Model & Year Overview

GMC Acadia 2022

The 2022 Acadia received a meaningful refresh for its final years before the 2024 redesign: the base engine was upgraded from the 2.5L four-cylinder to a 2.0-litre turbocharged four producing 228 horsepower, improving low-end torque for city driving. The 3.6L V6 continues at 310 horsepower on Denali and AT4 trims. The AT4 trim adds two-speed transfer case, 20mm additional ride height, and skid plates — a modest off-road package compared to truck-based AT4s but useful for Canadian gravel driveways and light dirt roads. For families, the Acadia's three-row configuration with available captain's chairs in the second row offers a genuine alternative to minivan convenience. Verify transmission fluid condition on 9-speed automatic units before purchase; the 9T50 unit in this application is sensitive to service intervals.

Frequently Asked Questions

01

What trim levels and prices were available for the 2022 GMC Acadia in Canada?

The 2022 GMC Acadia was offered in Canada in five trim levels: SL (base, around $37,000), SLE (around $43,000), SLT (around $48,000), AT4 (around $49,000), and Denali (around $54,000). Two engine options were available: a turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder producing 228 horsepower (standard on lower trims) and a naturally aspirated 3.6-litre V6 producing 310 horsepower (standard or optional on higher trims). FWD was standard on lower trims, with AWD available across the lineup and standard on AT4 and Denali. The Acadia could seat seven or eight passengers depending on whether the second row featured a bench seat or captain's chairs. The AT4 off-road variant with raised suspension, all-terrain tires, and a locking rear differential differentiated the Acadia from purely highway-oriented rivals like the Honda Pilot.

02

What is the towing capacity of the 2022 GMC Acadia?

The 2022 GMC Acadia equipped with the 3.6-litre V6 and optional trailering package has a maximum towing capacity of 1,587 kg (3,500 lb), while the 2.0T four-cylinder is limited to 907 kg (2,000 lb). These figures are below competitors like the Ford Explorer (2,585 kg) and Chevrolet Traverse (2,268 kg with V6), placing the Acadia as a lighter-duty option for families with modest towing needs. For recreational towing of a small boat under 14 feet, a folding camp trailer, or a single ATV trailer, the Acadia V6 version is adequate. The optional tow package includes a 1 7/8-inch hitch receiver, seven-pin wiring harness, and transmission cooling appropriate for Canadian summer conditions. Buyers who tow regularly or with loads approaching 3,500 lb should consider the Traverse or a truck-based SUV for added safety margin.

03

Is the 2022 GMC Acadia Denali worth its price premium for a Canadian buyer?

The 2022 Acadia Denali, priced around $54,000 in Canada, offered the most complete equipment package in the lineup: perforated leather seating with heating and ventilation, a panoramic sunroof, an 8-speaker Bose audio system, ambient interior lighting, 20-inch alloy wheels, and available surround-view camera. Compared to a similarly priced Ford Explorer Platinum or Kia Telluride SX Prestige, the Acadia Denali holds its own on luxury content but delivers less cargo space than the Telluride. For buyers who place high value on the GMC Denali badge and its premium positioning, or who are loyal to GM products, the Denali justifies its premium. More budget-conscious shoppers may find the Acadia SLT or AT4 trims offer a better dollars-per-feature value, with a $5,000 to $8,000 lower entry point recovering many of the desirable comfort features.
