The 2022 Acadia presents you with a choice between two powertrains — the standard turbo four-cylinder and a V6 that makes just slightly more torque than the V6 of the Traverse. If fuel efficiency is one of your top considerations as you shop for a new SUV, the GMC Acadia is a clear winner here, as the standard four-cylinder engine gets better city and highway MPG than the Traverse. Tow up to 4,000 pounds with the Acadia or 5,000 pounds with the Traverse.
Plan on trekking over rugged terrain? The 2022 Acadia AT4 is uniquely equipped with active torque control all-wheel drive (AWD) that’s specifically suited to tackle those low-traction situations.

| Traverse | 3.6L V6 | 310 HP | 266 lb.-ft. | 18 city / 27 hwy |
Adaptable, spacious, and comfortable, the cabins on the Acadia and Traverse are ideal for modern drivers. Your choice of a second-row bench or captain’s chairs will determine whether you can accommodate six or seven passengers in the Acadia or either seven or eight in the Traverse. The difference in seating capacity comes from the three-passenger third-row bench seat in the Traverse versus the two-passenger third-row bench seat of the Acadia. Behind the first row, the Traverse has up to 98.2 cubic feet of cargo volume while the Acadia provides up to 79 cubic feet of cargo space.
At the top of their respective trim lineups, the Acadia and Traverse are both outfitted with plush leather upholstery and power-adjustable front seats. Depending on when they were built, the Acadia Denali and Traverse High Country may also be equipped with heated and ventilated front seats.
