2025 GMC Acadia | Mid-Size SUV
The GMC Acadia has undergone several transformations over the years, evolving from a mid-size three-row SUV to a more compact version, and now returning to the larger end of the mid-size segment after its recent redesign. This growth spurt makes the 2025 Acadia one of the most spacious offerings in its class, with a third row that comfortably accommodates adults and leaves a reasonable amount of cargo space even when all seats are occupied.
The Acadia’s larger dimensions align it closely with platform mates like the Chevrolet Traverse and Buick Enclave. Powering the Acadia is a turbocharged four-cylinder engine delivering a strong 328 horsepower. While this engine provides solid performance, it tends to be noisier than the previously available V-6, which also offered a more engaging exhaust note and punchier acceleration.
Despite this, the redesigned Acadia impresses with sleek, modern styling inside and out, making it a visually appealing choice in the segment. Although it may lack the refined driving dynamics of its smaller predecessor, the latest Acadia offers practicality, space, and a bold design that fits the needs of families and adventurers alike.

Model Details
Engine, Performance, Fuel Economy, and Payload
The 2025 GMC Acadia packs a punch under the hood with a 328-hp turbocharged 2.5-liter inline-four engine that generates 326 pound-feet of torque, paired with a smooth eight-speed automatic transmission. Front-wheel drive comes standard, while all-wheel drive is available on most trims and standard on the adventure-ready AT4.
This latest generation Acadia now shares its platform with the Chevrolet Traverse, marking a shift from the previous generation, which was built alongside the Cadillac XT5, Buick Envision, and Chevrolet Blazer. During our time behind the wheel, the Acadia demonstrated confident cornering and stable handling for a vehicle of its size. However, the turbocharged four-cylinder, while powerful on paper, felt slightly less responsive in real-world driving than anticipated.
For off-road enthusiasts, the AT4 trim steps things up with GMC’s Active Torque Control all-wheel-drive system, increased ground clearance, off-road-tuned suspension, and underbody skid plates for added protection. A Terrain mode and hill descent control further enhance its capability on rugged terrain.
For highway drivers seeking cutting-edge convenience, Super Cruise, GM’s hands-free driving assist, is available across all trims, making long road trips more relaxing and enjoyable.
Payload and Towing Capacity
The 2025 GMC Acadia boasts an impressive 5,000-pound towing capacity across the lineup, putting it on par with competitors like the Toyota Grand Highlander, Honda Pilot, and Kia Telluride. This capability ensures the Acadia is ready to haul trailers, boats, or campers with ease, making it a versatile companion for road trips and outdoor adventures.
Every Acadia comes equipped with the standard Trailering package, which includes:
• Class III hitch for secure towing
• Heavy-duty cooling system to maintain performance during demanding hauls
• Hitch view integrated into the camera system for easier trailer alignment
• Seven-pin wiring harness to ensure seamless trailer connectivity
With this robust towing setup, the Acadia blends practicality with power, allowing you to confidently tackle your next adventure.
Fuel Efficiency
The 2025 GMC Acadia offers EPA-estimated fuel efficiency ranging from 19 to 20 mpg in the city and 24 to 27 mpg on the highway, depending on the powertrain and trim level selected. This balance of power and efficiency makes the Acadia a competitive option in the midsize SUV segment, ensuring strong performance without compromising fuel savings.
