Screens and Driver Aids
2027 GMC Acadia Tech and Safety Hot Springs AR
A 15-inch screen with Google built-in on every trim, over 19 standard driver aids, and Super Cruise standard on Denali.
Every 2027 GMC Acadia carries a 15-inch diagonal Premium GMC Infotainment System with Google built-in and Google Gemini, an 11-inch Driver Information Center, the Bose Premium 12-speaker audio system and over 19 safety and driver assistance technologies as standard equipment. Super Cruise hands-free driver assistance moved down the lineup for 2027 and is now standard on the Denali as well as the Denali Ultimate.
That Super Cruise change is the single most consequential thing on this page. It is the equipment that changes a long drive rather than a short one, and it is the reason a commuter should look at a Denali before an AT4.

2027 GMC Acadia Infotainment
The screen is the same on every trim, which is unusual in this class and means the entry car is not the compromised one. The 15-inch diagonal Premium GMC Infotainment System runs Google built-in with Google Gemini, so navigation, media and voice work without a phone connected. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard when you would rather use your own.
In front of the driver sits an 11-inch Driver Information Center. The Bose Premium 12-speaker audio system is standard from the Elevation up, and the Denali Ultimate steps up to the Bose 16-Speaker Performance Series. Denali and Denali Ultimate add a configurable 8-inch Head-Up Display that puts speed and guidance on the windshield.

| 11-inch driver display | Standard | Standard | Standard | Standard |
| Bose audio | 12-speaker | 12-speaker | 12-speaker | 16-speaker |

Super Cruise Hands-Free Driving
Super Cruise lets you take your hands off the wheel on compatible roads while the car steers, accelerates and brakes, with a driver-attention system watching that your eyes stay on the road. GMC publishes over 600,000 miles of compatible roads, which covers the interstate mileage most drivers here actually accumulate.
For 2027 it is standard on the Denali and Denali Ultimate with a three-year OnStar One plan included, and available on the Elevation and AT4 as a $3,670 package. If you drive to Little Rock or Texarkana with any regularity, that is the line item on this page worth the most to you. The run up the Talimena Scenic Drive is the other kind of driving entirely, and the sort you will want your hands on the wheel for anyway.
Standard Driver Assistance on Every 2027 Acadia
Over 19 safety and driver assistance technologies are standard on all four trims, with no package to add and no trim to climb to:
- Enhanced Automatic Emergency Braking
- Front Pedestrian and Bicyclist Braking
- Forward Collision Alert
- Following Distance Indicator
- Blind Zone Steering Assist
- Side Bicyclist Alert
- Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning
- Adaptive Cruise Control
- Intersection Automatic Emergency Braking
- Rear Cross Traffic Braking
- Rear Pedestrian Alert
- Reverse Automatic Braking
- Rear Park Assist
- HD Surround Vision
- Rear Camera Mirror
- Safety Alert Seat
- IntelliBeam
- Traffic Sign Recognition
- Teen Driver
Blind Zone Steering Assist is the one worth calling out for anyone merging into highway traffic: it can turn the wheel firmly if it detects a vehicle in the lane you are moving into, rather than only warning you about it.
Available Driver Assistance and Convenience
Beyond the standard list, the Denali Ultimate adds Enhanced Automatic Parking Assist and Driver Attention Assist. Up to 10 camera views are available across the lineup and the Elevation carries nine, which matters more than it sounds: backing a trailer down a ramp or fitting into a downtown parking deck is a camera problem before it is a driving problem. An AutoSense hands-free power liftgate is available, and remote start is standard on every trim.

The Technology You Want, by How You Drive
If most of your miles are the commute between Benton and Bryant, the standard suite already covers you and the Elevation is fully equipped for it. If you run gravel county roads out toward Mena, the AT4's hardware matters more than any screen. If you drive to Little Rock, Texarkana or El Dorado often enough to know the mile markers, buy the Denali for Super Cruise and stop reading here. And if you want the car to park itself and watch your attention as well, that is the Denali Ultimate.
