• Elevation: This is the entry trim, and it comes standard with 18-inch wheels, a 15-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and a strong set of driver-assistance features. It’s the best-value choice if you want the newest Acadia’s core space and tech without moving up the lineup.

The GMC Acadia years with the most listings are 2022, 2024, and 2023.
