Redesigned for 2024, the GMC Acadia grew in size to be more comparable with the Chevrolet Traverse with which it shares an underlying platform. After such a major overhaul, there are few changes with the three-row SUV for 2025. The entry-level Elevation trim now seats eight with a standard second-row bench seat (versus the previously standard seven with captain’s chairs) although a new Elevation Premium Package reverts that trim back to second-row captain’s chairs and adds a power-adjustable front passenger seat, 20-inch wheels and synthetic leather upholstery for $2,535.
The 2025 GMC Acadia is on sale now. Its base price creeps up just $300, while the off-road-oriented AT4 trim level jumps $1,200 and the range-topping Denali is now $400 cheaper. Pricing (including $1,395 destination fee) is as follows:
Elevation: $44,295
AT4: $52,595
Denali: $55,295
