The 2024 GMC Acadia is all about threes. A new third generation, three rows of seating, and three trim levels to choose from.

But the numbers only get more impressive. The new Acadia has bounced back from last gen’s downsizing, now riding on 120.9 inches of wheelbase, carrying nearly 17-feet of length. That means more cargo space, now 23 cubic-feet behind the third row and up to 97.5 cubes behind the first row, increases of 80- and over 20-percent respectively. And up front, all Acadias come equipped with a 15-inch infotainment screen and 11-inch digital instrument panel.

Abundant with improvements, we were off to South Carolina to feel out the new Acadia for ourselves.

BEN DAVIS: “My first impression of the 2024 Acadia is that it’s enormous inside. The dash is lower than the hood and it gives an incredible forward visibility. Also, compared to the outgoing model it’s almost 11 inches longer and a little over 3 inches taller, and that translates into an enormous family hauling machine, even though the target demographic isn’t a family hauler it makes a great one.”

And that’s not just because of the space. The new 2.5-liter turbo-four makes moving a breeze. At 328 horsepower and 326 lb-ft of torque, it’s stronger than the outgoing V6, and the eight-speed automatic provides smooth delivery to the front wheels or all-wheel drive if equipped.

The 2024 GMC Acadia starts just under $44,000 with delivery; the all-wheel-drive-only AT4 starts just over $50,000, while the Denali reaches just over $55K. They’re available on dealer lots now, and ready for your next adventure.
