The trim trio for the 2025 GMC Acadia consists of the Elevation, AT4, and Denali. Their power source is a 328-horsepower turbocharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine. The Elevation and Denali come standard with front-wheel drive (FWD), while all-wheel drive (AWD) is an option. As the AT4 is designed for off-pavement adventures, it’s made exclusively with AWD. Regardless of their drivetrain, all Acadias get an eight-speed automatic transmission.
The FWD Acadia achieves an EPA-estimated 20 mpg in the city and 27 mpg on the highway. AWD slightly changes those figures to 19 mpg in urban driving and 24 mpg on the open road. As far as cargo space, the Acadia offers 23.0 cubic feet behind the third row, which expands to 57.3 cubic feet when the third row is folded down. With the second and third rows folded, the Acadia provides 97.5 cubic feet of cargo room. For those who intend to utilize that now-standard towing package (a Class III hitch, seven-pin wiring harness, 220-amp alternator, and a heavy-duty cooling system), the Acadia can tow up to 5,000 pounds.
GMC has equipped the 2025 Acadia with a good number of comfort and convenience amenities. The eight-passenger Elevation has an excellent mix for a base trim, getting CoreTec leatherette upholstery, heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, wireless device charging, a hands-free power liftgate, tri-zone automatic climate control, an eight-way power driver’s seat (with power lumbar controls), a six-way power front passenger seat, remote start, and proximity keyless entry. It also has an 11-inch driver information display, rear privacy glass, heated power side mirrors with integrated turn indicators, rear climate control, push-button ignition, USB ports for all three rows, and 18-inch aluminum wheels. The optional Elevation Premium Package will add second-row captain’s chairs (limiting total occupancy to seven), front passenger-seat power lumbar controls, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, and 20-inch aluminum wheels.
In the seven-passenger AT4, buyers will find the most rugged and capable Acadia. This trim is differentiated by a lifted chassis, an advanced AWD system with active torque control, and a performance suspension. In addition, the AT4 also has a high-approach front-end design, multi-terrain drive modes, skid plates, hill descent control, hill start assist, recovery hooks, and 18-inch wheels with all-terrain tires. The AT4’s standard equipment list also includes cloth and CoreTec upholstery, a six-way power front passenger seat (with power lumbar controls), exclusive exterior accents, roof-mounted side rails, sound-reducing windshield and front-side window glass, and an auto-dimming rearview mirror.
The plush Denali trim steers the Acadia in a truly upscale direction with perforated leather upholstery, heated and ventilated front seats, heated power-folding and sliding second-row captain’s chairs, a power-folding third row, a power tilt-and-telescopic steering column, genuine wood interior accents, ambient cabin lighting, animated exterior lighting, and 20-inch wheels. On the practical side, the Denali presents a driver’s memory system, a head-up display, sound-reducing glass, rain-sensing windshield wipers, and a heated wiper park.
All 2025 GMC Acadia trims receive a comprehensive suite of advanced driver-assistance systems, including forward collision alert, enhanced automatic emergency braking, front pedestrian and bicycle braking, blind-zone steering assist, rear cross-traffic braking, intersection automatic emergency braking, enhanced lane keep assist, rear pedestrian detection, reverse automatic braking, side bicyclist alert, and adaptive cruise control. A surround-view monitor, GM’s Safety Alert Seat (the driver’s seat vibrates during certain safety notifications), rear parking sensors, automatic high beams, a following distance indicator, traffic sign recognition, and rear seat reminder are also standard. For added convenience, the Acadia offers options such as semi-autonomous parking support and Super Cruise hands-free highway driving. The vehicle also comes equipped with a range of supplemental safety equipment, including a rearview monitor, anti-lock brakes, an array of airbags, stability control, and traction control.
All 2025 GMC Acadia trims boast a 15-inch portrait-style infotainment touchscreen. This advanced system features high-resolution graphics, customizable panels, and Google built-in for seamless access to Google Maps, Google Assistant, and other in-demand apps. The Acadia also has wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, SiriusXM satellite radio, Wi-Fi hotspot capability, and access to OnStar services. All trims are graced with a 12-speaker Bose sound system, which can be upgraded to a 16-speaker Bose arrangement in the Denali.
