The GMC Acadia is a sophisticated three-row SUV that perfectly marries family-friendly cargo and passenger capacity with adventure-ready capabilities. It’s perfect for large families who need a cabin that’s packed with convenience and comfort features for long drives, but that also boasts nearly truck-like powers for more trailering and more exploring potential. If you’re looking for a GMC dealer near Lynchburg who knows all about what GMC has in store for its customers with the newest rendition of the Acadia, we hope you’ll visit us. We’ve taken all the trims for test drives, looked under the hood, enjoyed the cabin, and examined all the upgrades ourselves. We’re ready to introduce you to this terrific new model year.

We understand that when a new model comes out, many drivers are torn between sticking with the previous one or making the jump to the most current. The 2024 GMC Acadia did receive quite a few upgrades, so it is noticeably different from the 2023 model. The best way we can describe the improvements is this: it’s more of what you already loved. And who doesn’t love that? So if you’re wondering what’s new about the 2024 GMC Acadia, we’re here to give you the breakdown and inform your buying process.

Larger Dimensions, Inside and Out

The 2024 GMC Acadia boasts an even bolder stance than before. This current model has a wheelbase that is 8.4 in longer than the previous one and is 3.2 in taller. The result is a noticeably more spacious cabin that’s ready to comfortably accommodate tall passengers. Hop in any row of seating, and you’ll notice that the front-row passenger gets more legroom than ever before, and second-row passengers won’t feel cramped.

One of the most practical perks of this size increase is a larger cargo volume. The trunk space has increased by nearly 24 percent compared to the 2023 model. It’s ready to meet serious cargo demands. So if your trips to wholesale stores get out of hand or you can’t resist a cute side table you see at a yard sale, the 2024 Acadia should be able to transport your goods with little issue. Put the second and third rows down, and you get almost 80 sq.ft. of cargo capacity.

If your life just calls for extra cargo space, like four four-legged friends, several science projects, or tons of sports gear, you’ll be really impressed with the trunk space and cargo configurations of the 2024 GMC Acadia. If you feel like your kids are just starting to outgrow the previous generation, but you still love the model, the 2024 Acadia’s size increases have arrived just in time. Stick to the model you love, with more space for your loved ones.

Technology Upgrades

GMC has been on a mission in recent years to rise above the competition regarding technology. It reaches and exceeds that goal with the 2024 Acadia.

A stand-out feature that we enjoy showing to customers is the portrait-oriented 15-inch diagonal infotainment screen. This huge, beautiful screen gives you crystal-clear graphics for navigation, playlists, weather reports, and more. It’s like having a tablet at your fingertips in your SUV. Drivers can also now enjoy products from their favorite search engine in the Acadia because the 2024 model is compatible with built-in Google technology. If Google is your go-to system for getting answers to burning questions, listening to music, enjoying podcasts, getting the traffic report, and more, you can do it all now in your vehicle. Plus, it has built-in navigation.

A standard 11-inch diagonal driver information center adds to this stunning technology layout. Here, you’ll see important information about your journey and your vehicle. To raise your safety and convenience to another level, an available eight-inch configurable head-up display can display pertinent driving information on the windshield, so you don’t have to take your eyes off the road.

Performance Upgrades

GMC continues to deliver on its promise of a vehicle that’s both family-friendly and rugged with the 2024 Acadia. It beefed up the off-road trim—the AT4—with a lifted ride height for better ground clearance and visibility on rough roads. It also gets an active torque control all-wheel drive system, which sends power to the rear wheels when accelerating through corners and turns to help drivers maintain control, with improved hydraulic rebound control.

You’ll find a new standard engine under the hood of all 2024 trims. It’s a 2.5L four-cylinder turbocharged engine that boosts trailering capabilities. When adequately configured, this powertrain brings the Acadia’s trailering capabilities up to 5,000 lbs. This engine is paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission.

The 2023 Acadia got an EPA mileage rating of 22 MPG in the city and 29 MPG on the highway, with a combined rating of 25 MPG. With its new, more efficient engine, the 2024 model should do better than that.

The Acadia has an available hands-free driver-assist system, Super Cruise, on this 2024 model. This semi-autonomous system can handle braking and accelerating for you while obeying driver-input space-gap demands. If you tackle long highway drives on a regular basis, you’ll enjoy taking a little break from switching between the gas and brake pedals. What’s especially exciting about this year’s Acadia is that it brings the Super Cruise system to the manufacturer’s Premium and Elevation trims for the first time. It was previously only available on the Denali trim.

Starting MSRP

GMC has not yet revealed the starting price for the 2024 GMC Acadia. Experts predict it will come in at just below $40,000, making it a few thousand dollars pricier than the 2023 model. However, given the tremendous size increase and technology upgrades, we’d say the price increase—if it turns out to be true—would be more than justified. We anticipate the prices of each trim to go up in similar increments as in previous years.
