“GMC’s brand mission is to be a leader in capability, professional-grade refinement, and technological innovation,” said Duncan Aldred, global vice president, Buick and GMC. “The all-new Acadia showcases all that and more in a uniquely GMC way — and it’s a blueprint of what’s to come for the GMC SUV portfolio.”

Storage and Spaciousness

The 2024 Acadia sits 10.6 inches longer and 3.2 inches taller than the previous generation, enabling enhanced passenger spaciousness and an expanded seating configuration of seven or eight passengers, depending on the trim.

The Acadia’s larger size also means more storage space — 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 Design Lead at GMC Ben Zavala in a recent news release. “With its assertive, powerful stance, the 2024 Acadia evokes a truck-inspired persona, infused with the brand’s signature premium feel.”

All trims of the Acadia are powered by a new 2.5L turbocharged engine that delivers more power and more trailering capability than the previous generation. Producing 328 horsepower and 326 lb-ft of torque, the new engine is paired with an eight-speed automatic on all trims with available all-wheel drive, including an exclusive off-road-capable active torque control AWD system on the redesigned Acadia AT4.

Available Super Cruise Driver Assistance Technology

The 2024 Acadia also offers Super Cruise — the hands-free advanced driver assistance system available on more than 400,000 miles of roads in the U.S. and Canada. The Super Cruise will be available on GMC trims such as Elevation Premium and AT4 in addition to Denali. Acadia will receive the latest version of GM’s Super Cruise technology, which includes trailering assist and automatic lane-change capabilities.
