2026 GMC Acadia

A 2.5 L turbocharged 4-cylinder engine powers the 2026 GMC Acadia. This engine generates 328 hp and 326 lb-ft of torque. It is connected to an 8-speed automatic transmission to manage acceleration and handling. The AT4 trim level includes an Active Torque Control all-wheel drive system and a suspension tuned for off-road use. When the vehicle has the available Trailering Package, it can tow up to 5000 pounds. This makes it well suited for drivers commuting along the Meadowbrook State Parkway, Southern State Parkway, and daily travel throughout Garden City Park and surrounding Long Island suburbs.

The interior of the 2026 GMC Acadia focuses on passenger comfort and storage. There are 3 rows of seats that can fit 7 or 8 people depending on the configuration, making it ideal for families in Nassau County, Garden City, and nearby Queens commuters. The Denali trim has leather-appointed seats, and the Denali Ultimate trim uses full-grain leather. The cabin includes storage areas for small items. When the 2nd and 3rd rows are folded down, the vehicle has 97.5 cubic feet of cargo space, perfect for shopping trips to Roosevelt Field Mall in Garden City or weekend travel across Long Island.

Every 2026 GMC Acadia comes with a 15" diagonal infotainment screen. This system works with Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto®. It allows different users to save their own settings. Super Cruise® is an available feature that allows hands-free driving on certain roads, including compatible sections of Long Island highways such as the Northern State Parkway and Long Island Expressway (I-495). Drivers can also get an 8" diagonal Head-Up Display that puts information on the windshield, helping with navigation through Garden City Park, Mineola, and surrounding Long Island roadways.

The 2026 GMC Acadia has more than 15 standard safety features. These include Enhanced Automatic Emergency Braking and Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning. It also has Blind Zone Steering Assist and Rear Cross Traffic Braking. To help with parking, the SUV offers HD Surround Vision and a Rear Camera Mirror. These tools are meant to help the driver see the area around the vehicle, especially in busy environments like Garden City shopping districts, Hempstead Turnpike, and congested Nassau County intersections.
