OAKES GMC • SERVING WICHITA & SOUTH-CENTRAL KANSAS • PROFESSIONAL GRADE
South-Central Kansas runs on long, flat highway miles. The Turnpike to Kansas City, I-135 north to Salina, US-54 west toward Pratt — these are routes where a vehicle’s highway manners and fuel economy matter more than its city agility. The 2027 GMC Acadia is well matched to that reality: a turbocharged 328-horsepower four-cylinder that cruises effortlessly at Kansas highway speeds, an EPA-estimated 26 MPG highway in front-wheel-drive form, and a 19.3-gallon tank that stretches the distance between stops.
It is also a genuinely usable three-row. At 204 inches long with 41.45 inches of second-row legroom, the Acadia carries a Wichita family and their gear without the footprint or fuel appetite of a full-size Yukon.
Seven exterior finishes are available on the 2027 Acadia, and several are trim-specific — worth knowing before you build. Trailstone Green Metallic is an Elevation-only finish, while Ink and Glacier White Tricoat are limited to the Denali and Denali Ultimate:

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 share the 328-horsepower turbocharged engine, the 8-speed automatic, and the 5,000-lb tow rating. What changes is seating configuration, drivetrain, and equipment level:
The 8-Seat Acadia
All-Terrain Capability
Premium Three-Row
Top of the Range
A Trailering Package and Hitch Guidance come standard on all four Acadia trims, which means towing capability does not require hunting for an options box. What Wichita-area owners pull:
The 2027 Acadia’s turbocharged 2.5L inline-four is the only engine offered, and it is a genuine improvement over the V6 it replaced — more horsepower, more torque, and better fuel economy simultaneously. Peak torque of 326 lb-ft arrives at 3,500 RPM, which is exactly where a loaded three-row SUV merging onto the Kansas Turnpike needs it.
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 Wichita buyers who log serious annual highway mileage, the front-wheel-drive configuration’s 26 MPG highway rating is the stronger long-term value. AWD buyers gain winter traction and a larger tank in exchange for three highway MPG.
The AT4 is the only Acadia built exclusively with all-wheel drive, using GMC’s Active Torque Control system. It rides an off-road-tuned suspension at a raised height for 7.75 inches of ground clearance — the most in the lineup — on 18-inch dark machined wheels wrapped in all-terrain tires.
Super Cruise enables hands-free driving on over 400,000 miles of compatible North American highways. For Wichita drivers making the regular run north to Kansas City, it changes the character of a long, straight highway stretch considerably. Available across all four 2027 Acadia trims.
The 2027 Acadia adds a standard interior camera and Surround Vision Recorder to the camera suite. Higher trims offer up to ten distinct camera views — useful whether you are hitching a trailer or parking a 204-inch SUV in a tight Old Town lot.
Oakes GMC in Kansas City regularly serves Wichita-area buyers who make the drive north for inventory depth and a pricing conversation that does not change at the finance desk. We serve:
Start the process before you drive.
Browse inventory, complete a credit application, and get a trade-in estimate from Wichita. Most buyers who make the trip arrive with financing in place and a specific vehicle identified — which keeps the time at our showroom focused on the test drive rather than the paperwork.
Complete your application from Wichita before making the drive. Our lender network covers every credit profile, and all current GMC incentive programs are applied before we present numbers.
Start ApplicationGet a live-market trade estimate from home. We use current regional auction data rather than published book values. In Kansas, your trade reduces the taxable selling price of your new Acadia.
Get Trade ValueOur GMC-certified service center handles all Acadia maintenance and warranty work. Wichita owners can coordinate same-day service on qualifying appointments to make the trip efficient.
Book AppointmentI wanted the Trailstone Green and did not realize it was Elevation-only until Oakes walked me through the color chart. They saved me from ordering the wrong trim. That kind of product knowledge is why the drive was worth it.
The AT4 handles our gravel road into the property better than the crossover it replaced, and the Turnpike run to KC is genuinely comfortable. Honest numbers from the first phone call to signing.
Three rows, 5,000 pounds of towing, and 26 highway. I did not think I could get all three in one vehicle under a Yukon budget. Oakes GMC had four Acadias on the lot to compare.
Is the drive from Wichita to Oakes GMC worth making?
Wichita buyers consistently tell us it is, largely because of inventory depth across all four trims and the ability to compare them side by side. Most complete the credit application and trade estimate online first, which reduces showroom time substantially.
Which Acadia trim is best for long Kansas highway miles?
For pure highway efficiency, a front-wheel-drive Elevation or Denali returns 20 city / 26 highway / 22 combined MPG. If winter traction matters more than three highway MPG, AWD is available on those trims and standard on the AT4. The powertrain is identical regardless.
What makes the AT4 different from the other Acadia trims?
The AT4 is the only Acadia offered exclusively with all-wheel drive. It adds an off-road-tuned suspension at a raised ride height for 7.75 inches of ground clearance, all-terrain tires on 18-inch dark machined wheels, and an exclusive Forest Storm interior with Mahogany accents.
Can I order an Acadia configuration you do not have in stock?
Yes. We place factory orders for specific trim, color, and equipment combinations. This matters particularly for the trim-exclusive paint colors — Trailstone Green Metallic on the Elevation, or Ink on a Denali. Contact our sales team for current production lead times.
Does Oakes GMC handle Kansas title and registration?
Yes. We process Kansas title and registration for out-of-state buyers routinely and structure the deal to account for Kansas tax requirements from the first conversation rather than at the end.
Browse inventory, apply for financing, and value your trade before the drive north. Oakes GMC at 3200 Main Street, Kansas City, MO — Professional Grade three-row SUVs for South-Central Kansas.
