Performance
The GMC Acadia is available with one engine under the hood. Corning drivers will love the power provided by the turbocharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine that can pump out 328 horsepower and 326 pound-feet of torque. This engine is more powerful than previous generations of the vehicle, allowing drivers to achieve a maximum towing capacity of 5000 pounds.
The GMC Yukon features three engine options, so if versatility in terms of powertrain is important to you, consider the GMC Yukon. Under the hood, two gas V8 engines range from producing 355 horsepower to 420 horsepower. The diesel engine is a turbocharged six-cylinder engine that can make 277 horsepower. This is available as an optional upgrade. In terms of performance, the GMC Yukon is also available with a package that provides drivers with great tools to help haul cargo along. The GMC Acadia features off-road-oriented trim levels like the AT4, which provides a one-inch lift, all-terrain tires, skid plates, front tow hooks, and more. Each of these SUVs provides drivers with diverse capabilities.


Interior and Technology

The main cabin of the GMC Acadia is plush, with drivers able to enjoy a 15-inch portrait-oriented touchscreen, giving it a hyper-modern feel.
