Yes — the current generation GMC Acadia was completely redesigned on an all-new platform beginning with model year 2024 and continues into 2026 with additional refinements. The redesigned Acadia is significantly larger than the previous generation with a longer wheelbase, increased interior volume, a dramatically upgraded technology suite including a 15" diagonal infotainment screen, a more powerful turbocharged engine, and meaningful third-row space for adult passengers.

The 2026 GMC Acadia seats up to 8 passengers across three rows when equipped with the available second-row bench seat. Standard configurations offer captain's chairs in the second row for a 7-passenger layout. The redesigned third row has been specifically engineered to provide meaningful space for adult passengers — not just children — making the Acadia a genuine 3-row family hauler.

The 2026 GMC Acadia is powered by a turbocharged 2.5L 4-cylinder engine producing 328 horsepower and 326 lb-ft of torque. This single engine option is paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission. Available in front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive configurations, the turbocharged engine provides strong, confident power delivery ideal for highway merging, family hauling, and occasional towing up to 5,000 lbs.

The 2026 GMC Acadia AT4 is built for active families who venture beyond the pavement. The AT4 features a raised ride height compared to standard Acadia trims, Goodyear all-terrain tires designed for mixed surface use, Hill Descent Control for managing steep grades, a dedicated Off-Road drive mode, and available AWD with a rear locking differential. It's well-suited for gravel roads, light trails, and unpaved camping access routes commonly found throughout South Carolina and the Southeast.

Every 2026 GMC Acadia comes standard with 19 or more active safety and driver assistance features at no additional charge. Standard safety technology includes Forward Collision Alert, Automatic Emergency Braking, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, Following Distance Indicator, Rear Park Assist, and Rear Vision Camera. Available safety upgrades on higher trims include Adaptive Cruise Control, Blind Zone Alert with Lane Change Alert, and the Surround Vision multi-camera system.

The 2026 GMC Acadia Denali and Denali Ultimate feature a 15-inch diagonal GMC Infotainment 3 touchscreen — one of the largest in the three-row SUV segment. The display features crisp resolution, Google Maps with real-time traffic, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, over-the-air update capability, and GMC's latest intuitive user interface with customizable quick-access shortcuts for the features you use most.

Yes — Super Cruise hands-free driver-assistance technology is available on the 2026 GMC Acadia Denali Ultimate trim. Super Cruise allows true hands-free driving on more than 400,000 miles of compatible limited-access highways in the US and Canada. The system uses a combination of LiDAR map data, precise GPS, forward-facing cameras, and radar — plus a Driver Attention System to ensure the driver remains attentive.
