The 2024 GMC Acadia is headed down the pipeline, and now, GM Authority has exclusively learned when production of the 2024 GMC Acadia will begin.
According to sources familiar with the matter, the start of regular production (SORP) for the 2024 GMC Acadia is scheduled to begin in January of the 2024 calendar year. This late production start date likely indicates that the 2024 GMC Acadia will debut the nameplate’s next generation. Production will take place alongside the Chevy Traverse and Buick Enclave at the GM Lansing Delta Township plant in Michigan.
For those readers who may have missed it, General Motors recently confirmed that the next-gen GMC Acadia will grow in terms of exterior and interior dimensions, corroborating an earlier GM Authority exclusive published in August of 2020. As covered previously, the new third-gen GMC Acadia will debut as a full-size model, rather than as a mid-sizer like the current second-generation Acadia. The larger dimensions will return the Acadia nameplate to its roots, as the first-gen model launched in 2007 as a full-size, three-row crossover, and the subsequent second-generation Acadia downsized the nameplate to a mid-size model for the 2017 model year.
In addition to new dimensions and a new segment, the next-generation GMC Acadia is also expected to unveil new styling and an overhauled interior, while under the skin, the crossover will likely ride on a modified version of the GM C1 platform dubbed C1-2. Further updates will include the addition of GM Super Cruise, the automaker’s semi-autonomous driver assist system.
As for the engine specs, the next-generation GMC Acadia may offer several different engine configurations, including the turbocharged 2.0L I4 LSY gasoline engine, the naturally aspirated 3.6L V6 LGX gasoline engine, or possibly the turbocharged 2.7L I4 L3B gasoline engine. The turbocharged 2.7L I4 L3B is particularly notable, as the four-banger’s relatively high power and torque outputs may make it a viable replacement for the atmospheric 3.6L V6 LGX.
We’ll keep an eye on this and report and further updates. In the meantime, remember to subscribe to GM Authority for more GMC Acadia news, GMC news, GM production news, GM business news, and around-the-clock GM news coverage.

Has GM ever fixed the problems with the 3.6 V6 engine? They had timing chain/gear issues . They had quite a few people writing not so nice things about these engines after this engine replaced the 3.8 engine that most technicians call “bullet-proof”.
The 3.6L is a great engine. I have two of them and they are very reliable.
I’ve owned 5 Bonnevilles, all with the 3800, and can attest to its being a bulletproof motor. Since then our family have owned an Acadia, Impala, Terrain, and Canyon all with the 3.6 engine, and it has been similarly bulletproof, but more powerful than the old 3.8l. With it, my full sized Impala does a 0-60 in 6 seconds, and gets 30 mpg on the highway. No complaints. Even the Canyon felt pretty lively.
It was totally redesigned in 2016-17. No chain issues and no carbon isdues with a new vapor system.
Yeah they’ve had that sorted for several years, depending on model. There are a lot of versions of that motor so it’s confusion as to when it’s solved depending on model.
Impala, Traverse, Acadia, Colorado – it’s been solid for 5-6 years. Maybe longer.
Let me guess, made in China..
They are actually made in the USA.
Made in Michigan.
I guess you missed this in the article: “Production will take place alongside the Chevy Traverse and Buick Enclave at the GM Lansing Delta Township plant in Michigan.”
You’re welcome…..
I always thought it was a bad move by GM to downsize the Acadia, and always wondered why it took them SO long to produce a Cadillac version, but I guess the Escalade was just too profitable for their greed. I have no problem with electric vehicles either, BUT what I don’t like is the government stepping in and FORCING automakers to produce EVs and buyers to buy them. When I’m ready to buy an EV, I’ll buy one. I’ve been waiting for GM to reintroduce the Acadia in its original size … be nice if they’d give it a diesel engine option too.
Since when is the government forcing automakers to produce or consumers to buy EV’s?
Maybe “forcing” is too harsh a word … right now, but when the government has a deadline of 2030 for certain things, and is providing tax-payer funded incentives for EV production/purchase, and automakers are setting dates in a similar fashion to STOP producing fossil fueled vehicles and build only EVs, then yes, we’re somewhat being forced into purchasing them. California has already set a date to stop selling fossil fueled vehicles there, and the government has already adopted some of their ideology. They will force it even further by stopping the refining of fossil fuels, so it will be far too expensive for people to keep their ICE cars, so what once would have been a collectible, will soon become worthless when there is no fuel to purchase, or the fuel becomes too costly to keep the collectible car running at all.
Fossil fuels may become scarce and expensive- but I doubt we’ll ever stop refining crude oil. Industry, if not Transportation, need the lubricants and plastics that are also derived from it. I think there will be a healthy market for fossil fuels around the world for a very long time. Heck, every military organization on the planet relies on fossil fuels, so unless you expect world peace to break out, fossil fuels will be around.
Nobody is forcing anyone to do anything, except may in CA. ICE vehicles will be around for years. Heck yes, the Escalade (and Suburban & Tahoe) are profitable- along with pickup trucks, giving GM a reason to exist. Yes, restoring the Acadia to full size was a good decision- I’ve even heard rumors of a turbo V6!
As if they will produce enough to satisfy our Canadian market. GM is an Embarrassment!!
Why go to Full-Size??…………….Yukon is full size. Duplication for sure.
