Used 2024 GMC Acadia for Sale nearMerced, CA

How much does the 2024 GMC Acadia cost?

Prices have softened 8.46% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 3,384 listings available, which gives you a solid pool of inventory to compare.

Is the 2024 GMC Acadia a good car?

Yes — the 2024 GMC Acadia earns a 4.5/5 user rating and a 6.8/10 expert rating. The model scores 9/10 across Form and function and Technology.

The Acadia is a redesigned three-row crossover SUV that aims to deliver a full-size feel in a midsize package, and its well-executed cabin and easy-to-use technology are two of its strongest points. It also offers plenty of cargo space, which makes it a practical fit if you need room for people and gear.

The trade-offs are clear: the design may be polarizing, and the driving experience is fairly pedestrian. If you want a family-focused SUV that emphasizes space, tech, and overall execution more than excitement, the Acadia fits that brief well.

36.2% of listings are priced as good or great deals, which suggests there are worthwhile opportunities if you shop carefully.

Is the 2024 GMC Acadia reliable?

Owners rate it 4.5/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

The 2024 Acadia is a redesigned model with a new turbocharged four-cylinder engine and a revamped interior, and the expert review describes the powertrain as pulling strongly and consistently. It also notes that the cabin and technology are well executed, which can help reduce day-to-day frustration over time.

The engine note is described as coarse, and the vehicle’s size and complexity mean you should pay close attention to maintenance history and overall condition when shopping used. For long-term ownership, a clean, well-kept example is the safer bet.

What should I look for when buying a used 2024 GMC Acadia?

Accident-free inventory is solid at 86.8% — always verify the vehicle history report.

You should still run a history report on any listing you’re considering, even if it looks clean at first glance. A pre-purchase inspection is especially important on a redesigned model, since you’ll want to confirm that the electronics, drivetrain, and cabin features are all working as intended. Focus on overall condition, because the Acadia’s appeal depends heavily on how well its space, tech, and interior execution have been preserved.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The base Elevation replaces the previous SLE and SLT trims, while AT4 and Denali add their own styling and equipment. The Elevation comes standard with 18-inch wheels, the Denali moves to standard 20-inch wheels and optional 22s, and the AT4 gets model-specific 18-inch wheels with all-terrain tires.
• Powertrain: Every 2024 Acadia uses a 2.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine with 328 horsepower and 326 pound-feet of torque, paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission. It pulls strongly and consistently, and it supports a 5,000-pound towing capacity with the available towing package.
• Safety package: Standard driver-assist features include forward-collision warning, a following-distance indicator, automatic emergency braking front and rear, automatic high beams, adaptive cruise control, lane-keep assist, lane-departure warning, blind-spot monitoring with steering assist, and traffic-sign recognition. Super Cruise is optional on all trim levels, and it requires the driver to take over at intersections.
• Infotainment: The Acadia gets a standard 11-inch digital instrument cluster and 15-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Wireless device charging, a built-in Wi-Fi hotspot, and at least one USB port per row are standard, and Google built-in apps are part of the setup.
• Fuel efficiency: GMC estimates 23 mpg combined, 20 mpg city, and 27 mpg highway with FWD, or 21 mpg combined, 19 mpg city, and 24 mpg highway with AWD.

Which 2024 GMC Acadia trim should I buy?

The 2024 GMC Acadia is offered in 3 trim levels: Elevation, AT4, and Denali.

Here's the short version:

• Elevation: This is the entry point, but it still gives you the redesigned Acadia’s core strengths, including the standard digital display setup, wireless smartphone integration, and the roomy three-row layout. It makes the most sense if you want the new Acadia’s space and tech without paying for the more specialized trims.
• AT4: This is the best fit if you want the most rugged version of the Acadia. It adds all-wheel drive, a twin-clutch system tuned for off-road driving, a 1.2-inch ride-height lift, skid plates, and Terrain mode, though the review makes clear it’s still a light off-roader rather than a hardcore one.
• Denali: This is the upscale choice, with leather seats, unique stitching, standard 20-inch wheels, and available 22-inch wheels. It suits you if you want the most premium-feeling Acadia, though the review notes that the materials still don’t fully match the trim’s luxe billing.

The safety package is strong across the lineup, and Super Cruise is available on all trim levels.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2024 GMC Acadia?

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop with some leverage if you’re patient.

• Deal availability: 36.2% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 3,384 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 8.46% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 86.8% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $40,097, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2024 GMC Acadia's resale value?

The current average of $40,097 sits slightly below last year's $43,802.

That softer pricing can help you as a buyer now, but it also suggests future sellers may face a more competitive resale environment if the market stays loose. The Acadia’s strong equipment level and family-friendly appeal should help support demand, especially for clean examples with desirable features.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.5/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2024 GMC Acadia safe?

The 2024 GMC Acadia is a newly redesigned model, so crash-test ratings from IIHS and NHTSA were not available at the time of publication.

It earns a 7/10 safety score from our experts.

Standard driver-assistance features include forward-collision warning, automatic emergency braking front and rear, adaptive cruise control, lane-keep assist, lane-departure warning, blind-spot monitoring with steering assist, automatic high beams, and traffic-sign recognition. It also includes a rear-seat reminder and vibrating safety alert seat, and an optional rearview camera mirror and surround-view camera system can provide up to nine camera views.

Super Cruise is available on all trim levels, but it is not standard. It allows hands-free driving while still requiring your eyes on the road, and it can work on some surface roads as well as divided highways.

Should I buy a 2024 GMC Acadia or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2024 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2024 if:

• 36.2% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 86.8% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 8.46% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The 2024 model brings a redesigned body, a revamped interior, and a new turbocharged four-cylinder engine.

The bottom line: If you want the newest Acadia with the strongest tech and the most up-to-date design, the 2024 is the right target. If your priority is lower purchase price and broader trim variety, a nearby older model year may be the better value path.
