OAKES GMC • SERVING TOPEKA • 65 MILES EAST ON I-70 • PROFESSIONAL GRADE
The 65-mile I-70 run between Topeka and Kansas City is one of the most-driven commuter stretches in Kansas, and for 2027 the Acadia brings something to it that few three-row SUVs offer: Super Cruise, available across the entire lineup rather than reserved for the top trim.
Super Cruise uses precision LiDAR map data and a driver-attention camera to enable genuine hands-free driving on over 400,000 miles of compatible North American highways. I-70 between Topeka and Kansas City is a mapped, compatible route. For 2027, availability extends across all four Acadia trims.
Every Acadia carries a 15-inch diagonal GMC Premium Infotainment touchscreen running Google Built-In, paired with an 11-inch digital driver cluster. Google Maps routing, voice control, and app integration are native rather than phone-mirrored — a meaningful difference on a daily highway commute.
Forward Collision Alert, Automatic Emergency Braking, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, Front Pedestrian Braking, and Following Distance Indicator are standard on every trim. New for 2027: a standard interior camera and Surround Vision Recorder.
Seven exterior finishes are offered on the 2027 Acadia. Several are restricted by trim level, so if a specific color is part of your decision it is worth confirming compatibility early — Ink and Glacier White Tricoat require a Denali or Denali Ultimate, while Trailstone Green Metallic is available only on the Elevation:

Exterior and interior availability is tied to trim level and production timing. Contact our team to confirm which combinations are available on current inventory.
All four trims carry the same 328-horsepower turbocharged engine and the same Super Cruise availability. The decision comes down to seating, drivetrain, and equipment:
The 8-Seat Acadia
All-Terrain Capability
Premium Three-Row
Top of the Range
For a Topeka driver covering the I-70 corridor to Kansas City regularly, the Acadia’s fuel economy difference between drivetrains compounds across a year. The turbocharged 2.5L produces 328 horsepower and 326 lb-ft regardless of configuration — the choice is purely about traction versus efficiency.
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.
A front-wheel-drive Acadia covering the Topeka–Kansas City round trip five days a week will use noticeably less fuel annually than the AWD equivalent. Topeka buyers who prioritize winter confidence on I-70 generally decide the trade is worth making.
Our Main Street showroom is a straight shot east on I-70 from Topeka. We regularly serve buyers across the Capital City region and the surrounding Shawnee County communities:
Kansas state employees and military personnel may qualify for special GMC purchase programs.
Kansas state employees, Fort Leavenworth personnel, Kansas Highway Patrol, and Kansas National Guard members may be eligible for GMC pricing programs that meaningfully affect the final number. Ask our finance team to confirm current eligibility and documentation requirements — ideally before you make the drive east.
Apply from Topeka before heading east on I-70. We apply every current GMC incentive — including government employee and military programs where eligible — before presenting your financing options.
Start ApplicationStart your trade estimate from home. In Kansas, your trade-in value reduces the taxable selling price of your new Acadia, and we calculate that explicitly as part of the deal structure.
Get Trade ValueOur GMC-certified service center handles Acadia maintenance and warranty repairs. Topeka owners can schedule online and coordinate same-day service on qualifying visits to make the trip worthwhile.
Book AppointmentSuper Cruise on the I-70 run has genuinely changed my week. I drive Topeka to Kansas City four days out of five and I arrive noticeably less worn out. Oakes GMC set the system up and explained it properly before I left.
State employee pricing made a real difference in what I ended up paying, and nobody at Oakes had to be asked twice to apply it. Three rows, AWD, and a cabin that feels well above the price.
I did not expect 26 highway out of a three-row SUV with 328 horsepower. The FWD Denali has cut my fuel spend compared to the SUV it replaced, and the drive east was worth the inventory selection.
Is Super Cruise available on I-70 between Topeka and Kansas City?
Yes. That stretch of I-70 is a mapped, Super Cruise-compatible route. The system enables hands-free driving with driver-attention monitoring active throughout. For 2027, Super Cruise availability extends across all four Acadia trims rather than being restricted to the Denali range.
Are state employee or military pricing programs available?
Qualifying Kansas state employees, Fort Leavenworth personnel, Kansas Highway Patrol, and Kansas National Guard members may access special GMC purchase programs. Ask our finance team to verify current eligibility and the documentation required.
Which drivetrain makes more sense for the I-70 commute?
Front-wheel drive returns 20 city / 26 highway / 22 combined MPG versus 20 city / 23 highway / 21 combined MPG for all-wheel drive, so a daily I-70 commuter will see a measurable annual fuel difference. AWD buyers accept that in exchange for winter traction, and the larger 21.7-gallon AWD tank narrows the range gap.
Can I finish most of the purchase before driving to Kansas City?
Yes. Browse inventory, apply for financing, value your trade, and calculate payments from Topeka. In-person signing finalizes the purchase, but completing those steps first typically cuts showroom time to a test drive and paperwork.
What is the difference between Denali and Denali Ultimate?
The Denali adds 20-inch bright wheels, leather-appointed seating, head-up display, power-folding third row, and the Super Cruise package. The Denali Ultimate steps up to 22-inch wheels, dark chrome exterior trim, a sport-tuned suspension, massaging front seats, Woodland Mahogany full leather, a synthetic suede headliner, and a 16-speaker Bose audio system.
Browse the Acadia lineup, apply for financing, and value your trade from Topeka before the drive east. Oakes GMC at 3200 Main Street, Kansas City, MO.
