Some of the best views start where the pavement ends. The 2027 GMC Acadia is built to take you there, pairing three-row versatility with real off-road hardware that leaves limitations behind. At Lunghamer Buick GMC, we're digging into what gives it a trail-ready edge.
Active Torque Control® AWD: The AT4 Advantage
Every 2027 GMC Acadia carries a 2.5-liter turbocharged engine making 328 horsepower and 326 lb-ft of torque. All-wheel drive is available across the lineup, but the AT4 trim takes traction further. That's thanks to its standard Active Torque Control® AWD System. Beyond splitting power between the axles, it sends torque side to side across the rear wheels, toward whichever tire has grip. The key is a twin-clutch rear drive unit, which can actively distribute torque between the rear wheels to help direct power toward available traction. That way, the GMC Acadia keeps pushing forward over loose rock or through mud.
Clearance and Armor for Rough Ground
Traction only goes so far without clearance to match. The AT4 trim features a lifted ride height for additional clearance on rough terrain. Standard 18-inch wheels with all-terrain tires bite into loose dirt, while an off-road tuned suspension smooths out ruts. The AT4 trim also adds steel skid plates to protect underbody components. If you get stuck, red recovery hooks give you a solid attachment point.
Control on Steep and Slippery Terrain
Coming down a steep grade matters as much as climbing it. Hill Descent Control on the AT4 trim manages your speed so you can focus on steering. Along the way, StabiliTrak® keeps you planted on slick surfaces, while HD Surround Vision™ gives you camera views to help visibility so you can spot obstacles around your vehicle.
