EXPERT REVIEW · THREE-ROW SUV

2026 GMC Acadia review

GMC Acadia: the family hauler that doesn't feel like one. Illustrative review

8.4/10 OffLot expert score

The 2026 GMC Acadia sits near the top of its class. Roomy second row and flexible cargo floor; ride stays composed on rough pavement. Engine gets loud under hard acceleration and price climbs fast with options, so test the trim you'd actually buy. Starting around $45,000, it lines up with most direct rivals.

Solid, with a few quirks

We cross-shopped three others and this won on cargo room. the touchscreen climate controls is the trade-off.

★★★★☆Carlos D. · Houston, TX · 7 months owned
Good, not perfect

Bought it for the school runs and road trips and it has handled everything so far. Fuel economy has been close to the sticker in mixed driving.

★★★★☆Priya H. · Austin, TX · 4 months owned
Good, not perfect

Twelve thousand miles in. Nothing has gone wrong, dealer service has been easy, and the cargo room still impresses passengers.
