As GMC’s midsize SUV, the 2022 Acadia can seat either six or seven passengers depending on how you configure the second row. With a second-row bench, your capacity is seven people, but this is reduced to six with the added luxury provided by captain’s chairs.

The base Acadia features cloth upholstery in the cabin. The front two rows offer ample headroom and legroom for passengers of all sizes. Even the third row is suitable for adult passengers to ride on short trips, and for kids or teenagers on longer drives. If you need to install kids’ chairs, you’ll find two sets of LATCH connectors on the outermost seats in the second row, as well as tether anchors in the third row.

Cargo Storage

If you’re carrying a full cabin of passengers, you’ll find 12.8 cubic feet of storage behind the third row. That’s enough to carry your family’s groceries or a few larger luggage bags.

In case you need to haul some larger items, you can open up over 41 cubic feet of storage with the third row of seats folded down. The Acadia’s cargo-carrying capacity maxes out at 79 cubic feet with both rear rows folded flat.

Beyond its cargo storage options in the cabin, the Acadia can tow up to 4,000 pounds at the rear. That’s more than enough for a modest-sized camper or boat for a vacation trip.

Infotainment and Technology

You can control the Acadia’s wide range of entertainment features through an 8-inch screen and listen to your favorite music through a six-speaker stereo. Other standard infotainment features include Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, which allow you to link your smartphone with the Acadia’s screen.

The Acadia is equipped with a number of additional connectivity features. These include Bluetooth, a wireless hot spot, and several USB ports. You can upgrade to wireless device charging so it’s even easier to keep your devices fully charged while you’re on the go.

Another useful infotainment upgrade is the rear-seat entertainment system. This system provides rear-seat passengers with their own entertainment screen so they can select music or videos to watch during the drive. It’s an ideal option if you want something to keep your kids occupied.

Driver Assistance and Safety

On top of a roomy cabin and extensive entertainment offerings, the Acadia comes with a long list of standard driver safety features. Forward collision warning paired with pedestrian detection enable the Acadia to alert you when an obstacle is detected up ahead. If you fail to take evasive action soon enough, the automatic emergency braking system kicks in to bring your SUV to a stop.

Parking assistance is provided by front and rear parking sensors, and a rear cross traffic alert feature that alerts you when vehicles approach from the side while you’re in reverse. There are also several features suited to support highway driving, such as lane keep assist and lane departure warning. Teen Driver allows you to set speed limits and impose other restrictions on how your Acadia is used to help young drivers learn safely.

You can select from several optional features to experience GMC’s full range of driver safety technology. The surround-view parking camera displays an aerial view of your Acadia so that you can maneuver into a parking spot while monitoring potential threats from all angles. Adaptive cruise control keeps track of the distance between your Acadia and other vehicles up ahead on the highway, and adjusts your speed to ensure a steady drive.

Trims

There are four trims to choose from in the Acadia’s 2022 lineup, and they all come with unique aspects to their interior features. The four trims are SLE, SLT, AT4, and Denali.

The base SLE trim has cloth upholstery, the standard infotainment setup, and  a tri-zone climate control system. If you opt for the Driver Convenience package, you can add a power-adjustable driver’s seat and heated front seats. Another optional upgrade package gives you access to an eight-speaker premium stereo and a navigation system.

The SLT trim adds a bit more luxury to the cabin with leather upholstery. The optional upgrades included in the Driver Convenience package come standard in the SLT. You can opt for some optional add-ons, including a power-adjustable passenger’s seat, ventilated front seats, a heated steering wheel, and heated rear seats.

The AT4 trim is the Acadia’s off-roading specialist. It features premium cloth upholstery, which makes it easier for you to clean the cabin after you and your passengers have tackled the outdoors.

The Denali is GMC’s top-of-the-line offering for the Acadia. Leather upholstery returns in this trim, and all the optional upgrades offered in the SLT trim come standard in the Denali. If you’re interested in the optional upgrades, you can add a sunroof and the surround-view parking camera.
