There are two editions for 2023: the Elevation Edition and the Denali Black Diamond Edition. Each edition adds a spin to the standard Acadia, adding aspects like blacked-out features and an enhanced technology package.

What’s New in 2023

Overall, the Acadia didn’t receive any major updates this year. Instead, GMC decided to focus on the minutiae of this great SUV, focusing on fine-tuning and updating minor features. There are three new exterior colors: Ultra Blue Metallic, Sterling Metallic, and Volcanic Red Tintcoat.

Each trim comes with an eight-inch infotainment system, and the SLT, AT4, and Denali trims have the added capability of navigation. The SLT, AT4, and Denali also have an eight-way power driver seat, allowing you to find your ideal driving position. A Premium Bose eight-speaker system comes standard this year, except on the SLE trim. Each trim also comes with an HD rear vision camera, making backing up in tight spaces a breeze.
