Shea Buick GMC in Flint is your premier destination for the GMC Acadia, and we're thrilled to showcase the differences between the 2025 and 2026 models. As a versatile midsize SUV, the GMC Acadia has long been a favorite among drivers seeking style, capability, and advanced features.
Exterior Enhancements
One of the most striking differences between the 2025 and 2026 GMC Acadia is the exterior design. The 2026 GMC Acadia boasts a bold new look that commands attention on the streets of Fenton. Its larger, more prominent grille features intricate detailing and is flanked by sleek, C-shaped LED signature lighting. The sculpted hood and chiseled body lines create a muscular, athletic stance.
In contrast, the 2025 GMC Acadia has a more streamlined appearance, with a smaller grille and smoother body contours. It still exudes an air of refinement, but the 2026 model takes the design to the next level. Both model years offer convenience features like a hands-free power liftgate and roof rails for added versatility.
Interior Innovations
The centerpiece of the 2026 GMC Acadia is the new 11-inch diagonal center touchscreen display, which provides intuitive access to infotainment, navigation, and vehicle settings. This is a significant increase from the 8-inch screen found in the 2025 GMC Acadia. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility come standard, ensuring seamless smartphone integration.
Another notable addition to the 2026 GMC Acadia is the available 12.3-inch digital driver information center. This customizable display puts critical driving data right in your line of sight, enhancing your command of the vehicle. The 2025 GMC Acadia features traditional analog gauges with a smaller driver information screen.
Both the 2025 and 2026 GMC Acadia offer spacious and versatile interiors that cater to the needs of Lapeer families. With Smart Slide second-row seats and up to 79 cubic feet of cargo space, you can easily adapt the cabin to accommodate passengers and gear. Premium materials, available leather seating surfaces, and thoughtful amenities create a refined atmosphere in both model years.
Performance Prowess
The 2025 and 2026 GMC Acadia share similar powertrain options. The standard 2-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine delivers a spirited 228 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, providing responsive acceleration and efficient performance. Paired with a smooth-shifting 9-speed automatic transmission, this engine strikes a balance between power and fuel economy.
For Metro Detroit drivers seeking even more capability, the available 3.6-liter V6 engine is a compelling choice. With an impressive 310 horsepower and 271 pound-feet of torque, this engine enables the GMC Acadia to tow up to 4,000 pounds. Whether you're hauling a boat to the lake or a trailer full of gear, the V6-powered GMC Acadia is up to the task.
Both the 2025 and 2026 GMC Acadia offer an advanced all-wheel drive system with active torque control. This intelligent system optimizes traction and stability in various driving conditions, giving you added confidence behind the wheel. Whether you're navigating snowy roads in Clarkston or tackling a gravel path in Davison, the AWD system provides surefooted performance.
Comprehensive Safety Suite
The 2025 and 2026 GMC Acadia models come equipped with a comprehensive array of driver assistance technologies. Standard features on both model years include automatic emergency braking, lane keep assist with lane departure warning, forward collision alert, front pedestrian braking, and IntelliBeam auto high beams.
The 2026 GMC Acadia takes safety to the next level with the introduction of the GMC Pro Safety Plus package. This advanced suite includes additional features like rear cross traffic braking, which can detect and automatically brake for crossing vehicles when reversing. Lane change alert with side blind zone alert provides visual and audible warnings when a vehicle is in your blind spot, helping you make safer lane changes.
Another noteworthy addition to the 2026 GMC Acadia is the enhanced automatic parking assist feature. This system uses cameras and sensors to guide the vehicle into parallel or perpendicular parking spaces, reducing the stress of maneuvering in tight quarters.
Trim Levels and Packages
Both the 2025 and 2026 GMC Acadia offer a range of trim levels and optional packages to suit your preferences and budget. The entry-level SLE trim comes well-equipped with features like keyless entry, a touchscreen infotainment system, and tri-zone automatic climate control. The SLT trim adds premium amenities like leather-appointed seating, heated front seats, and a power liftgate.
For those seeking the ultimate in luxury and refinement, the Denali trim stands out. It features exclusive design elements like a signature grille, 20-inch wheels, and distinct interior appointments. The Denali trim also includes advanced technologies like a head-up display, navigation, and a Bose premium sound system.
In addition to the trim levels, both the 2025 and 2026 GMC Acadia offer various packages to enhance your driving experience.
