Just one glance, and you know this isn’t the usual Acadia. The front grille wears GMC’s bold Vader Chrome like a suit of armor, glinting in the sun, while the animated LED lights wink awake when you approach. Exclusive Denali Ultimate badging and massive 22-inch wheels give the SUV real presence, like it’s ready for a night out downtown or a cross-country adventure. And yeah, those wheels? They’re finished in “After Midnight Metallic”, could they sound any cooler?

Acadia Luxury
Open the door, and the first thing you notice is just how much light pours in from the enormous panoramic sunroof. The vibe inside is more “posh lounge” than “school bus.” You sink into plush, heated (and ventilated!) seats, tap the crystal-clear head-up display, and cue up the perfect drive playlist. The 16-speaker Bose system? It can transform rush hour into a private concert, seriously, you might find yourself lingering in the driveway just to finish a song.

Every inch feels well thought out, from the brushed metal accents to the cleverly-organized storage and soft-touch finishes. GMC gets that luxury means more than just fancy materials; it’s about making everyday life feel easy, relaxing, and just a little indulgent.
