As a spacious three-row SUV, the new 2026 GMC Acadia is certainly family-friendly and great for road trips. However, is it also equipped for off-road adventures? Lunghamer Buick GMC details the features that make the midsize SUV off-road-ready.
Impressive Power
The heart of the 2026 GMC Acadia is a 2.5-liter turbocharged engine, which generates up to 328 horsepower and 326 lb-ft of torque. The midsize SUV comes standard with FWD, but is also offered with AWD, which helps you stay in control on tricky terrains. The rugged AT4 trim features an Active Torque Control AWD system, which is specially tuned for off-road or multi-terrain scenarios.
Traction Select System
For enhanced stability, the capable SUV also comes standard with a Traction Select System. The system lets you choose between Normal, Sport, Tow/Haul, and Off-Road modes. The Elevation, Denali, and Denali Ultimate trims also have a winter-ready Snow mode, while the AT4 model adds a Terrain Mode, which is ideal for enhanced control during off-road driving and challenging trail conditions.
Additional Off-Road Features
You can also enhance your off-road prowess with StabiliTrak®, which is an electronic stability control system with traction control. It can automatically adjust your brakes and engine torque to help you stay on your desired path. When it senses wheel slippage, the system activates by applying brake pressure or reducing power as needed. The SUV is also available with Hill Descent Control, which helps you smoothly descend downhill. You can quickly activate it by pushing a button on the instrument panel.
