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

Consider waiting if:

• Tech: 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.
