The 2024 Acadia is larger in all dimensions compared to the previous model. It sits 10.6 inches longer and 3.2 inches taller than the previous generation, enabling more passenger room and an expanded seating configuration of seven or eight passengers, depending on the trim. The Acadia’s larger size also means more storage space and versatility, including nearly 80% more cargo space behind the third row and more than 36% more behind the second row, compared to the current generation.

“For this next generation, our mission was to reimagine the design and the proportions of the Acadia to create a bolder, more commanding presence, firmly in the vein of the evolving GMC portfolio,” said Ben Zavala, design lead, GMC Acadia.

All trim levels of the Acadia are powered by a new 2.5-liter turbocharged engine rated at 328 horsepower and 326 lb.-ft. of torque. The engine connects to an eight-speed automatic with optional all-wheel drive, including an exclusive off-road-capable Active Torque Control AWD system on the Acadia AT4. The powertrain helps maintain Acadia’s trailering ability. When properly equipped, it has a max trailering rating of 5,000 pounds.
