The 2023 North American International Auto Show, better known as the 2023 Detroit Auto Show, is just around the corner, and GMC will be there to show off a few of its latest products. Interestingly, GMC will hold a press conference on Wednesday, September 13th on the main show floor, which leads us to ask – what does GMC have in store? Could it be the overhauled 2024 GMC Acadia?
Logically speaking, the 2024 GMC Acadia would certainly make the most sense as the forthcoming debut. Set to introduce an all-new third generation, the 2024 GMC Acadia will usher in a wealth of updates and changes over the preceding 2023 model year, including larger exterior dimensions which return the Acadia to the full-size segment. As a reminder, the first-generation GMC Acadia launched for the 2007 model year as a full-size three-row crossover, while the second generation launched a decade later as a midsize model. The overhauled 2024 GMC Acadia will obviously incorporate all-new styling as well.
Moving inside, we expect the next-gen 2024 GMC Acadia to feature an overhauled interior with additional space and improved ergonomics, plus a wealth of high-end tech features, including the GM Super Cruise semi-autonomous driver assist system.
Motivation will be sourced from the turbocharged 2.5L I4 LK0 gasoline engine, as GM Authority exclusively reported previously. Output should be around 315 horsepower and 317 pound-feet of torque, all of which will be directed through the GM eight-speed automatic transmission. The long-wheelbase variant of the GM C1 platform will provide the underpinnings.
The GMC press conference at the 2023 Detroit Auto Show will take place on Wednesday, September 13th at 10:25 a.m. at the GMC exhibit on the main show floor. Public attendance opens up Saturday, September 16th, and runs through Sunday, September 24th. Tickets are on sale now at the Detroit Auto Show website, and cost $20 for adults, $12 for seniors, and $10 for kids.

I’m very excited to see what the new Acadia has to offer. The new Traverse Z71 looks awesome, so I’m curious to see what GMC brings to the table, especially with the Acadia AT4.
Not sure! but I didn’t see a V6 offering, if so i’m out.
Want to see all the ratings with new powertrain. Increase fuel economy will be nice. Hopefully 26 MPG combine.
The 2024 GMC Acadia is no longer available with the 3.6L V6 engine. The 2024 model is larger and heavier than its predecessor, and is now in the class of full size SUV. It is only available with a 2.5L I4 turbo engine.
I am not a fan of putting a four-cylinder turbo in a full size SUV. If that’s the only engine option then I’m not interested in purchasing a new one. I will keep mine with the 3.6L engine a few more years.
When GM doesn’t offer their customers options it makes the option to purchase elsewhere that much easier.
I agree that the 3.6L LGX mated with the 9spd in the current Acadia is a terrific powertrain (I own one), but some of these turbo motors offer terrific low end torque as well as silky smooth power delivery.
Furthermore, the new turbo 4 cylinder will have more power and torque than the outgoing LGX.
When you say “full size” do you mean that this will now be replacing or competing against the Yukon and coming in with a similar price point of $60k+?
Why does GM need another full size SUV?? In 2024 we lose a mid-size 3-seater in any of the lineup ( except for the last run (exiting in 2025) the XT6). Competition for the mid-size 3-row is too great not to have this model. Surely, they are not thinking of an EV taking its place. I am with John Z, I go to the NC mountains for the summer (getting away from the Florida heat) and driving the inclines into the mountains with a fully loaded SUV, that turbo4 will be screaming. Unfortunately, GM did not ask us!
Actually they did, and they heard everyone stating the current 3.6 feels pretty gutless downlow and needed more torque. So they listened when everyone said the HP was good, just give us more torque and BAM. We get more HP and a ton more TQ which is what you want in a full size CUV fully loaded down with people. Not sure where you are getting at as this motor will perform better than the 3.6, do you understand how engines and vehicles work?
Will be great to hear the initial reviews. Most driving is spent down low in the rpm so all these little turbo fours I have driven as rentals have been impressive where most people need it!
Mr. Commonsense. I think I have a rudimentary idea of how engines work, seeing how I worked for Tonawanda Engine for 30 years. 10 years on the Ecotech engines.
I don’t care if this 2.5L I4 turbo engine is capable of winning the Pikes Peak race. I do not like 4 cylinder engines or turbos.
It’s not a full size, it’s a midsize suv….not competing with or replacing the Yukon.
Well, Mr Commonsense, the last sentence in the first paragraph was a smart a– statement!
I said nothing about the little turbo4’s h/p and torq. The new Acadia is much heavier than the present Acadia. The inclines in the NC mountains that engine will be screaming just to keep up the speed, as opposed to current v6. Why 3 full size CUVs? And no midsize competition? I will keep my 2023 Enclave, and I will tradein my 2017 Acadia for the last 2025 XT6, with the v6. Thankyou!
Probably replacing my 2014 Acadia with a Grand Highlander Max Hybrid eventually. GM lost me on the downsized turbo-4. Unfortunately for GM, the Toyota will get better gas mileage, while having more power and torque.
Had they gone longitudinal and put the full 2.7L in, I would have bought the new Acadia in a heartbeat just for the less complicated (non-hybrid) powertrain and 430 lb-ft and wouldn’t have given a **** about gas mileage.
Alas, it was not to be. The only way they salvage this for me is if the Acadia has a lot of payload due to the smaller engine and other associated weight savings, plus they aggressively price it compared to the Grand Highlander Max Hybrid. If they want $55,000 for an optioned out SLT though, ha!
The size of the Gen 2 Acadia is what drew me to it in the first place. In my opinion they should of kept it similar to the gen 2 size. GM has plenty of other large size SUV’s in this segment. With that being said, my next purchase won’t be GM. I have not been happy with my 2017 (gen 2) Acadia. It has already cost me $2,000 in non wear item repairs since being out of warranty (its only got 73K on it) and is nothing but a rattle box. While it was in the shop for its last repair I drove a competitors SUV to the Acadia that was 2 years older and had almost 100k on it. Drove great. No rattles. It seems for the last 20 years GM vehicles are plagued with rattles after 3-4 years of ownership. I know, to date (30+ years) GM is all I have ever owned. That is soon to change.
Wish they would have kept it a midsize. Still interested, but less so than if they didn’t increase the size. Also, wish they would have an option for the 2.7L, or the V6. Having only one engine option kind of sucks.
New GMC will weight about 2 tons ➕ W/ the 4 Banger turbo in Fl. Turn on Air there goes the Power . Bring back the 3.6 V/6!! OR Count Me Out !!! Have a ’22 Yukon W/ 6.2 Get 22m.p.g. on hiway & 17 around Town !! Go Figure .
