Under the hood, the 2026 Acadia is powered by a 2.5L turbocharged 4-cylinder engine, producing 328 horsepower and 326 lbs.-ft. of torque. This engine is designed to provide powerful performance while maintaining fuel efficiency, making it suitable for both city driving and long highway trips. The Acadia comes with front-wheel drive as standard, with an optional all-wheel-drive system for improved traction and stability, particularly on slippery or off-road surfaces. This engine and drivetrain combination offers an ideal balance of power, efficiency, and versatility.

The Acadia’s performance is carefully balanced to provide comfort and capability. The standard front-wheel-drive system delivers a smooth and stable ride, while Sport Mode adds a performance boost for more engaging driving. The available active torque-vectoring all-wheel-drive system enhances traction and control, especially in the off-road-oriented AT4 trim, which includes underbody protection, off-road suspension, and an exclusive Terrain Mode for low-speed crawling. The Denali Ultimate’s performance suspension ensures a comfortable and controlled ride, whether you're on smooth highways or navigating rougher terrain. The Acadia is also capable of towing up to 5,000 lbs., making it an excellent choice for hauling trailers, boats, or recreational gear.
