All New 2025 GMC Acadia
GMC has taken the beloved Acadia SUV and given it a complete overhaul for the 2025 model year. Bigger, more powerful, and packed with cutting-edge technology, the newly redesigned 2025 GMC Acadia is a significant leap forward from its predecessor. Whether you’re looking for more space, enhanced performance, or advanced safety features, the new Acadia delivers on all fronts. Let’s dive into the key differences between the 2025 Acadia and the outgoing model.
Bigger and Bolder: Size and Design Updates
One of the most noticeable changes to the 2025 GMC Acadia is its size. The new model is longer, wider, and taller than the previous version, offering more interior space for passengers and cargo. The 2025 Acadia grows by over 10 inches in length, making it more comparable to full-size SUVs like the Chevrolet Traverse. This increase in size results in a roomier third-row seat, a significant improvement for families who need extra passenger space.
Additionally, the exterior design has been modernized with a more rugged, truck-like appearance. The bold new grille, signature C-shaped LED lighting, and muscular stance give the Acadia a commanding presence on the road. The AT4 trim continues to cater to adventure seekers with off-road enhancements, while the Denali trim maintains its premium appeal with distinctive chrome accents and luxury materials.
Performance Upgrades: A More Powerful Turbocharged Engine
Gone is the naturally aspirated V6 engine found in the previous Acadia. Instead, GMC has introduced a 2.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine, producing 328 horsepower and 326 lb-ft of torque. This is a significant increase in power compared to the outgoing model’s 3.6-liter V6, which offered 310 horsepower. The turbocharged setup also provides improved fuel efficiency, making the new Acadia both more powerful and more efficient than before.
Paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission and available twin-clutch all-wheel drive, the 2025 Acadia is ready for various road conditions. The AT4 trim comes equipped with off-road-tuned suspension and additional drive modes, making it a strong choice for drivers looking for adventure beyond the pavement.
High-Tech Interior: A Giant Infotainment Upgrade
One of the most impressive updates to the 2025 GMC Acadia is its tech-loaded interior. The most striking feature is the massive 15-inch portrait-oriented touchscreen, replacing the smaller infotainment screen in the previous model. This new system integrates Google Built-In, offering Google Maps, Google Assistant, and Google Play right from the dashboard.
Other tech enhancements include:
- A 11-inch digital driver display for a more modern driving experience
- Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto for seamless smartphone connectivity
- Bose premium audio system (available on higher trims) for an enhanced listening experience
- New driver assistance technology, including an improved Super Cruise hands-free driving system on select models
With these updates, the 2025 Acadia provides a more connected and user-friendly driving experience than ever before.
Advanced Safety and Convenience Features
Safety is always a priority for GMC, and the 2025 Acadia introduces a host of new driver assistance features. GMC Pro Safety Plus comes standard on all trims and includes:
- Automatic Emergency Braking
- Forward Collision Alert
- Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning
- Adaptive Cruise Control
- Blind Zone Steering Assist
- Enhanced Parking Assist
The new Super Cruise system, available on higher trims, allows for hands-free driving on mapped highways, making long road trips more relaxing and convenient.
