OAKES GMC • 3200 MAIN STREET, KANSAS CITY, MO • THREE-ROW PROFESSIONAL GRADE
The 2027 Acadia is GMC’s midsize three-row SUV, and its four trims are genuinely distinct rather than incremental. Every one of them shares the same 328-horsepower turbocharged engine and the same 5,000-lb tow rating, so choosing a trim is about how you want the vehicle equipped — not about settling for less capability.
The 8-Seat Acadia
All-Terrain Capability
Premium Three-Row
Top of the Range
GMC simplified the Acadia powertrain for 2027: every trim gets the turbocharged 2.5L inline-four producing 328 horsepower and 326 lb-ft of torque through an 8-speed automatic. That output comfortably exceeds the naturally aspirated V6 that powered the previous-generation Acadia, and it means a Kansas City buyer shopping the Elevation gets exactly the same acceleration and towing capability as one shopping the Denali Ultimate.
Front-wheel drive is standard on Elevation, Denali, and Denali Ultimate. All-wheel drive is available on those three and comes standard on the AT4, which uses GMC’s Active Torque Control system for the Kansas City winters that arrive without much warning.
EPA-Estimated Fuel Economy — 2027 GMC Acadia
Front-Wheel Drive: 20 city / 26 highway / 22 combined MPG on a 19.3-gallon tank.
All-Wheel Drive: 20 city / 23 highway / 21 combined MPG on a larger 21.7-gallon tank, which offsets much of the efficiency difference in total driving range.
For KC drivers covering a mix of metro and highway miles, the FWD Acadia returns meaningfully better highway economy. Buyers who commute I-435 or I-70 year-round frequently choose AWD for winter traction and accept the modest highway difference.
The 2027 Acadia palette carries seven exterior finishes, and GMC splits several of them by trim. Trailstone Green Metallic is exclusive to the Elevation; Ink and Glacier White Tricoat are reserved for the Denali and Denali Ultimate. Four core finishes run the full lineup:

Exterior and interior availability is tied to trim level and production timing. Contact our team to confirm which combinations are available on current inventory.
Every 2027 Acadia ships with a 15-inch diagonal GMC Premium Infotainment touchscreen running Google Built-In, paired with an 11-inch Driver Information Center digital cluster. Navigation, media, and vehicle data are handled through one unified interface from the Elevation up.
Super Cruise enables genuine hands-free driving on over 400,000 miles of compatible North American highways — including I-70, I-435, I-29, and I-35 through the Kansas City metro. For 2027 it is available across all four Acadia trims rather than reserved for the top of the range.
The Acadia measures 204 inches long on a 120.9-inch wheelbase, and that length goes into the cabin. Second-row legroom reaches 41.45 inches on every trim, and the third row offers 32.1 inches — enough that a KC family can put teenagers back there without complaint.
Oakes GMC at 3200 Main Street stocks the Acadia across all four trims. We serve buyers from throughout the Kansas City metro, on both sides of the state line:
The Acadia occupies a specific place in the Kansas City market: buyers who need three rows but find the Yukon larger and thirstier than their actual life requires. At 204 inches it parks in a normal garage, tows 5,000 lbs when properly equipped, and delivers the Professional Grade interior quality that separates GMC from the Chevrolet Traverse it shares a platform with.

Book AppointmentWe cross-shopped the Acadia against the Traverse and the Grand Highlander. The Denali interior was in a different category, and the third row genuinely fits our teenagers. Oakes GMC was straightforward about pricing from the first conversation.
The AT4 was exactly right for us — standard AWD, real ground clearance, and it still handles the school run. The team walked me through the Active Torque Control system in detail before I signed anything.
328 horsepower in a three-row that gets 26 on the highway is a combination I did not expect. We tow a small camper to Smithville and it never feels strained. Fair trade value and no pressure at all.
What is the fuel economy of the 2027 GMC Acadia?
Front-wheel-drive Acadias are EPA-estimated at 20 city / 26 highway / 22 combined MPG. All-wheel-drive models return 20 city / 23 highway / 21 combined MPG, though AWD configurations carry a larger 21.7-gallon tank that offsets much of the difference in total range.
How much can the 2027 Acadia tow?
Every 2027 Acadia is rated at 5,000 lbs of maximum towing capacity when properly equipped. A Trailering Package and Hitch Guidance are standard on all four trims, so towing capability does not require moving up the lineup.
Does the Acadia seat seven or eight?
The Elevation is the only Acadia that seats eight, using a second-row bench. AT4, Denali, and Denali Ultimate seat seven with second-row captain’s chairs standard.
Is Super Cruise available on every Acadia trim?
For 2027, Super Cruise is available across the Acadia lineup rather than restricted to upper trims. It enables hands-free driving on over 400,000 miles of compatible highways with driver attention monitoring active throughout.
How much cargo space does the Acadia have?
The Acadia offers 23 cubic feet behind the third row, 57.3 cubic feet with the third row folded, and up to 97.5 cubic feet with both rear rows down.
Visit Oakes GMC at 3200 Main Street, Kansas City, MO to walk all four Acadia trims, sit in the third row, and test drive the configuration you are considering. Transparent pricing, no pressure.
