2024 GMC Acadia: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The 2024 GMC Acadia is fully redesigned, launching the model's third generation with a much larger body and a roomier, more technology-focused cabin. It also gets a new turbocharged engine, a reworked trim lineup, and a broader set of standard safety features.
About the 2024 GMC Acadia
3rd generation, first year of the redesign
GMC positions the Acadia as a premium three-row mid-size SUV for families who want more space and technology than a typical crossover, but in a size that is easier to live with than a full-size Yukon. The main draw is its mix of bold truck-inspired styling, a roomy cabin, strong everyday towing capability, and upscale features such as the large touchscreen, premium audio, and trim-specific personalities for sporty, off-road, and luxury buyers.
Elevation is the core three-row SUV, pairing the large standard screens with Bose audio, a power liftgate, and a surround-view camera. AT4 adds trail-focused hardware such as AWD, extra ground clearance, skid plates, and Terrain mode, while Denali emphasizes comfort with leather-appointed seating, ventilated front seats, a head-up display, and a power-folding third row.
What changed, by category
Powertrain
Every trim switches to a new 2.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder and eight-speed automatic transmission. Maximum towing capacity rises from 4,000 to 5,000 pounds when properly equipped.
Styling
The exterior is completely redesigned with a larger, more upright, truck-inspired shape.
Safety
More than 15 safety and driver-assistance features are standard. The surround-view camera becomes standard across the lineup, while AT4 gains standard park assist and Denali gains standard adaptive cruise control.
Tech
A 15-inch touchscreen and an 11-inch driver information display become standard on every trim.
Structural
The longer, wider, and taller body creates a roomier third row and substantially more cargo space. Maximum cargo volume rises from 79 to 97.5 cubic feet, and rear legroom increases from 29.7 to 32.1 inches.

(31 reviews)
“I really do not have to tell friends and family anything. They tell me what a great choice we made.”
“Be concerned about the center stack display and its usefulness. STD seat material is sub standard. Rear hatch proximity open is garbage. Gas mileage could be better. Interior fit/finish meh.”
