Changes, Updates, New Features

The 2024 GMC Acadia sees major changes, as it represents the all-new, third generation of the nameplate. The third generation moves the Acadia from a midsize crossover SUV (for the second-gen model) to a larger, full-size crossover SUV.

Powertrain

The GMC Acadia introduces a new engine and transmission for the 2024 model year.

Production

The 2024 GMC Acadia is 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.

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 has been 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.

Seating

The 2024 Acadia is offered in one seating configuration seating seven passengers:

  • Seven-passenger configuration: standard on all trim levels, this setup features front bucket seats providing seating for two, second row flat-folding captain’s chairs providing seating for two, and a 60/40 split bench in the third row providing seating for three, resulting in a 2-2-3 seating configuration.

Beyond 2024

We expect production of the all-new, third-generation GMC to run at least through the 2030 model year. After that, the nameplate will likely transition to a battery electric powertrain, if not before.
