The Acadia is the SUV for those who crave space and tech but can overlook a few rough edges.
Super Cruise hands-free driving · Roomy third-row seating
Engine noise under hard acceleration · No second-row bench option
The 2026 GMC Acadia is a spacious three-row SUV that knows how to pamper its passengers with high-tech features and a roomier-than-most third row. While it impresses with its Super Cruise capability and a comfortable ride, the engine noise under heavy acceleration is a bit unrefined, reminding you that it's not all glitz and glam. We were pleasantly surprised by the sheer amount of cargo it can swallow, even with all seats up. It's not the most athletic in the segment, but it makes up for that with its luxurious Denali trim and rugged AT4 option. If you're shopping for a family hauler with a strong tech suite and don't mind a slightly gritty engine note, the Acadia deserves a spot on your shortlist.
Our pick: AT4 AWD ($54,195)
vs. 2026 Toyota Highlander: While the Highlander offers a quieter engine and better resale value, the Acadia wins with its roomier interior and advanced tech options like Super Cruise.
