Which GMC Acadia trim should I buy?

The 2024 GMC Acadia offers these trims:

• Elevation: The entry trim brings 18-inch wheels and serves as the best-value starting point if you want the newest Acadia packaging without moving up the lineup.
• AT4: This trim adds model-specific 18-inch wheels with all-terrain tires, red tow hooks, black wheel-arch trim with marker lights, blacked-out trim, a twin-clutch AWD system, a 1.2-inch ride-height lift, skid plates, and a Terrain drive mode.
• Denali: This trim adds 20-inch wheels, optional 22-inch wheels, leather seats, and a more upscale grille and interior presentation.

What GMC Acadia do most buyers choose?

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

These higher-volume years tend to be the most popular used picks because they give you more inventory to compare, which can make it easier to find the right trim, mileage, and price combination. They also tend to sit in the part of the lineup where newer features and broader availability overlap.

What is the GMC Acadia's resale value?

Most Acadia model years are showing double-digit year-over-year price drops, which is good news if you want to buy used. The steepest declines are concentrated in older and mid-cycle years, while the newest models are falling more slowly. That creates a wide spread of opportunities across the lineup, especially if you are shopping for value rather than the newest possible example.

The 2025, 2023, and 2021 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.

Should I buy a used GMC Acadia now or wait for the next model?

• Sweet-spot year: The 2022 model has the most listings at a current average price of $25,859. The GMC Acadia offers a roomy, comfort-focused cabin that makes it especially appealing for family use.

Consider waiting if:

• Powertrain/efficiency: For 2024, every GMC Acadia is powered by a 2.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine. Shared with the 2024 Chevy Traverse, this engine produces 328 horsepower and 326 pound-feet of torque.
• Tech: For 2024, the Acadia gains a standard 11-inch digital instrument cluster and 15-inch touchscreen that supports wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, as well as a standard 12-speaker Bose audio system.

• Starting price: Pricing starts at $43,995 for the FWD Acadia Elevation base model.

If you're buying used today, the 2022 model year offers the best mix of value and availability. If you want the latest tech and features, it may be worth waiting for 2028 inventory to mature.
