GM Reveals 2020 GMC Acadia
GMC Introduces the Bolder 2020 Acadia
New styling, propulsion option and in-cabin technologies offer customers more General Motors February 18, 2019 DETROIT — Smarter technologies in the 2020 GMC Acadia, including a new available turbo engine and the latest GMC infotainment system1, along with a fresh look, offer greater versatility for customers on the go. The lineup includes SLE, SLT, an all-new AT4 trim and GMC’s flagship Denali, with available seating arrangements for five, six or seven passengers, depending on the model. “The 2020 Acadia is stylish, functional and capable with more of the smart convenience and connectivity features that customers rely on every day,” said Duncan Aldred, vice president of Global GMC. “And with GMC’s signature refinement at its core, the new Acadia advances the brand’s commitment to offering premium vehicles for discerning crossover customers.” Design and technology enhancements on the new Acadia include:
Design and refinement At a glance, the ’20 Acadia distinguishes itself with a new grille, new front and rear fascias and GMC’s signature C-shaped lighting. An all-new Acadia AT4 expands the reach of GMC’s newest sub-brand. Its bold styling cues, including a black chrome-accented grille, add a rugged, off-road-inspired design to the Acadia range. A 3.6L V-6 engine producing 310 hp and 271 lb-ft of torque and a twin clutch AWD system are standard to the AT4. Unique 17-inch wheels and all-terrain tires are also standard, with 20-inch wheels available. Additional design and refinement enhancements for the 2020 Acadia include:
A new 2.0L Turbo engine is standard on SLT and Denali models, expanding the Acadia’s propulsion choices for customers and adding a new dimension to its performance. It leverages GM’s innovative tripower valvetrain technology to vary valve lift across the rpm band, optimizing performance for varied driving demands:
The engine is rated at a GMC-estimated 230 horsepower (172 kW) and 258 lb-ft of torque (350 Nm). Both the proven 2.5L I-4 and the 3.6L V-6 engines remain standard or optional equipment for the 2020 Acadia dependent on trim level selected. All engine offerings feature a stop/start deactivation switch. New nine-speed automatic and Electronic Precision Shift A new nine-speed automatic replaces the previous six-speed automatic as the standard transmission for the 2.0L, 2.5L and 3.6L engines offered in the 2020 Acadia. The nine-speed’s additional clutches and gears offer better optimized acceleration and efficiency, and engine noise is reduced during cruising for greater refinement. The 2020 Acadia is the latest GMC with Electronic Precision Shift, which enables more storage room in the center console by replacing the conventional transmission shifter with an electronically controlled gear selection consisting of intuitive push buttons and pull triggers. New GMC infotainment system and additional technologies As connectivity continues to grow in importance for crossover customers, the 2020 Acadia delivers the latest GMC infotainment system that is more intelligent and more intuitive. It offers users improved voice recognition, a higher resolution touchscreen and a simplified interface that requires fewer steps for some tasks, along with simpler screen layouts inspired by the latest smartphone technology. This more user-friendly system, with an 8-inch-diagonal screen, also incorporates several new and enhanced features: Personal profile allows users to tailor the infotainment system to their preferences, including audio, available navigation (requires subscription to compatible Connected Services) and climate settings, and even transfer those preferences to another GM vehicle with a compatible infotainment system. Up to four profiles can be assigned to the system and they can be assigned to the Acadia’s key fobs, automatically resetting the preferences for the incoming driver. All-new Navigation2 interface with “one shot” destination entry feature, improved Route Guidance functionality and personalized settings. Connected Navigation3 offers real-time updates, as well as Predictive Navigation and additional information provided by a cloud database. (Feature requires a Connected Navigation trial or subscription and connectivity.) USB-C ports. Two new USB-C charging ports are integrated in the front and rear of the center console. That brings the number of ports in the Acadia to five, including a USB-A charging port for the third-row seating area. Additional new and enhanced technologies on the 2020 Acadia include:

I like the Acadia. If I was looking for an SUV, that would be the one I would get. I hope they release pics soon.

Not bad at all. I'm excited for the 9 speed. Finally ditched the problematic 6T70. Also happy to see new engine choices.

Ready to take on the new explorer. I like it but it’s gonna take a lot to combat the longtitudinal rwd drivetrain with the 10speed in the explorer

Very clean and subtle looking compared to a lot of GM designs lately

Good looking. I like the appearance of both the Traverse and Acadia. With that said, I don't like cross-overs in general and it would be very difficult to convince me to purchase one (opinion).
I am hoping that GM will have good luck with these two new versions.

"All engine offerings feature a stop/start deactivation switch."
Nice....I wonder if all engines, including the optional V-6, have AFM..?.... I would wait a year for this SUV/CUV. Looks much better than the Blazer import. |

Kind of disappointed with the interior, maybe its just me but it looks very utilitarian at least in the few pictures I have seen

The AT4 trim looks great, GMC did a great job with their designs this year

Nice...been waiting to see this. I think it looks good. Not amazing, but attractive. I'd drive it. At first glance, I wasn't sure if I thought it looked better than the current version, but I've viewed them side by side, and I think I like the 2020 looks fine. But it does appear more utility/truck-ish from the front than the current model does (even in the Denali trim...not just the AT4), which some may not care for.
I'm kind of surprised at the power rating of that re-worked 2.0. The 2.0 option in the 2018/2019 GMC Terrain, which is smaller, is rated slightly higher at 252/260. Last but not least, are those P/D/R drive switches in the dash. I know people have given them a bad rap, but we have them in our 2018 Terrain, and I like them. It might look a bit funky, but it frees up a lot of space, and functions just fine.
