2024 GMC Acadia

With the third-generation 2024 Acadia, GMC rights a wrong. It grows in size, replacing a smaller version of the model and returning the Acadia to the upper end of the three-row family SUV segment in passenger and cargo space. That change alone should flood showrooms with customers, but there is more to the story. The new 2024 Acadia boasts a powerful turbocharged engine, the latest infotainment technology, and lots of safety features, including a hands-free driving assist system called Super Cruise. Good looks cap a successful redesign for the 2024 model year.

The original recipe GMC Acadia combined the interior room of a full-size GMC Yukon with the comfortable driving dynamics and better fuel economy of a crossover SUV. It was a hit. But when the second-generation model arrived in 2017, the Acadia shrank in size, losing what helped to make it stand apart from its rivals. Now, the redesigned third-gen 2024 GMC Acadia returns to its roots. Inside, you'll find more room for up to eight passengers in all three rows of seats, plus substantial increases in cargo volume.

Underneath the General Motors umbrella, the new GMC Acadia shares its engineering and technology with the 2024 Chevrolet Traverse and 2025 Buick Enclave. Aside from those corporate cousins, the list of direct competitors includes premium-positioned models such as the Jeep Grand Cherokee L, Mazda CX-90 and Volkswagen Atlas. However, the redesigned Acadia is a credible rival to numerous mainstream and luxury midsize SUVs equipped with three rows of seats and could prove an appealing alternative to nearly everything from the Acura MDX to the Volvo XC90.
