GM Authority (opens in a new tab) says the 2020 Acadia receives a mid-cycle refresh to its exterior, interior and powertrain, with redesigned front and rear fascias with standard LED lighting and signature GMC C-shape lighting, and the eBoost brake system standard on models with the new 2.0-liter LSY engine. GMC SUV Models (opens in a new tab) adds the GM nine-speed automatic replacing the six-speed, a new turbocharged four-cylinder estimated at 230 horsepower and 258 lb-ft, and a new AT4 version.

Kelley Blue Book (opens in a new tab) puts used 2020 Acadias at $14,250 for the SL to $21,800 for the Denali at a dealership, and rates fuel economy at 18/25 to 21/27 mpg city and highway. EPA rates the 2020 Acadia at 21 to 24 mpg combined and $2,600 to $2,950 a year in fuel, with front- or all-wheel drive.

NHTSA lists six recall campaigns for the 2020 Acadia. 21V115000 and 20V684000 cover tires that were cured for too long during production, 20V639000 covers a fuel pump jet nozzle that may have a plastic burr and block the nozzle, 20V446000 covers a roof-rail air bag diffuser component across several GM models, 20V668000 covers a start-stop accumulator endcap that may have missing bolts, and 22V709000 covers rearview camera coaxial cable connectors crimped improperly.

Owners have filed 104 complaints with NHTSA: engine and electrical system with 28 each, power train with 22, steering with 18 and unknown or other with 14. ProblemsByVin (opens in a new tab) keeps a record for the year, and CarComplaints (opens in a new tab) tracks its problems by category.
