The New 2026 GMC Acadia

The 2026 Acadia is powered by GMC’s proven 2.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine, delivering an impressive 328 horsepower and 326 lb-ft of torque. Paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission, it provides confident power for highway merging, towing, and off-road adventures alike. With front-wheel drive as standard and all-wheel drive (AWD) available across trims, the Acadia offers flexibility for all kinds of Ohio driving — from daily commutes to snowy rural roads.

Fuel efficiency is strong for its class, with front-wheel-drive models achieving up to 27 MPG highway and all-wheel-drive variants estimated at 24 MPG. Drivers who plan to take full advantage of the Acadia’s versatility will appreciate its 5,000-pound maximum towing capacity, making it easy to haul small campers, boats, or ATVs on weekend excursions.

The Acadia’s Traction Select System provides up to seven distinct drive modes, including Normal, Sport, Snow, Off-Road, Tow/Haul, and the AT4-exclusive Terrain Mode, ensuring precise performance in every condition. Combined with enhanced suspension tuning and available active torque control on AWD models, this SUV remains poised and balanced no matter where your journey leads.

Whether you’re navigating highways or heading into the backroads near Marion or Bellefontaine, the 2026 GMC Acadia is engineered for confidence and control. The AWD system seamlessly distributes power for enhanced traction, while Hill Descent Control and Hill Start Assist make steep grades easier to manage. The AT4 trim takes capability a step further with off-road-tuned suspension, twin-clutch AWD, and 18-inch all-terrain tires, ready to take on rugged terrain without compromising comfort.

When properly equipped, the Acadia’s Trailering Package enables it to tow up to 5,000 pounds — perfect for families with travel trailers, boats, or utility gear. Its long wheelbase and upgraded chassis also enhance stability at higher speeds, while electric power steering delivers responsive handling and precision in urban settings.

This balance between power and refinement makes the 2026 Acadia a top choice for drivers who want both the strength of an SUV and the sophistication of a luxury family vehicle.

Step inside the 2026 Acadia, and you’ll find an expansive, tech-forward cabin designed for both versatility and relaxation. GMC stretched the wheelbase by nearly 8 inches over the previous generation, providing a roomier cabin and more cargo capacity than ever before. With available seven- or eight-passenger configurations, the Acadia adapts easily to growing families or busy lifestyles.

Premium materials and craftsmanship define the interior across every trim. Soft-touch surfaces, aluminum accents, and available leather-appointed seating elevate the experience, while the Denali and Denali Ultimate trims take luxury to new heights with quilted leather, open-pore wood, and advanced seat adjustability. Heated and ventilated front seats come standard on higher trims, and tri-zone automatic climate control ensures every passenger stays comfortable, no matter the season.

The second row features Smart Slide captain’s chairs for easy access to the third row, and both rows fold flat for exceptional cargo flexibility. Behind the third row, you’ll find 23 cubic feet of space — expanding to 57.3 cubic feet behind the second row and 97.5 cubic feet total with all seats folded. Whether you’re loading up sports gear, luggage, or home project supplies, the 2026 Acadia has the space and flexibility to make it simple.

The 2026 GMC Acadia makes a bold visual statement that’s impossible to miss. With a longer and wider stance, the new body proportions give it a commanding road presence while maintaining sleek, aerodynamic lines. The signature C-shaped LED lighting and redefined GMC grille anchor its confident front end, while trim-specific accents — from chrome on the Denali to blacked-out details on the AT4 — make each model stand out.

A power-programmable AutoSense hands-free liftgate adds everyday convenience, opening automatically when you approach with your key fob. IntelliBeam® auto high beams, available roof rails, and a panoramic sunroof further enhance practicality and style. Standard 18-inch alloy wheels complement the SUV’s design, while 20-inch machined aluminum wheels in Galvano Silver or Pearl Nickel adorn upper trims.

Color options include striking shades like Downpour Metallic, Volcanic Red Tintcoat, Sterling Metallic, and Summit White, allowing drivers to personalize their Acadia’s appearance. Every design cue — from its refined contours to its muscular stance — reinforces GMC’s attention to craftsmanship and durability.

Inside the 2026 GMC Acadia, technology takes center stage with GMC’s next-generation digital ecosystem. Every model comes standard with a massive 15-inch infotainment display, complemented by an 11-inch fully digital driver information center. These systems deliver real-time navigation, vehicle performance data, and entertainment options with seamless precision.

Integrated Google built-in functionality gives you hands-free access to navigation, streaming, and Google Assistant voice controls, while Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ come standard. The available 8-inch Head-Up Display projects vital information onto the windshield so you can stay focused on the road. Music lovers will appreciate the available Bose 12-speaker or 16-speaker sound systems, creating concert-quality audio throughout the cabin.

On the safety front, the Acadia offers 15 standard driver assistance features under the GMC Pro Safety Plus suite. These include Enhanced Automatic Emergency Braking, Blind Zone Steering Assist, Rear Cross Traffic Braking, Forward Collision Alert, and Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning. Rear Park Assist and Adaptive Cruise Control further enhance situational awareness.

For added peace of mind, the Acadia offers available Super Cruise™, GMC’s hands-free driver-assistance technology compatible with over 750,000 miles of North American roads. This system provides lane-change automation and trailering support — a first for the Acadia.

The entry-level Elevation delivers impressive value with standard features like the 2.5L turbo engine, 15-inch infotainment touchscreen, 11-inch digital display, and LED exterior lighting. With seating for up to eight and an array of advanced safety features, the Elevation trim sets a high standard for family-friendly SUVs.

The AT4 is the adventure-ready model in the Acadia lineup, offering standard AWD, off-road suspension tuning, and all-terrain tires. Its bold dark exterior accents, exclusive Forest Storm interior, and hill descent control make it the ideal companion for Ohio’s backroads. The AT4 also includes trailering features and available Super Cruise™, merging rugged capability with refined technology.

Building on the Elevation’s premium design, the Denali exudes luxury inside and out. It features a unique chrome grille, 20-inch machined aluminum wheels, power-folding third-row seats, and heated and ventilated leather seats. The cabin features a premium Bose 12-speaker sound system, ambient lighting, and a head-up display.

The all-new Denali Ultimate trim represents the pinnacle of the Acadia lineup. This model includes full-grain leather seating, massaging front seats, open-pore wood accents, and a 16-speaker Bose Performance audio system. The Denali Ultimate also introduces a panoramic camera view system, adaptive air suspension, and standard Super Cruise™, making it one of the most advanced SUVs in its class.

The 2026 GMC Acadia stands as a true testament to GMC innovation — bigger, bolder, and more advanced than ever before. With its versatile three-row seating, premium materials, and cutting-edge technology, it’s a vehicle designed for Ohio families who expect more from every drive.
