Key Features of the 2026 GMC Acadia

Super Cruise® hands-free driver assistance technology

Available Super Cruise® elevates confidence on compatible roads by enabling hands-free driving within its mapped network, while a driver attention system helps ensure you remain engaged. Lane centering support and smooth steering inputs reduce fatigue on longer stretches, and the system’s visual indicators provide clear status updates right where you need them. Integrated with the Acadia’s premium driver display and steering-wheel controls, Super Cruise® is intuitive to manage on the go, and it works harmoniously with the SUV’s robust suite of driver-assistance and safety technologies. Whether commuting near Pebble Beach, CA, or heading out for a weekend coastal run, the available capability is designed to help your drive feel more composed.

Bose 16-Speaker Performance Series sound system

Available in the lineup, the Bose 16-Speaker Performance Series sound system has been engineered specifically for the Acadia’s spacious three-row cabin. The result is striking clarity, well-defined imaging, and bass that feels strong yet controlled. Careful speaker placement helps deliver consistent presence to every seating position — whether you are in the first row or the third — and the system’s tuning complements spoken word, acoustic genres, and high-energy playlists alike. With this level of detail, phone calls are clearer, navigation prompts are easier to hear, and your curated library really shines. Pair it with the available panoramic sunroof, and you create a sense of space that makes everyday driving feel anything but routine.

Three-row seating for up to 8

The Acadia’s cabin is built to adapt, with seating for up to eight and thoughtful access to the third row. Second-row seatbacks fold and slide to help passengers climb into the third row with minimal fuss, while storage solutions throughout the cabin keep small items close at hand. The flat load floor makes it simple to pack sports gear or luggage, and a wide rear opening streamlines loading bulkier items. Interior finishes reflect each trim’s personality — Elevation’s After Dark cloth seats, AT4’s Forest Storm interior with Mahogany accents, Denali’s leather-appointed front seats in Sheer/Very Dark Atmosphere, and the Denali Ultimate’s Woodland Mahogany full-leather with massaging function — so you can choose the feel that best matches your lifestyle.

AT4 capability and confident traction

Purpose-built to inspire confidence when roads turn rough, the Acadia AT4 pairs its exclusive Night Rider chrome accents with an engineering focus on surefooted control. The stance and tuning are geared for light off-pavement travel and uneven surfaces, working to maintain traction and help smooth out broken terrain. Whether you are managing a gravel driveway, heading out to a trailhead, or navigating a weather-worn backroad, the AT4’s combination of capability and refinement gives you the flexibility to keep plans intact when conditions are less than ideal. This is the kind of everyday, real-world performance that makes the difference between delaying your day and proceeding without hesitation.

Signature exterior design details

From every angle, the Acadia’s design communicates purpose and presence. Elevation greets the road with GMC signature LED headlamps that project a modern, confident look. Denali’s Galvano Silver finishes and animated lighting deliver upscale drama that feels at home at the club or your favorite hotel. At the top of the line, Denali Ultimate’s Vader Chrome grille and GMC emblems create a distinctive, refined look without shouting. A rich color palette — including Glacier White Tricoat, Summit White, Ebony Twilight Metallic, Volcanic Red Tintcoat, Sterling Metallic, and Crystal Metallic — lets you tailor the vehicle to your taste. Together, these details give the Acadia a cohesive style that holds its own in any setting.
