• Performance

  

  Standard V6 Power

  The 2023 Acadia has access to two different powertrains, but each trim comes standard with a specific power plant. The AT4 comes equipped with the higher-end offering of the Acadia's engine lineup––a powerful and reliable 3.6-liter V6. So with the AT4, you have all 310 hp and 271 lb-ft of torque to make use of on your adventures. The engine is attached to a 9-speed automatic transmission for fluid shifting and a smooth scaling of steady but on-demand acceleration.

  Efficient Off-Roading

  The powertrain setup gives the Acadia AT4 a fuel economy rating of 19 MPG in the city and up to 26 MPG on the highway, thanks to the V6 being outfitted with Active Fuel Management and variable valve timing with dynamic stop/start technology. The AT4 also comes standard with GMC's active torque control all-wheel drive system, designed to take advantage of the traction selection system so drivers can alter how the Acadia handles whether on-road or off-road.

  To further help with stability and traction control is the standard inclusion of StabiliTrak, which provides electronic stability and traction control management at all times. With the 17-inch machined aluminum wheels and all-terrain tires, the AT4 is more than capable of tackling all types of weather, road, and trail conditions. Additionally, the V6 engine and performance management systems all help to bolster impressive tow ratings for the midsize SUV, giving the 2023 GMC Acadia AT4 up to 4,000 lbs worth of towing capacity.

• Design

  

  Exterior Amenities

  Part of the appeal of the 2023 Acadia isn't just its performance capabilities but also its ability to lavish passengers in style. This is exemplified by a sophisticated exterior and a comfort-laced interior, with plenty of amenities to make the ride both stylish and relaxing. From the outside, you have C-shaped LED signature lighting with daytime running lamps, gloss black roof rails for exterior cargo storage, a body-colored shark fin antenna, and dual exhaust tips.

  The exterior amenities don't end there, though. The AT4 comes with its signature black chrome grille that exudes confidence and style with the red GMC logo right in the center. Contrasting black outside mirrors help give the AT4 a distinct look, in addition to the AT4 badging across the exterior with chrome accents and trimming. A hands-free programmable liftgate also makes it easy to reach the rear cargo area of the Acadia without any interruptions or obstructions. The style continues to emanate throughout the design of the AT4 with the interior as well.

  Cabin Features

  With available seating for up to seven people across three rows, the 2023 GMC Acadia AT4 pushes the limits on the capabilities of a midsize SUV. Smart-slide second-row seats are also designed to grant easy access to the third row, and with the third row folded, you can take advantage of the additional cargo capacity. The standard cargo volume with all three rows upright gives you 12.8 cu.ft. of space to work with, but with the third row folded, you have 41.7 cu.ft. of cargo capacity to store goods. With the second and third-row folded, you can take advantage of up to 79 cu.ft. of cargo volume.

  With standard premium cloth seating and available leather upholstery for those who want to amp up the luxury qualities of their Acadia, the AT4 maintains consistency in combining refinement with excitement. One of the better examples of this philosophy is the Dual Skyscape Sunroof, which extends across both the front and second row of the Acadia. The Acadia AT4 also comes standard with an 8-way power driver seat and an available 8-way power passenger seat. Heated and ventilated driver and passenger seats are also available for the AT4, further raising the comfort levels of the midsize SUV.
