What makes a great SUV? Space? Power? Tech? The 2025 GMC Acadia seems to check all the boxes, and then some. Nathan from The Fast Lane Car put it to the test, and let’s just say, he’s floored. His verdict? This SUV has no right to be this good. From its expanded dimensions to cutting-edge features and off-road chops, the Acadia is raising the bar in its class.
Bigger, Bolder, and Packed with Space
First up—size matters. The 2025 Acadia stretches over 10 inches longer than the previous generation, giving it an edge in space. Inside, you’ll find 98 cubic feet of cargo capacity. In other words, the Acadia can store just about anything. Road trip luggage? Check. Home improvement supplies? Check. A full soccer team’s gear? Double check.
But it’s not just about space—it’s about how you use it. GMC designed the Acadia to keep things functional and family-friendly. From its hands-free power liftgate (no need for a magic word, just walk up!) to its clever third-row seating, the Acadia is here to make your life easier.
Turbocharged Power That Delivers
Under the hood, you’ll find a 2.5L turbocharged inline-four engine. And while you might raise an eyebrow at a four-cylinder in an SUV of this size, don’t let the numbers fool you. It churns out an impressive 328 horsepower and 326 lb-ft of torque. Paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission, the Acadia delivers smooth shifts and enough oomph to tow up to 5,000 pounds.
Nathan had this to say about the engine: “It’s quiet, refined, and handles just about anything you throw at it.” Whether you’re cruising on the highway or hitting light off-road trails, this SUV feels capable. And speaking of off-road…
Adventure-Ready AT4 Trim
For those looking to leave the pavement behind, the AT4 trim is your go-to. Think of it as the Acadia’s rebellious sibling—it’s rugged, bold, and built to handle tougher terrain. Key highlights include:
- Mud-and-snow-rated Goodyear Wrangler tires.
- A 1.2-inch lift for better ground clearance.
- Red tow hooks, because you knowyou can’t off-road without them.
The AT4 isn’t a full-blown rock-crawler, but it’s ready for weekend trails or a sandy beach day. Nathan notes that even when the wheels lifted off the ground during testing, the Acadia handled it all with confidence.
High-Tech Meets Practicality
The 2025 Acadia is packed with tech to make every drive more enjoyable. At the center of it all? A massive touchscreen infotainment system that looks like it belongs in a luxury SUV. It’s intuitive, responsive, and loaded with features like Super Cruise, GMC’s semi-autonomous driving system.
Nathan demonstrated its prowess: hands-free highway cruising with automatic lane changes. It’s not just cool—it’s a game-changer for long drives. And the digital rearview mirror? A lifesaver when your cargo blocks your line of sight.
Inside, the Acadia strikes a balance between rugged and refined. From the AT4’s durable materials to the Denali’s luxury wood accents, there’s something for everyone. Plus, thoughtful touches like rear-seat climate controls, USB ports galore, and comfy captain’s chairs keep passengers as happy as the driver.
Fuel Economy and Pricing
Efficiency is solid for the Acadia’s size, with up to 25 MPG combined in all-wheel drive configurations. Sure, hybrid SUVs might edge it out in efficiency, but the Acadia makes up for it with versatility and power.
As for pricing, the lineup starts with the Elevation trim, climbs to the rugged AT4, and peaks with the premium Denali. The AT4’s standard all-wheel drive makes it a great choice for adventure-seekers, while the Denali pampers you with features like a panoramic sunroof and premium audio.
