GMC’s Ambitious Advance in the SUV Market

As GMC unwraps its latest offering, the 2024 Acadia, it’s clear that the brand is elevating its standard, marrying luxury with utility. As we delve deeper, it’s evident that the 2024 Acadia isn’t just about aesthetic allure—it’s about improvements in size, performance, and state-of-the-art technology.

Size That Speaks Volumes

Determined to amplify the luxury SUV experience, GMC has undertaken a notable transformation with the Acadia. The vehicle now stands 10.6 inches longer and 3.2 inches taller than its predecessor. Such expansion isn’t just cosmetic—it’s functional. The redesigned Acadia offers a new seating configuration, comfortably accommodating either seven or eight passengers based on the trim selected. This change is most noticeable during long road trips with the family, where everyone will have enough space to stretch out and feel more at ease.

Elevated Storage and Convenience

Spaciousness is synonymous with interior space. Recognizing this, the new Acadia dazzles with its augmented storage. An astounding 80% increase in cargo space behind the third row and a significant 36% behind the second row in comparison to the previous model proves that GMC has truly prioritized space and functionality. This makes the Acadia a great choice if you use your vehicle for activities that require a lot of gear, such as camping or mountain biking, for example.

More performance than in any Acadia before

Beyond the aesthetic changes, the new Acadia is also more capable. The introduction of the 2.5L turbocharged engine first seen in the 2024 Traverse solidifies its position in the premium SUV segment. With a hefty 328 horsepower and 326 lb-ft of torque, it promises not only a smooth drive but also superior towing capabilities—with a max trailering rating of 5,000 pounds when properly equipped. Paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive, this engine also makes for smooth and safe drives all year long. For those who like to adventure away from the pavement, the robust Acadia AT4 comes standard with a more capable Active Torque Control AWD system.

Tech Forward

GMC’s brand mission revolves around luxury and capability, something the 2024 Acadia has not forgotten. With the inclusion of cutting-edge features such as the portrait-oriented 15-inch-diagonal infotainment screen and available Super Cruise hands-free driver assistance, the Acadia is truly ahead of its time. This latest technology is a welcome addition as it allows hands-free driving over 400,000 miles of charted highways across North America, even when towing a trailer. To keep everyone entertained and informed during these long drives, the previously-mentioned screen houses the latest version of the Google built-in infotainment system and an 11-inch digital instrument cluster faces the driver with all of the information they need while out on the road.
