GMC has taken the wraps off the highly anticipated all-new 2024 Acadia, setting a new standard for premium mid-size SUVs and ushering in a new era for the brand’s SUV and crossover family. This latest iteration boasts an extended body, enhanced interior, elevated exterior design, advanced technology, and a comprehensive set of safety features.
Duncan Aldred, Global Vice President of Buick and GMC, stated, “GMC’s brand mission is to be a leader in capability, professional grade refinement, and technological innovation. 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.”
The 2024 Acadia is larger in all dimensions compared to its predecessor, providing increased passenger space and flexibility with a seating configuration accommodating seven or eight passengers, depending on the trim. The larger size translates to expanded storage capacity, offering nearly 80 percent more cargo space behind the third row and over 36 percent more behind the second row compared to the current generation.
Under the hood, all trims of the Acadia feature a new 2.5L turbocharged engine, delivering more power and trailering capability than the previous generation. Generating 328 horsepower and 326 lb-ft of torque, the engine is paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission on all trims with available all-wheel drive. The Acadia AT4 model boasts an exclusive off-road-capable Active Torque Control AWD system.
The 2024 Acadia introduces Super Cruise, an advanced hands-free driver assistance system, making it the fifth GMC model to offer this groundbreaking technology. Super Cruise is available on various trims, including Elevation Premium and AT4, in addition to Denali. The latest version of Super Cruise includes trailering assist and automatic lane-change capabilities.
Inside, the Acadia features a new interior with a 15-inch-diagonal premium GMC infotainment system display across all trims. The system offers customizable touchscreen displays, Google built-in compatibility, and a high-contrast display. The interior also includes a standard 11-inch-diagonal driver information center.
The Acadia’s advanced technology extends to its camera views, with up to nine available options for enhanced visibility. The SUV boasts an extensive list of standard advanced safety features and driver assistance technologies, ensuring a safe and secure driving experience.
The Acadia lineup includes the rugged AT4 model, emphasizing off-road capability with distinctive design elements and exclusive interior appointments. On the other end, the Denali model epitomizes refined luxury, featuring one-touch folding second-row seats, power-folding third row, distinctive exterior trim, and a host of luxurious interior features.
Production of the 2024 GMC Acadia is set to take place at GM’s Lansing Delta Township Assembly in Michigan, with availability expected in early 2024. Further details, including pricing, will be announced closer to the start of production.
