Background

The GMC Acadia received a mid-cycle enhancement (MCE) – otherwise known as an update, refresh or facelift – for the 2020 model year. The 2024 model will represent an all-new generation of the nameplate.

Positioning

The 2024 GMC Acadia will grow in size compared to the current, second-generation Acadia, which ran from the 2017 thru the 2023 model years. In fact, the 2024 Acadia will see the crossover SUV return to roughly the size of its first generation, which was available through the 2016/2017 model years.

Powertrain

As exclusively reported exclusively by GM Authority, the 2024 GMC Acadia will be powered by the turbo 2.5L LK0 inline four cylinder engine. The new boosted four cylinder will connect to GM’s eight-speed automatic transmission.

While exact power and torque figures are not yet known, we expect the new boosted four to be rated at 315 horsepower and 317 pound-feet of torque.

Front-wheel-drive will be standard, while all-wheel-drive will be optional.

Engine	Aspiration	Transmission	Power (hp / kW @ RPM)	Torque (lb-ft / Nm @ RPM)	Axle Ratio
2.5L LK0 I-4	Turbocharged	8-Speed Auto (TBD)	Expected 315 / 235 @ TBD	Expected 317 / 430 @ TBD	TBD

Platform

All third-generation units of the GMC Acadia will ride on the long-wheelbase variant of the GM C1 platform (or “Chi”). A shorter variant of the same architecture underpinned the second-gen model. However, the platform will be iterated for the 2024 model year, gaining several improvements like GM’s state-of-the-art Global B electrical architecture. As a result, the platform is referred to internally as C1-2, with the “2” referring to the second generation of the architecture.

The third-generation Buick Enclave and third-generation Chevy Traverse will share the C1-2 platform directly with the 2024 Acadia.

A shorter version of the first-gen C1 platform is used to underpin the following vehicles:

2017 – 2024 Cadillac XT5 (first generation)
2018 – 2024 GMC Acadia (second generation)
2019 – 2025 Chevrolet Blazer
2020 – 2025 Cadillac XT6 (first generation)
2020 and newer Chevrolet Blazer XL / three-row Blazer
2020 and newer “baby” Buick Enclave (China market)

Production

The 2024 GMC Acadia will be assembled by GM USA at the GM Lansing Delta Township plant in Michigan, a move from the GM Spring Hill plant in Tennessee where the second-gen model was made.

Availability

As first reported by GM Authority, the 2024 GMC Acadia will enter production in January 2024. The new model will continue being available in North America and the Middle East, while likely expanding to other international markets like South Korea, where GM introduced the GMC brand in 2022.

Beyond 2024

We expect production of the all-new, third-generation GMC to run at least through the 2029 model year. After that, the nameplate will likely transition to a battery electric powertrain, if not before.
