Pros
- Refined ride quality
- Quick acceleration from optional V6 engine
- Simple, easy-to-use cabin layout
Cons
- Cabin isn't particularly luxurious, even in the priciest trim level
- Some rival SUVs offer more cargo and third-row space
What's new

- Part of the second Acadia generation introduced for 2017
Overview
Looking for an SUV with three rows of seats and a comfortable ride? The 2023 GMC Acadia fits the description. And as a bonus, it comes in several styles, from the standard version to the flashy Denali, plus the bulked-up AT4 for the appearance of off-road adventuring. Whichever trim interests you, GMC hopes that you'll find the Acadia to be more upscale than some of its midsize SUV rivals, but not as expensive as a luxury SUV.

It's a nice idea, but we're not quite sold. This second-generation Acadia has been around since 2017 and has fallen behind more modern rivals such as the Hyundai Palisade and Kia Telluride. These two related SUVs provide more utility and better interior quality at a similar price. There are also the redesigned 2023 Honda Pilot, the relatively new Jeep Grand Cherokee L and the roomy Volkswagen Atlas to consider. Our test team finds the Acadia to be a decent pick, but odds are you'll find one of these other SUVs to be more to your liking overall.

2023 GMC Acadia trim level differences
The 2023 GMC Acadia is a three-row midsize SUV that comes in four trim levels: SLE, SLT, AT4 and Denali. SLE and SLT models come standard with a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine while the AT4 and Denali have a more powerful 3.6-liter V6. Front-wheel drive is standard and all-wheel drive is optional except on the AT4, which is AWD-only. Notable features on each trim level are as follows: Compare the 2023 GMC Acadia trim levels in-depth.
Which Acadia trim does Edmunds recommend?
Check out the SLT trim, particularly for its upgraded power-adjustable seats, cushier interior and improved stereo over the base model. That brings the Acadia more in line with its premium image, and the foglights and roof rails add functionality at a friendly price. But keep in mind that you'll need one of the costlier trims with the V6 engine and trailering package to upgrade towing capacity from 3,300 to 4,000 pounds.

My GMC Acadia AT4
5 out of 5 starsRicardo Rodrigues , 05/05/2022
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.
2023 Acadia SLE
2 out of 5 starsRyan, 06/12/2023
2023 GMC Acadia SLE 4dr SUV AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 9A)
We just purchased a 2023 GMC Acadia, SLE with a few upgrades. Overall, the vehicle rides great, gets decent gas mileage and is comfortable. However, the cabin area is a lot smaller compared to the Traverse that we had previously. Ours is equipped with the 2.0 turbo which has enough power, however, it is on its second trip to the shop for a reduced engine power and turbocharger code. The … first time this happened, it had just rolled over 700 miles, the second time it had just rolled over 800 miles. The dealership is supposedly going to fix it. I am not anxious to get it back and have to live at the dealership due to a lemon. I would recommend getting the 3.6 liter and a better trim or a different vehicle manufacture all together.
Very Happy!

2022 GMC Acadia SLT 4dr SUV (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 9A)
Test dove multiple cars in this class and several trims. Then just to be sure of my interests I skeptically test drive the 4cylinder SLT Acadia. Wow! Incredible ride, outstanding easy infotainment system, quiet smooth feel all at a great price point for todays off the charts SUV prices. After my test drive I bought this car instantly. All you need and nothing you don’t. Gas mileage is … surprising and all you get for the money is way better than any other SUV in this class. Go test drive and you’ll be as surprised as I was!
