Shop GMC Acadia InventoryValue Your TradeSchedule a Test Drive

The 2027 GMC Acadia produces 328 hp and 326 lb-ft of torque from its 2.5L turbocharged inline-4 engine. That output surpasses the prior-generation Acadia's naturally aspirated V6, delivered through an 8-speed automatic. This page covers every trim, key specs, and available Acadia inventory at ASA Auto Plaza serving Austin, MN.

What's New for 2027

The headline change for 2027 is the standard 15-inch touchscreen across all Acadia trims, replacing the smaller display that shipped in earlier model years. Google Built-In is now part of the infotainment operating system, which means native Google Maps, Google Assistant, and the Google Play ecosystem are embedded rather than mirrored.

Super Cruise, GMC's hands-free driver assistance technology, is now standard on Denali and Denali Ultimate trims rather than a paid upgrade. Buyers can also extend Super Cruise connectivity with an OnStar One with Super Cruise Plan extending up to 8 years. The HD Surround Vision system with 10 available camera views is standard across the lineup, a meaningful step up in standard safety content from the previous generation.

The AT4 gains Hill Descent Control and a standard skid plate in its AWD configuration, reinforcing its off-road positioning within the Acadia lineup. The Denali Ultimate adds full-leather seating, a 16-speaker Bose performance audio system, and standard power massage for both front seats.

Trim Lineup

The 2027 Acadia spans four trims. Each adds meaningful content over the one below it.

Elevation

Elevation is the entry point and is better-equipped than the name suggests. Standard features include the 15-inch touchscreen, Bose premium audio, heated front seats, heated steering wheel, wireless charging, remote start, and a hands-free power liftgate. FWD is standard; AWD is available. The Elevation seats up to 8 passengers in its standard configuration, which is a capability the Denali-level trims give up in favor of a captain's chair second row.

AT4

AT4 is AWD-standard and targets buyers who want outdoor capability without stepping into a truck. It adds a standard skid plate, Hill Descent Control, 18-inch all-terrain tires, red recovery hooks, and an Active Torque Control AWD System not found on other trims. Ground clearance rises to 7.75 inches, compared to 6.77 inches on FWD Elevation. The AT4 also adds a Bose performance audio system when equipped with AWD, front sill plates, and Gloss Black roof-mounted side rails.

Denali

Denali raises the cabin material level with Perforated Leather-Appointed seating, heated and ventilated front seats, a power tilt and telescoping steering column, memory settings, Rainsense automatic wipers, LED headlamps, and the Signature Denali grille. Super Cruise is standard. The Denali Reserve Package adds 22-inch Pearl Nickel machined aluminum wheels and additional premium content.

Denali Ultimate

Denali Ultimate is the top configuration and includes every significant luxury feature. Full-leather seating, a suede-like headliner, power massage for both front seats, a 16-speaker Bose performance audio system, the 8-inch configurable Head-Up Display, a panoramic power sunroof, and a 1-Touch flat folding and Smart Slide second row seat are all standard. AWD is standard. Denali Ultimate buyers in Austin and across southern Minnesota looking for a fully loaded three-row SUV will find this is the one trim that requires no options to feel complete.

Performance & Powertrain

Every 2027 Acadia uses the same 2.5L turbocharged inline-4, producing 328 hp and 326 lb-ft of torque. The 8-speed automatic transmission is the only gearbox offered. FWD is standard on Elevation and both Denali FWD configurations.

AWD is standard on AT4 and Denali Ultimate; it is available on Elevation AWD and Denali AWD.

Fuel economy for FWD models reaches 20 city / 27 hwy / 22 combined MPG. AWD models return 20 city / 23 hwy / 21 combined MPG. See EPA fuel economy ratings for the 2027 GMC Acadia. The AT4's AWD system includes an Active Torque Control system that manages power distribution between axles under varying conditions, a feature not shared with the standard AWD system on Elevation and Denali trims.

Towing capacity is 5,000 lbs across all configurations. A Trailering Package and Hitch Guidance are standard on every trim, which keeps trailering capability accessible without option-hunting.

Interior, Comfort & Cargo

The Acadia's cabin measures 203.96 inches overall in length, with front legroom of 44.28 inches and second-row legroom of 41.45 inches. Third-row legroom comes in at 32.14 inches, which is adequate for younger passengers and occasional adult use.

Cargo behind the third row is 23 cubic feet. Fold the second and third rows and the number grows to 97.5 cubic feet, which competes directly with larger three-row crossovers.

The Elevation's 8-passenger layout accommodates larger families, while Denali and AT4 trims use a 7-passenger captain's chair arrangement that adds center-aisle access at the cost of one seat.

Tri-zone automatic climate control is standard on all trims. Rear climate controls give second and third-row passengers independent temperature adjustment. The Denali Ultimate adds a suede-like headliner and full-floor deluxe carpeted mats, bringing a noticeably quieter and more refined feel than lower trims. Active Noise Cancellation, including engine and driveline noise control, is standard across the lineup.

Technology & Infotainment

The 15-inch diagonal GMC Premium Infotainment System touchscreen is standard on every 2027 Acadia. It runs Google Built-In, which means Google Maps navigation, Google Assistant voice commands, and compatible Google apps work natively without a phone connection. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are also available for phone-based connectivity.

The 11-inch Driver Information Center digital cluster sits ahead of the driver on all trims. Wireless charging, USB ports front and rear, a 120-volt power outlet, and Wi-Fi Hotspot capability are all standard.

Super Cruise is available on Elevation via the Super Cruise Package, and it is standard on Denali and Denali Ultimate. It provides hands-free driving capability on compatible divided highways. The 8-inch Head-Up Display is available on Elevation and Denali, and standard on Denali Ultimate. SiriusXM with 360L Trial Subscription is standard across all trims.

Safety & Driver Assistance

The 2027 Acadia carries a full suite of standard active safety technology.

• Forward Collision Alert with Enhanced Automatic Emergency Braking
• Pedestrian and Bicycle Detection active from 5 to 50 mph
• Blind Zone Steering Assist
• Rear Cross Traffic Braking

Rear Park Assist is standard on Elevation and AT4. The Safety Alert Seat, Teen Driver technology, Rear Seat Reminder, and Adaptive Cruise Control round out the standard package on all trims.

The AT4 adds Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning as standard in its AWD build. Denali and Denali Ultimate add Enhanced Automatic Parking Assist as standard, along with a Rear Camera Mirror and Driver Attention Assist.

Who It's For / vs the Prior Year

The 2027 Acadia is the right choice for buyers who want three rows, serious turbocharged power, and a technology package that does not require stepping up multiple trim levels to feel current. The 328 hp output and standard 15-inch Google Built-In touchscreen are the two largest upgrades over the outgoing generation.

Buyers coming from the previous Acadia generation will notice the loss of an available V6 option, but the turbocharged inline-4 produces more peak horsepower and more torque than the outgoing engine in a lighter package. Families in Austin, MN who need a capable all-weather hauler will find the AT4's standard AWD and Hill Descent Control directly relevant to Minnesota winters. Buyers prioritizing refinement and hands-free driving should look at Denali or Denali Ultimate, where Super Cruise comes standard without an extra package charge.
