The 2025 GMC Acadia represents the second model year of the crossover’s third generation, which was introduced in conjunction with the 2024 model year overhaul. The 2025 Acadia brings a handful of updates, among which is an expansion of the number of available GMC Acadia interior colorways from five to seven.
The 2025 GMC Acadia interior colorways include four options for the entry-level Elevation trim, a single colorway for the rugged AT4, and two for the range-topping Denali. Materials include cloth, CoreTec – the soft-touch, spill and stain resistant synthetic leatherette known by various trade names for different GM brands – and perforated leather, as the table below details.

Beyond new interior colorways, the 2025 Acadia also adds other changes and udpates, including a second-row bench seat for the Elevation trim. This makes the entry-level trim better suited to those with a need to transport larger numbers of people, increasing capacity to eight passengers.
Additionally, the new Adventure Package (RPO code PCM) has been added to the options for the 2025 model year. Package content includes molded assist steps (RPO code VQO), roof rack cross rails (RPO code VLL), and 18-inch gloss black wheels (RPO code EU2) with black lug nuts (RPO code SPY), among other items. The crossover also makes a key change the front passenger seat, which now limits the four-way power lumbar adjustment to the Denali trim, rather than being available on all trim levels.
At the lower end, starting prices for the 2025 Acadia Elevation with FWD start at $44,295 and at $46,295 for the AWD variant. At the upper end, the Denali trim has a starting MSRP of $55,295 for front-wheel and $57,295 for all-wheel drive. A destination freight charge of $1,395 is included in these prices. The official configurator for the 2025 GMC Acadia is currently live.
The turbocharged 2.5L I4 LK0 gasoline engine provides motivation for all trims and variants of the 2025 GMC Acadia, and is rated at 328 horsepower and 326 pound-feet of torque. The GM eight-speed automatic transmission handles cog swaps for both FWD and AWD configurations.
Under the skin, the Acadia rides on the long-wheelbase variant of the GM C1 platform, which has been upgraded with the GM Global B electrical architecture. Production of the 2025 model takes place at the GM Lansing Delta Township plant in Michigan.

My wife drives a 2020 Acadia Denali that’s Black-on-Black with 20 inch Black Rims and Tires and everywhere she goes she always gets complements on her vehicle (which she keeps in very pristine condition). But, surprisingly enough, the main talking point is actually focused on something that I didn’t mention. It’s that Oversized Chrome Denali Front Grille with the Black GMC Badge in the Center with the Scowl of the, what I like to call, “Squinty-Eyed” headlights that automatically draw people’s eyes towards it like a magnet or some kind of hypnosis or something and then GM had the nerve to finish-off the Bottom Front Bumper Fascia with a Smirk (like yeah, come get some). I tend to call that look and the reactions that come with it “Elegant Aggression”. As a matter of fact, this is yet another selling point for GM, so much so that almost all of the other vehicle manufacturers have definitely noticed and are attempting to make their own versions of it (with the Lincoln SUVs coming the closest) without getting too close because they don’t want to get sued. This Classy look is wrapped around the BEAST of power, performance, and innovation that Embodies what it means to be “Professional Grade”. Now, with all that being said, my question is…….WHY ON GOD’S GREEN EARTH WOULD YOU NOT KEEP THE OVERSIZED CHROME DENALI GRILLE???!!!!! While I LOVE the technology that’s in the ’24s and ’25s, it looks like you went backwards on the exterior appeals! The Front Grille and the Rear Tail Light Assemblies have both shrunk. It looks similar to the 2017 Acadias. What happened to that BIG, BOLD look that GMC is known for (like on the Front and Rear Grille and Light Assemblies of the ’23 and ’24 Yukons)?? I’m just sayin’……go back and slap the engineer who changed those two and ask him/ her “what’s the matter with you?” I’m just joking about that part, but seriously though, Y’all need to do a Mid-Cycle or Early-Generation Refresh (or whatever the technical/ engineering name for it is) even if those are the only 2 things that are changed.
Wow, never heard someone get so worked up over something so trivial. First, big and bold what they are known for? Trends come and go, before big and bold was slender and subtle, they are going back to combine the two. I think you are in the minority with the grille and your design likes, most seem to like it based on polls. Beast of power, an Acadia? Ok… Either was that was a lot of writing for so little value.
I do have one question, what little cr_p town do you live in where your 2020 Acadia gets compliments everywhere it goes? That wouldn’t garner a second look in most places and fall in line with a Rav4 in terms of ability to be complimented…
I read so many gloomy articles. So down on GM. Be a little optimisic.
