs. Below you’ll find our owner reviews.

Manufacturer Recall Number:
N212344261
Number of vehicles affected:
2
Defect Description:
General Motors, LLC. (GM) is recalling certain 2022 GMC Acadia vehicles. The sensing diagnostic module (SDM) may have been left in "manufacturing mode" and not activated at the assembly plant prior to shipment. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 208, "Occupant Crash Protection."
Defect Consequence:
The air bags will not deploy with an unactivated SDM, increasing the risk of injury in a crash.
Corrective Action:
The vehicles will be returned to the assembly plant for SDM activation. Both affected vehicles are still in dealer inventory and therefore no owner notification letters will be mailed. Owners may contact GMC 1-800-462-8782. GM's number for this recall is N212344261.
Likes: Looks great, Powerful V6, very smooth transmission, solid braking, adjustable heads up display is great, plush comfortable ride on long trips, plenty of room for adults in 2nd row bucket seats, easy to navigate and personalize electronics, many safety features, defeat switch to disable stop/start feature, hidden tow hitch. Outside of the few minor personal dislikes listed below, … this is a really nice vehicle, and so far I am very happy with it.
Dislikes: No audible warning from blind spot monitor when using turn signal to change lanes.
Loud wind noise at highway speed when roof rack cross rails are installed.
Additional monthly fees for "MyGMC" internet app.
The optional integrated cargo mats don't fold well, and can be frustrating when raising 3rd row seats.
The right and left instrument panel clusters are designed differently than the
center cluster and the outboard halves of both can be difficult to see clearly when bright sunlight is coming through the driver's window.
My GMC Acadia AT4

2022 GMC Acadia AT4 4dr SUV AWD (3.6L 6cyl 9A)
Love my Acadia AT4, interior is simple which gives it a sport luxurious feel, quality materials and great fit and finish. All black wheels/trimming, awesome LED headlights, large front grill, gives it an aggressive sport luxurious look. Very comfortable ride quality and very fast V6 engine with a 9-speed transmission. Plenty of space, captain chairs and 3rd row.
2021 GMC Acadia Denali

2021 GMC Acadia Denali 4dr SUV AWD (3.6L 6cyl 9A)
Having bought two new Acadia Denali's prior to the 2021 model, we felt this purchase was a "no brainer"; however, nothing could be farther from the truth. We purchased the vehicle in January of 2021, and within 2,000 miles, it needed a new transmission. After getting it back from a week at the dealer, the sensor system started acting up and the vehicle started to smoke. We brought … it back to the dealer, and it was determined the engine block was porous per a GM service bulletin, and the entire engine needed to be replaced. It has been three (3) weeks and the vehicle remains at the dealer. We are a loyal GM family, but not are very scared of this vehicle and have requested a refund. Waiting to hear from the dealer. On a positive note, the dealership was attentive and emphathetic......
MAJOR Transmission Problems

2021 GMC Acadia SLE 4dr SUV (2.5L 4cyl 9A)
We bought a brand new 2021 GMC Acadia SLE on May 1st. It was so new that it only had 4 miles on it when we left the car lot. I drove it the first week and all was fine. Fast forward to May 8th, with 519 miles on the car, and all of a sudden, my car starts shaking and had to be towed to a dealer. The dealer said it needed a new transmission and supposedly fixed it, so I got the car back … on May 18th with 527 miles on it.
Today, May 23rd, I got in my car again and didn’t even get a mile away from my house when my car started shaking again and alerting me the transmission and engine needs services immediately. I called another tow truck and it’s now sitting at the dealer and we will have to see what they say tomorrow morning since it’s a Sunday.
Since purchasing the car on May 1st, I’ve had it to drive about 10 days and it has been at a shop basically 11 days including today.
We traded in a 2016 Mazda CX-5 to have more room for our growing family and we never had any issues with it. Wishing we kept the Mazda because this has been a headache.
This car has major issues for it to happen to us twice in a 3 week span. We also overheard someone at the dealership service department say ours was the 2nd Acadia to have this issue.
