Overview of the 2027 GMC Acadia in Stanton, TX

Three-Row GMC SUV: 2027 GMC Acadia

The 2027 GMC Acadia is a midsize, three-row SUV for drivers who need room for passengers and gear without moving up to the full-size Yukon. It sits between GMC’s two-row Terrain and truck-based Yukon, pairing a substantial GMC presence with seating flexibility, useful cargo volume, and technology designed for daily travel.

Four trims give the Acadia distinct personalities: Elevation emphasizes well-equipped utility, AT4 adds trail-oriented hardware, and Denali and Denali Ultimate bring progressively more premium materials and technology. For shoppers considering a GMC Acadia three-row SUV in Stanton, TX, the key choices are seating layout, front- or all-wheel drive, and the comfort or capability features that fit the way they travel.

Interior Space for Passengers and Cargo

The Acadia seats up to eight in Elevation with its second-row bench, or up to seven in configurations with second-row captain’s chairs. AT4, Denali, and Denali Ultimate use the seven-passenger layout. That gives shoppers a practical choice: prioritize one more seat or make a more open route to the third row.

The cabin provides 44.28 inches of front legroom, 41.45 inches in the second row, and 32.14 inches in the third. Cargo capacity remains useful even with all three rows upright:

• Behind the third row: 23.0 cubic feet
• Behind the second row: 57.3 cubic feet
• Maximum, behind the first row: 97.5 cubic feet

The second- and third-row seats can be folded to open more room for luggage, sports gear, or larger items. Denali and Denali Ultimate add second-row one-touch flat-folding seats and a power-folding third row. LATCH child-seat anchors are included, and the front seats are heated across the lineup. Heated rear outboard seats are standard on Denali and Denali Ultimate and available on Elevation and AT4 through applicable packages. Ventilated front seats are standard on Denali and Denali Ultimate and available on AT4 with the Luxury Package.

Material choices also change the feel of the cabin: Elevation offers cloth with available CoreTec, AT4 uses cloth/CoreTec, Denali has leather-appointed seating, and Denali Ultimate uses full-leather seats. The range lets shoppers choose between a straightforward everyday interior and a more richly appointed space.

Exterior Design With a Distinctive Stance

The Acadia’s upright profile, broad stance, and long wheelbase give it a confident road presence while supporting a roomy three-row layout. It measures 203.96 inches long, with a 120.93-inch wheelbase. Overall width is 79.56 inches on most trims and 79.95 inches on AT4; width with mirrors is 87.87 inches. The AutoSense hands-free power programmable liftgate is included across the lineup for easier access when your hands are full.

Wheel designs range from 18-inch aluminum wheels on Elevation and AT4 to 20-inch wheels on Denali and 22-inch wheels on Denali Ultimate. AT4 is the more adventure-focused choice, with standard all-wheel drive, all-terrain tires, a lifted ride height, off-road-tuned suspension, skid-plate protection, and red recovery hooks. Its 7.75-inch ground clearance is higher than the 6.77 inches listed for Elevation; Denali models measure 7.30 inches.

Exterior paint options include:

• Ink — available only on Denali and Denali Ultimate
• Glacier White Tricoat
• Summit White
• Ebony Twilight Metallic
• Riverstone Metallic — available only on AT4
• Volcanic Red Tintcoat
• Trailstone Green Metallic — available only on Elevation
• Sterling Metallic

Color availability varies by trim, and some paints may cost extra.

Turbocharged Power

Every 2027 Acadia uses a 2.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission. It produces 328 horsepower at 5,500 rpm and 326 lb-ft of torque at 3,500 rpm. With the same engine across all four trims, shoppers can focus on drivetrain, seating, and equipment rather than engine output.

Front-wheel drive is offered on Elevation and Denali models; all-wheel drive is available on Elevation, Denali, and Denali Ultimate. AT4 is all-wheel drive. Its Active Torque Control AWD system, Hill Descent Control, and up to six available Traction Select modes support travel on changing surfaces and maintained trails.

The Acadia can tow up to 5,000 pounds with the Trailering Package. Equipment includes a factory-installed hitch, seven-pin wiring harness, Class III hitch, heavy-duty cooling, Hitch Guidance, and Hitch View. Towing capacity is a maximum, not a rating for every loading situation: passengers, cargo, accessories, and trailer tongue weight affect the allowable trailer weight. Confirm the rating for the specific vehicle and trailer combination before towing.

Technology Review

The center display supports Google built-in compatibility, navigation capability, connected apps, personalized driver profiles, and wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ for compatible phones. GMC also offers up to 10 camera views to support parking, maneuvering, and trailer alignment.

Five technology highlights stand out:

• 15-inch infotainment display: Brings navigation capability, media, connected apps, and vehicle settings together on a large touchscreen
• 11-inch Driver Information Center: Keeps key vehicle information in the driver’s view
• Bose® audio: A 12-speaker system is standard on Elevation, AT4, and Denali; Denali Ultimate includes a 16-speaker Bose Performance Series system
• Head-Up Display and Rear Camera Mirror: Standard on Denali trims and available on other trims through applicable packages
• Super Cruise: Standard on Denali and Denali Ultimate and available on Elevation and AT4; it provides hands-free driver assistance on compatible roads, while the driver must remain attentive

Safety and Driver-Assistance Features

The 2027 Acadia includes more than 19 safety and driver-assistance technologies. Standard equipment includes systems for forward-collision response, following distance, blind zones, reversing, and cross traffic. These tools can support an attentive driver, but they do not replace active driving or awareness of the vehicle’s surroundings.

Five notable features are standard across the lineup:

• Enhanced Automatic Emergency Braking: Can provide or increase braking in certain detected collision situations
• Adaptive Cruise Control: Helps maintain a driver-selected gap from a detected vehicle ahead
• Blind Zone Steering Assist: Can provide a brief steering input when a potential side collision is detected
• Rear Cross Traffic Braking: Can alert the driver and brake when cross traffic is detected while reversing
• Reverse Automatic Braking: Can apply braking in certain detected rear-impact situations

Forward Collision Alert, Front Pedestrian and Bicyclist Braking, Rear Pedestrian Alert, Traffic Sign Recognition, and the Safety Alert Seat are also included. Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning is included on configurations without Super Cruise; Super Cruise-equipped versions use a different driver-assistance arrangement. Follow the Owner’s Manual for system limits and operating instructions.
