Introducing The Redesigned 2020 GMC Acadia | GMC Life
With a fresh, bold exterior appearance, improved interior design, advanced technologies, and driver-focused powertrain options, the new 2020 Acadia further builds upon the hallmark attributes of a Professional Grade midsize SUV.
Striking design. Strong performance. Advanced technologies. Refined appointments. These qualities have always helped set the GMC Acadia midsize SUVs apart from its competitors, but the newly redesigned 2020 GMC Acadia continues to distinctively deliver those attributes.
DISTINCTIVE DESIGN, REFINED INSIDE AND OUT
We’ve built upon Acadia’s already taut, athletic form by infusing it with the bold, powerful attitude and precision-crafted detailing that are hallmarks of GMC design. From the A-pillars forward, the 2020 Acadia wears all-new sheetmetal. Drawing inspiration from our Sierra 1500, Acadia’s strong, expressive hood flows into a wide, tall, bold grille, which neatly interlocks with both the front bumper fascia and headlamps in a geometric fashion.
Acadia’s striking headlamp design incorporate LED lighting technology on all trim levels, and also incorporate GMC’s distinctive C-shaped signature lighting elements, which provide a recognizable design cue even at night. LED lighting is also used in Acadia’s new taller tail lamp design, and within the fog lamps on Acadia SLT models.
As always, the Acadia Denali builds upon Acadia’s distinctive appearance with a variety of unique exterior touches and detailing. A Denali-exclusive grille, which incorporates eye-catching three-dimensional elements and unique finishing, is flanked by chrome surrounds and unique headlamp bezels. Acadia Denali models receive body-colored lower trim elements (including a unique lower front fascia), Denali emblems debossed into side and rear trim moldings, and new 20-inch aluminum wheels.
ELEVATED INTERIOR APPOINTMENTS
Beauty is only skin deep – that’s why we also set to further enhance Acadia’s already contemporary interior design. We’ve expanded the use of premium, soft-touch materials throughout the cabin, including along the sides of the center console. Acadia Denali models go a step further, incorporating open-pore wood accents throughout the interior, and offering a unique Dark Galvanized/Light Shale two-tone color scheme, inspired by modern architecture and interior decor.
Acadia’s center console has also been carefully redesigned to provide additional functionality. By incorporating the new Electronic Precision Shift controls first introduced in the GMC Terrain, Acadia’s center console has been redesigned and optimized for convenient storage – storage trays are enlarged, cupholders are placed side-by side, and a new storage area created underneath the upper surface, perfectly sized for a tablet or small bag.
Acadia’s interior is as functional as it is attractive. In six- and seven-passenger configurations, the Smart Slide functionality of the curbside second-row seat allows it to easily slide and tilt forward for access to the third row. A 50/50 split third-row seat folds to provide a completely flat load floor, while release levers placed within the cargo area make it easy to quickly fold the second- and third-row seats without walking around the vehicle.
FIRST EVER ACADIA AT4
The active, athletic spirit of GMC’s new AT4 model line – first introduced with the Next Generation Sierra 1500 – expands to the 2020 Acadia lineup. The Acadia AT4 incorporates a number of distinctive exterior cues, including an exclusive grille design with a black chrome finish, gloss black roof rails, black mirror caps, and a black chrome tail lamp accent panel. 17-inch wheels finished in black chrome – an AT4 exclusive – and all-terrain tires are standard, while 20-inch wheels/tires are available.
Acadia AT4’s distinctive appearance also extends within the cabin, with dark chrome interior accents, and unique seating – including available Jet Black/Kalahari leather-appointed seating surfaces. While both six- and seven-seat configurations are available, Acadia AT4 offers a five-passenger seating configuration as standard equipment, along with a Cargo Management System, providing additional storage flexibility within the cargo area.
ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY AND CONNECTIVITY
A modern vehicle should be as forward-thinking and connected as you are – which is why we worked to equip the 2020 Acadia with a number of innovative technologies designed to help you stay up-to-date, even while on the go.
To start, the 2020 Acadia is available with the Next Generation GMC Infotainment system, which incorporates an 8-inch diagonal color touch screen, along with an improved user interface. This system also provides Bluetooth† hands-free phone connectivity, along with Android Auto† and Apple CarPlay†. Acadia also offers an available 4G LTE Wi-Fi® Hotspot†, providing connectivity for up to seven devices, allowing passengers to check email, post to social media, or browse the Web.
Acadia models equipped with available embedded navigation also incorporate Cloud connectivity†, which can provide improved real-time traffic updates, or migrate driver profiles – which can include radio station presets, vehicle preferences, and so on – from one compatible vehicle to another.
Keeping devices charged while traveling can also be important, and Acadia is certainly up to that task, with no fewer than 5 USB ports† – including two USB-C ports – available throughout the cabin. Additionally, Acadia is available with wireless device charging, which can charge Qi and Powermat- compatible devices without requiring a charging cable†.
SAFETY TECHNOLOGIES
The 2020 Acadia is available with a number of active safety technologies† designed to not only protect the driver and passengers in case of a collision, but help drivers avoid one altogether.
The Driver Alert package, available on Acadia SLE and standard on Acadia SLT, AT4, and Denali, includes:
The Driver Alert Package II, which is available on Acadia SLT and AT4 models and standard on Acadia Denali, builds off the Driver Alert I package by adding:
Acadia Denali is also available with a 6” diagonal color Head Up Display, which may help drivers keep eyes on the road by projecting key vehicle information onto the windshield, low in the driver’s field of vision. Additionally, Acadia Denali offers an available Rear Camera Mirror, which can provide a wider, less obstructed field of view compared to traditional inside rearview mirrors.
REFINED DRIVING EXPERIENCE
Acadia’s powertrain options expand further for the 2020 model year. A 2.5L four-cylinder remains the base engine offering in Acadia SL and SLE models, while a potent 3.6L, 310-hp V6 engine is available, and standard on Acadia AT4.
2020 Acadia SLT and Acadia Denali models are equipped with an all-new 2.0L turbocharged four-cylinder engine as standard equipment. Producing 237 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque, this engine is designed to provide the perfect blend of power and efficiency, along with premium refinement. A twin-scroll turbocharger helps the engine respond punctually off the line, while variable valve timing and Active Fuel Management allow the engine to adjust for power or efficiency, as demanded by the driver.
All 2020 Acadia models are also equipped with a new nine-speed automatic transmission, and also feature start/stop technology (with deactivation button) – which, when active, can stop the engine when the vehicle comes to a halt in order to reduce fuel consumption, and automatically re-start the engine.
Acadia is available in either front- or all-wheel drive configurations, and incorporate a Traction Select system, which allows the driver to adjust chassis and powertrain attributes to suit a variety of driving conditions. The Acadia AT4 features an advanced Twin-Clutch all-wheel drive system, which further enhances traction on loose surfaces or broken terrain. For 2020, Acadia’s rear suspension tuning has been revised to provide improved ride quality over rough roads. Acadia Denali also continues to offer Continuous Dampening Control, which adjusts suspension damper tuning in real time to optimize ride and handling for the road at hand.
