At Swanson GMC, we know that shopping for a new GMC Acadia SUV can be challenging. That's why we're proud to simplify the purchase experience by comparing our latest GMC Acadia lineup to popular SUVs from other manufacturers. From daily commutes along the turnpike to weekend adventures at the arboretum, we're proud to help you explore highlights that make the Acadia worth shopping for.
Featuring a standard 2.5-liter Turbo engine that pumps out 328 horsepower and 326 pound-feet of torque, the GMC Acadia delivers a responsive experience that is bound to leave you smiling after every drive. In comparison, models like the Dodge Durango feature a standard 3.6-liter V6 engine that only produces 293 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque. In addition, the GMC Acadia uses a standard 8-speed automatic transmission for responsive gear changes. Meanwhile, SUVs like the Subaru Ascent come with a Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) that can be noisy as it searches for the perfect engine speed.
When equipped with the available Active Torque Control AWD (all-wheel drive) system, the GMC Acadia offers balanced handling and optimal traction. Using a twin-clutch rear axle design, power can be sent to the wheel with the best traction so you can take your winter adventures beyond Billerica. If you frequently explore off-road, the GMC Acadia is also available with all-terrain tires, a performance suspension system with 7.8 inches of ground clearance, a front skid plate, and red recovery hooks as part of the AT4 trim. In comparison, the Nissan Pathfinder only offers all-terrain tires, up to 7.7 inches of ground clearance, and appearance-related features.
When it comes to daily commutes and road trips near Marlborough, the GMC Acadia offers up to an EPA-estimated 23 MPG combined with standard front-wheel drive, which is more than the 2025 Honda Pilot or 2025 Chevrolet Blazer. When equipped with all-wheel drive, the GMC Acadia can deliver an EPA-estimated 21 MPG combined, outperforming the Kia Telluride, which only offers an EPA-estimated 20 MPG combined.
