Acadia

2007 – 2025

The GMC Acadia is a mid-size crossover SUV introduced for 2007 as GMC's first unibody family vehicle, built to offer three-row seating in a car-based package. Early models used GM's Lambda platform with V6 power. The second generation was smaller and moved to the C1XX architecture with four-cylinder turbo and V6 engine choices. It sits between the compact Terrain and the full-size Yukon in GMC's lineup, with front- or all-wheel drive. Upmarket Denali trims add the luxury touches of the brand's Professional Grade line.

The Story

Why the Acadia matters

The Acadia launched for 2007 as GMC's first crossover. It was built on GM's Lambda platform alongside the Buick Enclave and Chevrolet Traverse, and it replaced the truck-based Envoy and Safari in showrooms. A second generation arrived for 2017 on the shorter C1XX platform, which shrank the vehicle to a midsize footprint. A 2020 facelift added the AT4 off-road trim, a turbocharged 2.0-liter four and a nine-speed automatic. The third generation, launched for 2024, grew substantially larger once more and offered a turbocharged 2.5-liter four as its only engine.
