2027 Acadia Specs and Features

Get to Know the 2027 GMC Acadia in Ardmore, OK

The 2027 GMC Acadia brings three-row passenger space, turbocharged capability, and a distinctly premium approach to everyday transportation. This midsize SUV gives Ardmore drivers room to carry a larger group without making every trip about maximum passenger capacity. Fold the rear seats, and the same cabin becomes a place for luggage, sports equipment, or the next household project. In GMC’s SUV lineup, the Acadia sits between the smaller Terrain and the truck-based Yukon. Its appeal centers on combining flexible crossover utility with the design and equipment choices that distinguish GMC: a technology-rich Elevation, an adventure-oriented AT4, and the more upscale Denali and Denali Ultimate.

Choosing an Acadia is about matching its passenger accommodations, capability equipment, and comfort features to your routine. Here’s a closer look at the 2027 GMC Acadia specs and features that matter when you're deciding.

A Cabin That Adapts to Your Passenger List

The 2027 GMC Acadia interior pairs three-row flexibility with comfort features that reach beyond the front seats. Elevation comes with eight-passenger seating and offers a seven-passenger layout with second-row captain’s chairs. AT4, Denali, and Denali Ultimate seat seven. That distinction is worth considering early: an extra seating position and the separation of captain’s chairs serve different needs. Front-row legroom measures 44.28 inches, followed by 41.45 inches in the second row and 32.14 inches in the third. For households that regularly carry a full passenger load, trying the seating positions in person helps match the layout to the people who will use it.

Cargo space changes with your plans:

• 23 cubic feet behind the third row: Room for everyday bags and groceries while retaining all three rows
• 57.3 cubic feet with the third row folded: Additional space for luggage or equipment when fewer passengers are riding
• 97.5 cubic feet with both rear rows folded: The largest cargo configuration for bulky items

Every trim includes heated front seats, an eight-way power driver’s seat, a heated steering wheel, and tri-zone automatic climate control. Separate climate settings for the driver, front passenger, and rear occupants make shared travel more accommodating. Active noise cancellation also comes standard. Materials help define each trim’s character. Elevation offers cloth upholstery or available CoreTec® seating through the Elevation Premium Package. AT4 uses a Forest Storm cloth/CoreTec interior with Mahogany accents. Denali adds perforated leather-appointed seating, while Denali Ultimate uses Woodland Mahogany full leather and includes front-seat massage functions.

Denali and Denali Ultimate also include ventilated front seats, heated rear outboard seats, a power-folding third row, and one-touch folding second-row seats. Those folding features make changing from passenger duty to cargo duty more convenient. A panoramic sunroof is available on other trims and standard on Denali Ultimate. Standard LATCH provisions support the installation of compatible child restraints; follow the owner’s manual and child-seat instructions for the appropriate seating positions.

Bold Proportions, Distinct Trim Details

The Acadia’s substantial stance is backed by a 120.93-inch wheelbase and an overall length of 203.96 inches. Width with mirrors measures 87.87 inches, a useful figure to keep in mind when checking garage clearance or planning where the SUV will park. Elevation starts with 18-inch aluminum wheels. AT4 also uses 18-inch wheels, but pairs its dark machined finish with all-terrain tires, gloss-black roof rails, red front recovery hooks, and a steel skid plate covering the front approach and underbody. Denali moves to 20-inch Pearl Nickel machined aluminum wheels, while Denali Ultimate features 22-inch machined aluminum wheels with an After Midnight metallic finish.

The standard AutoSense hands-free power programmable liftgate adds a practical counterpoint to the styling. It helps make the cargo area more accessible when your hands are occupied. Denali models add animated exterior lighting and brushed-aluminum roof rails, giving their exterior treatment a more polished character.

Color availability depends on the trim, and select finishes carry an extra charge:

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

Turbocharged Power With Useful Trailering Capability

Every 2027 Acadia uses a 2.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine producing 328 horsepower and 326 lb-ft of torque. An eight-speed automatic transmission is standard across the lineup. Elevation, Denali, and Denali Ultimate offer front-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive configurations. AT4 comes with all-wheel drive and adds an Active Torque Control AWD system. Choosing AWD adds another way to manage traction as road conditions change, but it does not replace appropriate tires or careful driving.

Capability for the Trailer and the Trail

The standard Trailering Package includes a factory-installed hitch, a seven-pin wiring harness, heavy-duty cooling, Hitch Guidance, and Hitch View. Elevation, AT4, Denali, and Denali Ultimate can each tow up to 5,000 pounds when properly equipped and loaded. That rating gives the Acadia a role in recreational towing, provided the specific trailer and loaded vehicle remain within all applicable limits. Optional equipment, passengers, and cargo reduce the trailer weight the vehicle can tow. Check the vehicle’s ratings, trailer tongue weight, and loading requirements before planning a trip. AT4 adds an off-road-tuned suspension, Hill Descent Control, and 7.75 inches of ground clearance. Paired with its traction equipment and underbody protection, those features make it the Acadia trim to consider when your routine includes unpaved access roads or campsite approaches.

Technology That Supports Busy Travel

The 2027 GMC Acadia interior and technology keep navigation, entertainment, and connectivity close at hand. The Premium GMC Infotainment System supports Google built-in compatibility, navigation capability, connected apps, personalized profiles, and natural voice recognition. USB connections serve all three rows, giving rear passengers access to charging on longer trips.

Five notable technology features include:

• 15-inch diagonal infotainment touchscreen: A standard, large interface for navigation, entertainment, and compatible connected features
• Wireless smartphone integration: Standard wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ for compatible phones
• Wireless phone charging: Standard charging capability for compatible devices
• Bose® audio systems: A standard 12-speaker system on Elevation, AT4, and Denali, with a 16-speaker Bose® Performance system standard on Denali Ultimate and available through the AT4 Reserve Package
• Eight-inch diagonal Head-Up Display: Standard on Denali and Denali Ultimate and available through the Luxury Package on Elevation and AT4

Super Cruise® hands-free driver assistance is another feature to consider when comparing equipment. It is available on Elevation and AT4 and standard on Denali and Denali Ultimate. Super Cruise operates only on compatible roads and requires an active plan or trial. Drivers must remain attentive, follow applicable laws, and avoid using a hand-held device. Connected features and services are subject to compatibility, service-plan requirements, and operating conditions.

Driver Assistance for Everyday Situations

The Acadia includes standard safety and driver-assistance equipment designed to support the driver in traffic, around intersections, and while maneuvering. HD Surround Vision provides camera perspectives around the vehicle, while Forward Collision Alert can warn of a detected potential collision ahead. Adaptive Cruise Control helps manage the following gap behind a detected vehicle.

Five notable standard safety or driver-assistance features are:

• Enhanced Automatic Emergency Braking: Can help avoid or reduce the severity of certain detected front-end collisions
• Front Pedestrian and Bicyclist Braking: Can provide alerts and braking assistance for detected pedestrians or bicyclists ahead within the system’s operating limits
• Blind Zone Steering Assist: Can provide steering assistance when a potential collision is detected with a moving vehicle in the lane you are entering
• Rear Cross Traffic Braking: Can help respond to detected cross traffic while reversing
• Intersection Automatic Emergency Braking: Adds assistance for certain detected collision risks at intersections

A standard Safety Alert Seat provides tactile alerts, and Rear Seat Reminder offers another prompt during daily use. Airbags and child-restraint provisions complement the assistance systems. Always wear seat belts, properly secure children in appropriate restraints, and consult the owner’s manual for feature limitations. Driver-assistance technology does not replace attentive driving.
