The third-generation GMC Acadia crossover was unveiled for the 2024 model year, with the subsequent 2025 model year debuting a number of important updates and changes. Critically, the 2025 Acadia’s Deep Bronze Metallic exterior paint option (color code GXN) will be built out after the week of December 16th, 2024. As such, this week is the last chance that customers can place an order for a 2025 GMC Acadia in Deep Bronze Metallic paint.
It’s unclear at this time if Deep Bronze Metallic will return to the GMC Acadia paint options list in conjunction with the upcoming 2026 model year, or if it will be replaced by a new paint color. Either way, the hue is currently (temporarily) available exclusively for the 2025 GMC Acadia AT4 trim level, and is not available for Elevation or Denali trims. Deep Bronze Metallic costs $495, and is only available in combination with the Forest Storm with Mahogany Accents interior colorway.
Deep Bronze Metallic was one of three new hues added to the GMC Acadia paint options list in conjunction with the all-new 2024 model year, the other two of which were Crystal Metallic (paint code GXK) and Downpour Metallic (paint code GXP). The three new colors were offered as replacements for three deleted colors.
Further updates with the latest third-gen overhaul include larger exterior dimensions and greater interior volume. The third-gen crossover also shows off new styling, both inside and out, as well as a long list of new tech features.
As for the latest 2025 GMC Acadia, the third-gen’s second model year brings with it a new Adventure Package (LPO code PCM) that enhances the crossover’s style and versatility, adding in roof rack cross rails (RPO code VLL), molded assist steps (RPO code VQO), 18-inch gloss black wheels (RPO code EU2) with black lug nuts (RPO code SPY), wheel locks (RPO code SEZ), and center caps with red logos (RPO code 5ZC), as well as a tire pressure monitor (RPO code SD5).
Under the hood, the third-gen Acadia cradles the turbocharged 2.5L I4 LK0 gasoline engine as standard, while the GM C1 platform variant provides the bones. Production takes place at the GM Lansing Delta Township plant in Michigan.

Kinda wish GM would have kept this color in the Chevy Trax lineup, but alas it was cancelled with the 2025 model. I like it, gives it an extra touch of class missing in the hues of gray found in the GM lineup. The first two years of the C8 Corvette featured a similar color, Zeus Bronze and the car looks great in that color by those folks tired of the usual. And judging by the resale value of Zeus Bronze Corvettes, it commands a nice price for the seller.
Why would I ever want to order an Acadia or Traverse with that stupid and pathetic four cylinder engine? As good as they both look, my driving experience would be totally ruined with that horrendous turbo engine that struggles to move these larger and heavier vehicles; talk about rough and noisy!
And in case you’re wondering, yes, I test drove two 2024 Acadia models and decided that these 2.5L turbo engines are real losers. I know I’m not the only one on this forum who shares this sentiment.
You are in the minor there bud. A few dated thinking old school guys who think engine size drive power have your incorrect way of thinking, but the rest of the current world and the testers think otherwise. How can you say it struggles to move out of its way when reviews say quite the opposite? The Traverse gained some weight, but got a big bump in power where it matters. That old car based V6 needed to get replaced and GM went right going with a powerful big torque turbo four, they drive much better all around. Sure it doesn’t make a refined pleasing sound when revved out, but guess what? With a ton of torque, it doesn’t need to be revved. It can stay in top gear up hills and accelerate with traffic while not revving high (something that old V6 couldn’t accomplish, any hill it down shifted to rev and to accelerate had to rev, not what you want in a heavy CUV made to carry people and weight).
Glad you have your wrong opinion though, there are always those jokers that live in the past. To top if off, with how the 2.5 was over built, it should outlast that 3.6 long term too.
Also, anytime someone uses an insult right off the bat, no one takes you seriously and knows you are incorrect in what rhetoric you are trying to spew that is false. Good job!
Jesus man — then don’t buy it, it’s simple as that. You don’t need to whine about the 4 cylinder in every Acadia and Traverse thread. You’re worse than vegans or gym bros bringing up unrelated topics in conversations. This thread is about paint color and all you do is drone on about how GM’s engine choice is an affront to you personally.
The V6 is gone and no amount of complaining on here will bring it back. It’s a weird obsession some of you have bringing it up every chance you get like somehow GM is reading these comments and making strategic plans based on your whims. These new triplets are selling well so clearly the mass market they were designed for simply do not care.
I totatly agree with Chris. I also drove the Acadia it is not for me.
I ordered the 25 Acadia Denali. I test drove the 24 and wasn’t unhappy with it but the 25 offers more.
Took a 24 for a 450 mile test drive and it seems to suit the needs of a 4 wheel drive station wagon as it’s meant to be ordered a 25 At4
Someone needs to race a 3.6l acadia against the 2.5l. Winner takes all. I know they can increase the torque on this engine. This is basically a 2.7l that they put in full size trucks.
