Record summary
What to know first
Every Acadia uses the same 328-horsepower 2.5L turbo engine; AT4 makes all-wheel drive standard for off-road use while Elevation and Denali keep it optional. Denali Ultimate joins as the range-topping trim for 2027, and Super Cruise becomes standard equipment on Denali.
Model-year note
Denali Ultimate is new for 2027 and sits above Denali, so Denali is no longer the top of the lineup. Super Cruise is now standard on Denali (previously optional) and is bundled with the new AT4 Reserve Package.
