2027 Acadia Review in Muskogee, OK

2027 GMC Acadia: Three Rows, Four Distinct Personalities

The 2027 GMC Acadia is a midsize crossover for drivers whose transportation needs change from one day to the next. Positioned between the Terrain and the truck-based Yukon, it offers an alternative for shoppers who need more utility than a two-row SUV but do not want to move into a full-size model. For Muskogee drivers, its appeal is the balance of everyday practicality and GMC’s premium, capable character. Weekday carpools, shopping trips, and weekends away all place different demands on a vehicle. The Acadia gives you several ways to approach those demands rather than asking every buyer to choose the same equipment priorities.

The 2027 GMC Acadia trim levels include Elevation, AT4, Denali, and Denali Ultimate.

Interior Space

Elevation comes with eight-passenger seating and offers a seven-passenger configuration with second-row captain’s chairs through the Elevation Premium Package. AT4, Denali, and Denali Ultimate seat seven. An extra seating position may matter for carpools, while captain’s chairs provide individual second-row accommodations. Legroom measures 44.28 inches in the first row, 41.45 inches in the second, and 32.14 inches in the third. Bring your usual passengers when evaluating the cabin so you can check access and comfort in each seating position.

Cargo capacity changes with the seating arrangement:

• 23 cubic feet behind the third row: Space for everyday purchases and travel bags with every row upright
• 57.3 cubic feet with the third row folded: Additional room for luggage or recreational equipment while retaining the second row
• 97.5 cubic feet with both rear rows folded: An expanded load area when passenger space is not the priority

Heated front seats, an eight-way power driver’s seat, a heated steering wheel, and tri-zone automatic climate control are standard across the lineup. Individual climate settings for the driver, front passenger, and rear occupants help accommodate different preferences. Standard active noise cancellation provides cabin noise control. Materials also distinguish the trims. Elevation offers cloth seating or available CoreTec® seating material through the Elevation Premium Package. AT4 pairs cloth/CoreTec upholstery with a Forest Storm interior and Mahogany accents. Denali uses perforated leather-appointed seating, while Denali Ultimate features Woodland Mahogany full-leather seats and massaging front seats.

Both Denali trims include ventilated front seats, heated rear outboard seats, a power-folding third row, and one-touch folding second-row seats. Rear-seat folding controls make it easier to switch from carrying passengers to carrying larger items. A panoramic sunroof is standard on Denali Ultimate and available on the other trims, subject to package requirements. The standard LATCH system provides provisions for compatible child restraints. Consult the owner’s manual and restraint manufacturer’s instructions for seating positions and installation methods.

Exterior Details

The Acadia’s long profile and broad stance give it a substantial presence. Overall length measures 203.96 inches, and the wheelbase is 120.93 inches. Width including the mirrors is 87.87 inches, a useful measurement to check against your garage opening. Elevation wears 18-inch aluminum wheels. AT4 pairs its own 18-inch wheels with all-terrain tires and adds gloss-black roof rails, red front recovery hooks, and a steel skid plate covering the front approach and underbody. Denali uses 20-inch Pearl Nickel machined aluminum wheels, while Denali Ultimate has 22-inch machined aluminum wheels with an After Midnight metallic finish. Every trim includes an AutoSense hands-free power programmable liftgate for more convenient cargo access when carrying bags or equipment. Denali and Denali Ultimate also include animated exterior lighting.

Paint availability varies by trim, and select finishes cost extra:

• Summit White
• Glacier White Tricoat
• Ebony Twilight Metallic
• Volcanic Red Tintcoat
• Sterling Metallic
• Ink, available on Denali and Denali Ultimate
• Riverstone Metallic, available on AT4
• Trailstone Green Metallic, available on Elevation

Turbocharged Capability

Every 2027 Acadia uses a 2.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine producing 328 horsepower and 326 lb-ft of torque, paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission. Choosing an upper trim does not change that engine output, so you can focus your decision on the equipment and accommodations you want. Elevation, Denali, and Denali Ultimate offer front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. AT4 is AWD-only and includes an Active Torque Control AWD system. AWD provides another traction option for changing conditions, but appropriate tires and careful driving remain essential.

The standard Trailering Package includes a factory-installed hitch, seven-pin wiring harness, heavy-duty cooling, Hitch Guidance, and Hitch View. Each trim can tow up to 5,000 pounds when properly equipped and loaded. Before planning a towing trip, check the specific vehicle and trailer rather than relying only on the advertised maximum. Passengers, cargo, and optional equipment reduce the maximum trailer weight the vehicle can tow. Confirm tongue weight, hitch limits, and all applicable vehicle and combination ratings.

An off-road-tuned suspension, Hill Descent Control, and 7.75 inches of ground clearance further distinguish AT4. These features support drivers planning to use gravel access roads or campsite approaches. Evaluate the terrain and conditions before proceeding, and stay within the vehicle’s capabilities.

Connected Technology with a Clear Everyday Role

The 2027 GMC Acadia interior and technology center on a standard 15-inch diagonal Premium GMC Infotainment System. It provides Google built-in compatibility, navigation capability, connected apps, personalized profiles, and natural voice recognition. A separate 11-inch diagonal Driver Information Center displays vehicle information.

Five additional technology features worth comparing include:

• Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™: Standard integration for compatible phones without a cable connection
• Wireless phone charging: Standard charging capability for compatible devices
• Bose® audio: A standard 12-speaker system on Elevation, AT4, and Denali, with a 16-speaker Bose Performance system standard on Denali Ultimate and available with the AT4 Reserve Package
• USB connections in all three rows: Device connections for passengers throughout the cabin
• Eight-inch diagonal Head-Up Display: Standard on Denali and Denali Ultimate and available through the Luxury Package on Elevation and AT4, subject to package requirements

Super Cruise® hands-free driver assistance is available on Elevation and AT4 and standard on Denali and Denali Ultimate. It works on compatible roads and requires an active Super Cruise plan or trial. Always pay attention, follow applicable laws, and do not use a hand-held device while using the system. Connected services and features depend on compatibility, service requirements, and operating conditions.

Safety Features

Standard driver-assistance equipment supports several common driving situations. Adaptive Cruise Control can help maintain a selected following gap behind a detected vehicle. HD Surround Vision provides camera perspectives to assist with maneuvering, particularly when getting accustomed to the SUV’s dimensions.

Five notable standard safety and driver-assistance features are:

• Enhanced Automatic Emergency Braking: Can assist with braking for certain detected potential front-end collisions
• Front Pedestrian and Bicyclist Braking: Can provide alerts and braking assistance for detected pedestrians or bicyclists ahead within system limits
• Blind Zone Steering Assist: Can provide a brief steering intervention when a potential collision is detected with a moving vehicle in the lane being entered
• Rear Cross Traffic Braking: Can provide braking assistance for detected cross traffic while reversing
• Intersection Automatic Emergency Braking: Assists in certain detected collision risks at intersections

A standard Safety Alert Seat supplies tactile alerts, and Rear Seat Reminder adds a prompt during everyday use. Airbags and seat belts remain important parts of occupant protection. Always wear seat belts and properly secure children in appropriate restraints in a rear seat. Review the owner’s manual for operating conditions and limitations. Safety and driver-assistance features do not replace attentive driving.
