2026 GMC Acadia Denali Ultimate

At the heart of every 2026 GMC Acadia is a turbocharged 2.5-liter engine delivering 328 horsepower and 326 pound-feet of torque, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission. The Denali Ultimate is available in either front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive, giving you the flexibility to match your driving needs. The Traction Select System lets you switch between up to six available drive modes, helping you adapt to varying road and weather conditions. When properly equipped, the Acadia Denali Ultimate can tow up to 5,000 pounds, making it a capable partner for weekend getaways with a trailer in tow.

Step inside the 2026 GMC Acadia Denali Ultimate and you'll immediately feel the difference in craftsmanship. The cabin features an exclusive Denali Ultimate interior design with heated and ventilated Woodland Mahogany full-leather massaging front seats with plaited contrast stitching — a genuinely luxurious touch that's hard to find at this price point. A panoramic sunroof floods all three rows with natural light, while third-row power-folding seats and second-row one-touch folding seats make reconfiguring the cabin effortless. With a maximum cargo volume of 97.5 cubic feet behind the first row, there's room for everyone and everything. Seating for up to eight passengers ensures the whole crew stays comfortable, and six USB ports keep devices charged throughout all three rows.

The 2026 GMC Acadia Denali Ultimate delivers a tech-forward experience that rivals much pricier vehicles. A stunning 15-inch diagonal Premium GMC Infotainment System with Google built-in compatibility serves as the command center, offering voice-activated controls and seamless smartphone integration via wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The Denali Ultimate also comes standard with available Super Cruise hands-free driver assistance technology, along with a 3-year OnStar One plan — letting drivers take their hands off the wheel on a growing network of compatible roads. An 8-inch diagonal configurable Head-Up Display projects key driving information directly onto the windshield, while the 11-inch diagonal Driver Information Center gives you full control over vehicle and infotainment content. For audio enthusiasts, the Bose 16-Speaker Performance Series sound system delivers concert-quality sound throughout the cabin.

Nine camera views, including HD Surround Vision and a Rear Camera Mirror, make maneuvering in tight spaces far less stressful. Remote Start is also standard, so you can have the cabin at the perfect temperature before you even open the door.
