2024 GMC Acadia Elevation
The 2024 GMC Acadia Elevation has a starting MSRP of $42,600, with significant changes from the 2023 SLE. As mentioned above, its exterior dimensions expanded all around with seven-passenger seating options. The Elevation also has an exclusive Black Edition that isn't available in other 2024 trims.

Last year's SLE was designed as a mid-size SUV, while the new Elevation is a bigger and bolder version.

Since the powertrain performance is the same for all Acadia models, the Elevation shares the strong off-road capabilities as its upper trim levels.
Drivers favor the GMC Acadia Elevation because it brings a truck-like driving experience into an SUV at the most affordable price in the 2024 generation trims.
2024 GMC Acadia Elevation Premium Package
The 2024 GMC Acadia Elevation Premium Add-On Package, if available, will start around $43,500+.

The Acadia Elevation Premium trim is a go-to option for many drivers because it has the same powertrain specs and offers almost the same amount of tech as upper trim levels. This includes AWD and an optional 15" screen upgrade for more camera views. Compared to the 2023 SLT, the 2024 Premium has a more powerful engine, standard AWD, and eight-speed automatic transmission- which was previously nine with optional AWD.

The new 2024 GMC Acadia AT4 is the ideal off-road SUV with a starting MSRP of $50,000. The AWD systems come standard in all AT4s with 18" aluminum all-terrain tires.
What sets the new AT4 apart is its active torque control with off-road-tuned suspension for low-speed trail driving and traction on rugged terrains. It also has terrain drive mode, hill descent control, and a twin-clutch rear differential for stronger off-road navigation.
New changes to the AT4 trim from the 2023 model year include a one-inch higher ground clearance, a taller ride, and a wider track.

There's only one 2024 GMC Acadia engine compared to last year's two options. However, it's more powerful to move its big body easier and faster than the previous generation.
The 2023 Acadia featured a 2.0L four-cylinder with 228hp and 258 lb-ft. of torque, or a 3.6L V6 engine with 310hp and 258 lb.-ft. of torque. The new 2024 GMC Acadia offers a more powerful 2.5L four-cylinder engine with 328hp and 326 lb.-ft. of torque.
MPG Ratings
Since Acadia has standard powertrains with AWD on all models, we expected the fuel economy ratings to remain close to the same.
The fuel economy slightly decreased from last year due to its heavier body, and it's the biggest Acadia ever produced. Even though it has a heavier body, it maintains an acceleration time of 0mph to 60mph in 7 seconds. For fuel economy, the 2024 GMC Acadia MPG ratings vary per configuration:
- FWD: 20 MPG city / 27 MPG highway / 23 MPG combined
- AWD: 19 MPG city / 24 MPG highway / 21 MPG combined

The 2024 Acadia has a higher towing capacity than last year's models. According to GMC, the 2023 versions had a maximum towing capacity of 4,000 lbs., while the upcoming models can tow up to 5,000 lbs.
Additional towing features include red front tow hooks that can trailer campers under 25ft. Combined with its turbocharged 2.5L engine and robust powertrain performance, the 2024 Acadia offers similar pickup truck towing strength in an SUV. Payload ratings are unavailable for 2024, but it's likely to increase above 1,856 lbs. from 2023 models since the new generations are bigger and stronger..
