Here’s When 2023 GMC Acadia Production Will Start

The 2023 GMC Acadia is offered as the seventh model year of the second-generation crossover nameplate, introducing a few changes and updates before the debut of the third-gen Acadia for the 2024 model year. Now, GM Authority has learned when the start of regular production will begin for the 2023 GMC Acadia.

According to GM Authority sources, the start of regular production for the 2023 GMC Acadia is slated to kick off on June 10th, 2022. Production will once again take place at the GM Spring Hill plant in Tennessee.

As GM Authority covered previously, the 2023 GMC Acadia introduces a revised list of exterior paint options, deleting Satin Steel Metallic (paint code G9K), Midnight Blue Metallic (paint code GLU), and Cayenne Red Tintcoat (paint code GSK) from the lineup. In their stead, the 2023 model year adds three new hues, including Volcanic Red Tintcoat (paint ode GNT), Ultra Blue Metallic (GTR), and Sterling Metallic (GXD). Each of the three new paint options will be offered across the trim level lineup, available for an extra $495.

As GM Authority covered previously, GM is currently considering offering a next-gen GMC Acadia turbo for the 2024 model year with the turbocharged 2.7L I4 L3B gasoline engine.

For now, however, the 2023 GMC Acadia is available with two engine options, starting with the turbocharged 2.0L I4 LSY gasoline engine, rated at 228 horsepower at 5,000 rpm and 258 pound-feet of torque at 1,500 rpm. Customers can also select the naturally aspirated 3.6L V6 LGX gasoline engine, rated at 310 horsepower at 6,600 rpm and 271 pound-feet of torque. Both engines connect to the GM nine-speed automatic transmission.

To note, the atmospheric 2.5L I4 LCV gasoline engine, which is rated at 193 horsepower at 6,300 rpm and 188 pound-feet of torque at 4,400 rpm, was deleted for the 2022 model year.

Under the skin, the GMC Acadia rides the GM C1 platform.

  1. At least gm offers 2 engine choice in the GMC Acadia which only makes sense but I’m the the terrain u stuck with one engine choice the 1.5 tiny engine that will probably start consuming oil after 60-70000 miles the 2.0 l LSY should of been introduced in the terrain then it would make a nice all around c u v the Acadia is a nice size vehicle for a family but when u need a small cuv and you are a single Acadia just little over kill but it is a nice vehicle

    1. I bought the 2022 GMC Acadia Denali AWD with the 3.6 V6 and love it… I was determined to get Satin Steel Metallic and found one online searching through GM dealers’ inventory. If you are looking, this is NOT the time to be dealer loyal but to spec out your vehicle online and search the dealers. It took me a week & a half from the start of the search to having this vehicle sitting in our driveway.

  3. I’m struggling to understand GM’s strategy. GM has a stable of horses dominating large SUV sales with the Escalade/Tahoe/Suburban/Yukon variants. Instead of expanding those designs, we get the XT4, XT5, XT6, Acadia, and Terrain. I understand the desire to share platforms to reduce costs. The question is, why is GM sharing FWD platforms that lead to uninspiring design and performance. Why not build a RWD/AWD platform for Cadillac, share that platform with GMC, and split the 4 nameplates into two paths. GM could have FWD vehicles in the Chevrolet and Buick (standard to upscale) with the exception of the Silverado. GM could then have RWD/AWD vehicles in the GMC and Cadillac. Electric might be the future, but this would help GM pay the bills for the next 10 years with money to spare.
