2025 GMC Acadia Limited MSRP, Features, Dimensions
2025 GMC Acadia Limited MSRP, Features, Dimensions – Following its redesign for 2025, the slimmed-down GMC Acadia is a tweener three-row crossover, giving up some interior space for more manageable exterior dimensions. Its fine ride and handling impress, although interior quality is not up to the standards of most competitors. Done up here in its off-road-inspired trim, the 2022 GMC Acadia Limited looks to show its rugged side.
2025 GMC Acadia Limited Redesign and Update Plan
Exterior and Interior
Both the front buckets and second-row captain’s chairs are comfortable and easily accessed, but with the Acadia having tidier dimensions than many other three-rows in this segment, the rearmost seats are best suited for occasional use and shouldn’t be considered an everyday asset. Nonetheless, a one-touch slide-and-fold function for the second-row captain’s chairs allows for reasonable accessibility. While there is some recline functionality in the two rear perches, legroom is limited, especially if the second-row passengers in their sliding chairs are not feeling generous.
The GMC Acadia offers a modest 362 L of cargo space behind the third row. Folding the second row expands capacity to 1,181 L. Dropping the second and third rows, meanwhile, expands the total capacity to 2,237 L. Both rows drop easily and create a flat load floor. Since the Limited comes only with the Acadia’s larger 3.6L V6 engine, it enjoys a max towing capacity of 1,814 kg (4,000 lb) when equipped with the $960 tow package. Included with this is a Class III hitch, heavy-duty cooling system, 170-amp alternator, and hitch guidance camera.
2025 GMC Acadia Limited Specs
Along with the long list of standard safety systems, the Acadia Limited gets hill descent control and a unique multi-setting dual-clutch all-wheel drive system. A rotary knob on the console calls up the five modes (two-wheel drive, four-wheel drive, sport, trail, or towing). Since there’s no increase in the Limited’s ride height, it doesn’t fall into the serious off-roader category, but it’s of the same ilk as Honda’s new Trailsport offerings or Subaru’s Wilderness. 2025 GMC Acadia Limited MSRP
Standard interior features include an eight-way power driver’s seat with lumbar support, 120-volt power outlet, keyless entry with push-button start, and tri-zone climate control. Consider the comprehensive $2,995 GMC Pro Grade package necessary, as it provides a heated steering wheel, head-up display, dual sunroofs, memory seating, an eight-way power passenger seat, folding/heated/dimming exterior mirrors, and a power tilt/telescoping steering wheel.
The standard eight-speaker audio is quite good, and the system supports wireless Apple CarPlay and wireless Android Auto. Also included is navigation, a subscription-based Wi-Fi hotspot, and a three-month satellite radio subscription. This tester’s Jet Black perforated leather ($1,195) replaces the standard cloth upholstery.
Engine and Performance
While other GMC Acadia models have the option of a turbocharged four-cylinder, the “tough guy” Limited runs only with GM’s ubiquitous 3.6L V6 that puts out a robust 310 hp and 271 lb-ft of torque here. It’s a strong, linear engine, and while it doesn’t have the low-down turbo punch of some rivals, it provides plenty of urge – and a bit of old-fashioned torque steer if you hammer the throttle when in front-wheel drive. The nine-speed automatic transmission is a slick unit, shuffling the gears smoothly and intelligently. Together, they make a great pair. 2025 GMC Acadia Limited MSRP
2025 GMC Acadia Limited Fuel Economy
A week of mixed winter driving with an admittedly light touch on the throttle netted 11.3 L/100 km. This pretty much lines up with other V6-powered rivals like the Honda Pilot, Kia Telluride, or Volkswagen Atlas, although they’re all slightly larger than the Acadia. According to Natural Resources Canada (NRCan), the V6-powered version is rated for 12.6 L/100 km in the city, 9.2 on the highway, and 11.0 combined. 2025 GMC Acadia Limited MSRP
2025 GMC Acadia Limited Safety Features
The Acadia Limited comes standard with a full suite of safety systems: front and rear parking sensors, following-distance indicator, forward collision warning and emergency braking, front pedestrian detection, blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert, lane-keep assist with lane-departure warning, and OnStar connected services. Selecting the Pro Grade package ($2,995) adds, among other features, a head-up display and surround-view cameras. Adaptive cruise control is not available on the Limited trim.
2025 GMC Acadia Limited Price and Release Date
With an as-tested price of a little less than $55,000 before freight and taxes, the 2022 GMC Acadia Limited sits right in the heart of some very stiff competition. The Kia Telluride SX Limited, for the same price, has more features, more room, and a top-shelf interior fitted with a larger touchscreen interface. Same with the Hyundai Palisade. The Ford Explorer in Timberline trim ($51,499) could be considered more of a direct competitor to the Acadia Limited, as it trades on the “off-road adventure” theme. 2025 GMC Acadia Limited MSRP
