- 6-way power passenger seat adjustment
- Passenger power lumbar seat adjustment

If you equip your Acadia with the Elevation Premium Package and the Black Edition your 20” wheels will be replaced by 22-inch Gloss Black aluminum wheels.
The Elevation Premium Package gives you a great way to transport a family of 7 folks in luxury and style.

Maximizing Cargo Space with the 2025 Acadia SUV
It’s important to consider SUVs with the most space for people and cargo, and the 2025 Acadia does not disappoint folks near Columbia who need flexibility from their utility vehicle.
The Acadia can seat a maximum of 8 passengers in pure luxury and comfort, although many Acadias will be configured with captain’s chairs (or bucket seats) in the second row which puts passenger capacity at a maximum of 7.
The Acadia shines as an SUV with the most cargo space thanks to its maximum cargo volume of a massive 97.5 cubic feet with the second and third rows of seats folded flat.
There’s still 57.3 cubic feet of cargo storage flexibility with the second-row seats left upright, and 23 cubic feet when all three rows of seats are available for passengers.
Those cubic footage numbers can be hard to visualize, and we encourage you to come see for yourself just how much cargo can fit in an Acadia.
Call us today and we’ll show you just how much can fit in 97.5 cubic feet of storage volume.
