2027 GMC Acadia: Three-Row Versatility in Punta Gorda, FL

Meet the 2027 GMC Acadia

The 2027 GMC Acadia is a midsize, three-row SUV for shoppers who need flexible passenger space, useful cargo room, and everyday trailering capability. It occupies the middle of GMC’s SUV range, offering more seating and cargo capacity than the two-row Terrain while remaining smaller than the full-size Yukon. For families in Punta Gorda, its blend of room, technology, and available all-wheel drive can suit school runs, errands, airport trips, and longer Florida road trips.

Gettel Buick GMC shoppers can compare four trims: Elevation, AT4, Denali, and Denali Ultimate. Elevation provides the only eight-passenger configuration and can also be configured for seven. AT4 adds standard Active Torque Control AWD and off-road-focused equipment. Denali emphasizes premium comfort, while Denali Ultimate adds the lineup’s richest seating, audio, and technology.

Interior

The Acadia cabin combines three-row seating with practical space for daily family routines. Elevation seats up to eight with a second-row bench or seven with available captain’s chairs. AT4, Denali, and Denali Ultimate use a seven-passenger layout with second-row captain’s chairs. Tri-zone automatic climate control, heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, and active noise cancellation are included across the retail lineup.

Interior Dimensions

• Front/second-/third-row legroom: 44.28/41.45/32.14 inches
• Front/second-/third-row headroom without the panoramic sunroof: 42.60/40.03/38.23 inches
• Front/second-/third-row shoulder room: 62.00/62.00/57.94 inches
• Cargo capacity behind the third row: 23.0 cubic feet
• Cargo capacity behind the second row: 57.3 cubic feet
• Maximum cargo capacity behind the front row: 97.5 cubic feet

The 23-cubic-foot cargo area handles groceries or smaller luggage loads with all rows occupied. Folding the rear rows creates room for sports equipment, home supplies, or vacation gear.

Interior Highlights

• Cloth/CoreTec seating and second-row captain’s chairs in AT4
• Perforated leather-appointed first- and second-row seating in Denali
• Full-leather first- and second-row seating in Denali Ultimate
• Ventilated front seats in Denali and Denali Ultimate; available in AT4
• Heated rear outboard seats in Denali and Denali Ultimate; available on Elevation and AT4 through applicable packages
• Power-folding third row and one-touch folding second row in Denali models
• Massaging front seats in Denali Ultimate
• LATCH child-restraint system and Rear Seat Reminder

These choices let buyers prioritize maximum seating, easier third-row access, or premium comfort.

Exterior

The 2027 Acadia uses a long wheelbase, tall profile, and wide stance to support its roomy cabin. Trim-specific details give each version a distinct personality: Elevation is clean and practical, AT4 adds rugged cues and extra clearance, and the Denali models bring brighter finishes and larger wheels.

Exterior Dimensions

• Wheelbase: 120.93 inches
• Overall length: 203.96 inches
• Overall width without mirrors: 79.56 inches for Elevation and Denali models; 79.95 inches for AT4
• Overall width with mirrors: 87.87 inches
• Overall height with roof rails: 70.97 inches for Elevation, 72.03 inches for AT4, and 71.44 inches for Denali models
• Ground clearance: 6.77 inches for Elevation, 7.75 inches for AT4, and 7.30 inches for Denali models

The length supports useful cabin space, but shoppers should consider garage fit. AT4’s extra clearance helps on uneven access roads and maintained trails.

Exterior Highlights

• AutoSense hands-free programmable power liftgate across the lineup
• Heated, power-adjustable mirrors on every trim; power-folding mirrors on Denali models
• 18-inch aluminum wheels on Elevation and dark-machined 18-inch wheels on AT4

• Gloss-black roof rails and all-terrain tires on AT4
• Available panoramic sunroof on Elevation, AT4, and Denali; included on Denali Ultimate
• Available Black Edition for Elevation with black exterior accents and 22-inch gloss-black wheels

The hands-free liftgate simplifies loading, while trim-specific details create practical, adventurous, and premium appearances.

Exterior Paint Options

• Ink
• Glacier White Tricoat
• Summit White
• Ebony Twilight Metallic
• Riverstone Metallic
• Volcanic Red Tintcoat
• Trailstone Green Metallic
• Sterling Metallic

Ink is limited to Denali and Denali Ultimate, Riverstone Metallic is exclusive to AT4, and Trailstone Green Metallic is exclusive to Elevation. Several premium finishes carry an extra charge, so shoppers should confirm color availability on the exact vehicle.

Performance

Every 2027 Acadia uses a turbocharged 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine and a standard trailering package. That shared powertrain keeps output consistent while drivetrain and suspension choices let each trim serve a different type of buyer.

Engine and Powertrain

• 328 horsepower
• 326 lb-ft of torque
• Eight-speed automatic transmission

The torque output supports merging, passing, and carrying a full cabin. Shared output lets buyers focus on seating, capability, and comfort.

Transmission and Drivetrain

• Front-wheel drive or available all-wheel drive for Elevation, Denali, and Denali Ultimate
• Standard Active Torque Control AWD for AT4
• AWD Disconnect on all-wheel-drive configurations
• Traction Select System with up to six available drive modes
• Off-road-tuned suspension and lifted ride height for AT4
• StabiliTrak stability control with traction control

Front-wheel drive suits everyday use. Available AWD adds traction on wet or loose surfaces, while AT4 better supports maintained trails and recreation access.

Towing and Capability

• Maximum towing capacity: 5,000 pounds for every trim when properly equipped
• Standard Trailering Package with Class III hitch and seven-pin wiring harness
• Heavy-duty cooling system, Hitch View, and Hitch Guidance
• Suggested trailer tongue load: 10% to 15% of trailer weight

The rating can support many small boats, campers, and utility trailers. Passengers, cargo, options, and tongue weight reduce available capacity, so owners must follow all ratings.

Technology

The Acadia makes a large central screen and digital driver display standard instead of reserving them for upper trims. Its interface brings together navigation capability, entertainment, compatible phone functions, camera views, and vehicle settings.

Displays and Infotainment

• 15-inch diagonal Premium GMC Infotainment System
• Google built-in compatibility with navigation capability, connected apps, and natural voice recognition
• 11-inch diagonal Driver Information Center
• 12-speaker Bose® premium audio on Elevation, AT4, and Denali
• 16-speaker Bose® Performance audio on Denali Ultimate and available with the AT4 Reserve Package
• 8-inch Head-Up Display on Denali models and available on Elevation and AT4

The displays keep maps, media, and driving information visible, while upper trims add audio and windshield-display upgrades.

Connectivity and Convenience

• Wireless Apple CarPlay® and wireless Android Auto™ compatibility
• Wi-Fi hotspot capability
• USB connections in all three rows
• Up to 10 available camera views
• Rear Camera Mirror in Denali models and available on Elevation and AT4
• Super Cruise hands-free driver assistance standard on Denali and Denali Ultimate; available on Elevation and AT4

Charging access in every row helps manage devices. Cameras support parking and hitch alignment, while Super Cruise assists on compatible roads when the driver remains attentive.

Safety

The Acadia includes a broad set of standard active-safety and awareness features. These systems can help the driver monitor traffic, pedestrians, cyclists, lane position, and the area around the SUV, but they do not replace careful observation or control.

Driver-Assistance Technology

• Enhanced Automatic Emergency Braking and Forward Collision Alert
• Intersection Automatic Emergency Braking
• Front Pedestrian and Bicyclist Braking
• Side Bicyclist Alert and Rear Pedestrian Alert
• Blind Zone Steering Assist
• Rear Cross Traffic Braking and Reverse Automatic Braking
• Adaptive Cruise Control
• Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning on models not equipped with Super Cruise

This combination can support awareness during commutes, lane changes, backing maneuvers, and stops in busy areas. Feature operation depends on conditions, so drivers must remain prepared to brake or steer.

Parking, Visibility, and Vehicle Safety

• HD Surround Vision
• Rear Park Assist, replaced by Enhanced Automatic Parking Assist when the Super Cruise Package is equipped
• Safety Alert Seat
• IntelliBeam automatic high beams
• Tire Pressure Monitoring System with Tire Fill Alert
• Airbags for the first row and roof-rail-mounted coverage for outboard seating positions
• Teen Driver and Buckle to Drive

Surround-view imaging can make a large three-row SUV easier to position in a parking space, while Teen Driver and seat-belt reminders give households additional tools for shared-vehicle use.
