Does the 2025 GMC Acadia receive a full redesign and what are the key updates for the Canadian market?
The 2025 GMC Acadia benefits from a major generational redesign, moving to the VSS-S (Variable Space Scalable) platform also used by the Chevrolet Traverse. Exterior dimensions grow considerably: length increases to 4,997 mm (from 4,815 mm on the outgoing model), wheelbase extends to 2,946 mm, delivering meaningfully more interior space for Canadian families. The new base engine is a 2.5L turbocharged four-cylinder producing 228 hp (replacing the outgoing 2.0T), while the 3.6L V6 (265 hp) carries over on upper trims. The Acadia AT4 — with raised suspension and all-wheel drive — returns for 2025, ideal for the unpaved back roads of Western Canada. Canadian pricing starts at approximately $50,000 CAD for the SLE two-wheel drive, with a well-equipped AT4 surpassing $64,000 CAD. GMC Canada provides a 3-year/60,000 km limited warranty and a 5-year/100,000 km powertrain warranty — standard for the segment, though shorter than Genesis. Destination charges in Canada are approximately $1,895 CAD.
