2027 GMC Acadia: Trims, Pricing, and Family Capability Guide
The 2027 GMC Acadia is built for families and professionals who want a three-row SUV with real towing ability and a genuinely wide range of entry points. Every trim shares the same turbocharged 2.5L four-cylinder producing 328 hp and 326 lb.-ft. of torque through an 8-speed automatic transmission, and every trim tows up to 5,000 lbs. with the standard Trailering Package. The lineup runs from the Elevation at $45,595 MSRP to the Denali Ultimate at $67,395 MSRP with all-wheel drive.
Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) for new vehicles includes manufacturer and distributor options and delivery, process and handling fees, which may be subject to change at any time. MSRP excludes taxes, title, license and dealer installed options, accessories, fees and charges. MSRP is not the dealer advertised price. Dealer price will vary. The dealer sets the final price.
Maximum towing and payload capacity figures are based on properly equipped vehicles and vary by configuration. Do not exceed any weight rating. See your owner’s manual and the vehicle’s door-jamb label for specific capacities.

How the 2027 Acadia Fits Waxahachie Family Life
Seven or eight seats depending on trim, 23.00 cu. ft. of cargo behind the third row, and a 5,000-lb. tow rating on every configuration make the Acadia a versatile tool for families who do not want to choose between comfort and capability.
For families balancing school runs between Waxahachie and Midlothian, weekend trips out to Lake Bardwell, and the drive up to DeSoto or Arlington, the lineup offers a clear ladder. Elevation handles everyday family duty at the most accessible price. AT4 adds off-pavement confidence and all-terrain tires. Denali and Denali Ultimate bring luxury finishes and, new for 2027, standard Super Cruise hands-free driver assistance technology.
The standard equipment is substantial across the board: a 15″ diagonal Premium GMC Infotainment System, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a Bose premium audio system, tri-zone automatic climate control, HD Surround Vision, and OnStar connectivity. These are baseline features, which means even the entry Elevation is meaningfully equipped. You will find more model breakdowns like this one throughout our GMC research library.

Four Trims, Seven Ways to Configure Them
GMC builds the 2027 Acadia in four trims. Elevation, Denali, and Denali Ultimate are each available with front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive; AT4 is offered exclusively with all-wheel drive.
| Trim | Drivetrain | Starting MSRP* | Seating | Ground Clearance | Wheels |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Elevation | FWD or AWD | $45,595 FWD* / $47,595 AWD* | Up to 8 | 6.77″ | 18″ Grazen Metallic painted aluminum |
| AT4 | AWD only | $54,395* | Up to 7 | 7.75″ | 18″ dark machined aluminum, all-terrain tires |
| Denali | FWD or AWD | $60,895 FWD* / $62,895 AWD* | Up to 7 | 7.30″ | 20″ machined aluminum, Pearl Nickel finish |
| Denali Ultimate | FWD or AWD | $65,395 FWD* / $67,395 AWD* | Up to 7 | 7.30″ | 22″ machined aluminum, After Midnight Metallic |

Trim-level differentiation is visible at a glance. Elevation wears the signature GMC grille and 18″ Grazen Metallic painted aluminum wheels, with After Dark cloth seats or available CoreTec seating material. AT4 adds exclusive Night Rider chrome accents, gloss-black roof rails, a lifted ride height, red recovery hooks, steel skid plates, and 18″ dark machined aluminum wheels wrapped in all-terrain tires, plus an AT4-exclusive Forest Storm interior with Mahogany accents.
Denali steps up to a unique grille with Galvano Silver accents, 20″ machined aluminum wheels in a Pearl Nickel finish, leather-appointed first- and second-row seats, heated and ventilated front seats, and a configurable 8″ diagonal Head-Up Display. Denali Ultimate goes further with a Vader Chrome grille and badging, 22″ machined aluminum wheels in After Midnight Metallic, heated and ventilated Woodland Mahogany full-leather massaging front seats, full-leather second-row seats, and a standard panoramic sunroof.
Power and Towing Capability
Every 2027 Acadia shares the same powertrain: a turbocharged 2.5L four-cylinder producing 328 hp and 326 lb.-ft. of torque, routed through an 8-speed automatic. AT4 uses an Active Torque Control AWD system with an off-road-tuned suspension and a lifted ride height. Across the lineup, the Traction Select System offers up to six distinct drive modes so the vehicle can be tailored to conditions.
Towing is a uniform 5,000 lbs. across all four trims with the standard Trailering Package, which is enough for a modest fishing boat headed to Lake Bardwell, about ten miles southeast of Waxahachie, where the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers operates three campgrounds and one day-use park with public boat ramps. AT4 is the best-equipped trim for mixed surfaces thanks to its all-terrain tires, 7.75″ ground clearance, and steel skid plates.

Interior Space and Cargo Flexibility
The Acadia’s cabin is generous by midsize SUV standards, with 42.60″ of maximum front headroom and 44.28″ of front legroom. Elevation seats up to eight passengers; AT4, Denali, and Denali Ultimate seat up to seven using second-row captain’s chairs that add center-aisle access.
Cargo runs 23.00 cu. ft. behind the third row, 57.30 cu. ft. behind the second row, and 97.51 cu. ft. maximum behind the first row with the rear seats folded. That flexibility matters when you are hauling sports gear, festival supplies from the Scarborough Renaissance Festival grounds just southwest of downtown, or a full grocery run without giving up all your passenger space.
Material quality climbs steadily up the ladder, from Elevation’s After Dark cloth to AT4’s Forest Storm and Mahogany scheme to the leather-appointed Denali cabin and Denali Ultimate’s full-leather Woodland Mahogany treatment. Tri-zone automatic climate control with rear controls and a wireless charging pad are standard across the lineup.
Technology and Connectivity
The 2027 Acadia pairs an 11″ diagonal Driver Information Center with a 15″ diagonal Premium GMC Infotainment System, a vertical touchscreen that keeps navigation, audio, and vehicle controls within reach without cluttering the dash.
Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard on every trim. The system also includes Google built-in, Google Gemini, and Voice Assistant, so calls, music, apps, and directions can be handled hands-free. Bluetooth, a wireless charging pad, and USB charging ports front and rear are standard, and the Bose audio system starts at 12 speakers, with a 16-speaker Bose Performance Series setup standard on Denali Ultimate.
Connected services come through OnStar. OnStar Basics, which covers automatic crash response, remote commands, and navigation and voice assistance, is included for eight years on new 2025 and newer model year GM vehicles. Denali and Denali Ultimate add a three-year OnStar One plan bundled with Super Cruise.
Safety or driver assistance features are no substitute for the driver’s responsibility to operate the vehicle in a safe manner. The driver should remain attentive to traffic, surroundings and road conditions at all times. Visibility, weather and road conditions may affect feature performance. Read the vehicle Owner’s Manual for more important feature limitations and information.
Super Cruise Is Now Standard on Denali
The biggest change for 2027 is that Super Cruise hands-free driver assistance technology is standard on both Denali and Denali Ultimate, and available on Elevation and AT4. GMC made the Super Cruise Package standard on the 2027 Denali, adding roughly $3,000 of content compared with the 2026 Denali, where the same package was an extra-cost option.
Super Cruise works with OnStar and uses precision LiDAR map data alongside real-time cameras, sensors, and GPS to keep the vehicle centered in its lane on over 600,000 miles of compatible roads. Adaptive Cruise Control must be active for Super Cruise to engage, and with Turn Signal Activated Lane Change the driver can prompt the system to change lanes. A Driver Attention System monitors head and eye position throughout. It is a driver assistance system, not an autonomous driving system, and it requires driver attention at all times.
Super Cruise-equipped vehicles include three years of connectivity to support the feature; after that period, a Super Cruise plan must be purchased to continue using it.

Safety and Driver Assistance Features
Active safety content is standard across all four trims. Enhanced Automatic Emergency Braking works with Forward Collision Alert to help avoid or reduce the severity of a collision with a detected vehicle ahead, including at highway speeds. Front Pedestrian and Bicyclist Braking operates between 5 and 50 mph. Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning applies a brief steering correction when the vehicle drifts from its lane. Blind Zone Steering Assist can provide a firm steering input when a potential collision is detected in the lane you are entering, and Rear Cross Traffic Braking watches for approaching traffic when reversing.
GMC equips every 2027 Acadia trim with the following standard safety and driver assistance technologies:
- Enhanced Automatic Emergency Braking
- Blind Zone Steering Assist
- Forward Collision Alert
- HD Surround Vision
- Following Distance Indicator
- Front Pedestrian and Bicyclist Braking

- Intersection Automatic Emergency Braking
- Rear Pedestrian Alert
- Adaptive Cruise Control
- Side Bicyclist Alert
- Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning
- Reverse Automatic Braking
- Traffic Sign Recognition
- Teen Driver
- Rear Camera Mirror
The parking and visibility suite is thorough: HD Surround Vision provides a 360-degree camera view and Rear Park Assist covers the rear. Denali Ultimate adds Enhanced Automatic Parking Assist and Driver Attention Assist.

2027 GMC Acadia Pricing by Trim
The lineup spans from the Elevation FWD at $45,595 MSRP to the Denali Ultimate AWD at $67,395 MSRP. All-wheel drive adds $2,000 on the trims that offer it.
Elevation is the most accessible entry point, and the AWD premium is modest relative to the traction benefit. AT4 at $54,395 MSRP occupies a distinct position as the only trim with all-terrain tires, skid plates, and the higher 7.75″ ground clearance. Denali at $60,895 MSRP front-wheel drive and $62,895 MSRP all-wheel drive now includes standard Super Cruise alongside leather-appointed seating, heated and ventilated front seats, and the Head-Up Display. Denali Ultimate at $65,395 MSRP front-wheel drive and $67,395 MSRP all-wheel drive builds on that with the panoramic sunroof, 16-speaker Bose Performance Series audio, massaging front seats, and 22″ wheels.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which 2027 Acadia trim is the best value for a Waxahachie family on a budget?

If all-wheel drive matters for wet-weather confidence, Elevation AWD adds it for $2,000 more at $47,595 MSRP. Both carry the same 5,000-lb. tow rating.
