GMC Acadia is a medium size crossover SUV (full size in 2007-2016) from GMC. The first generation GMC Acadia shares GM Lambda platform with Chevrolet Traverse, and Buick Enclave. Acadia went on sale in 2006 as a 2007 model in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Acadia replaces three of 7 or 8-seat vehicles on the Pontiac-Buick-GMC dealer network, GMC Safari medium-size van, GMC Envoy, and Pontiac Montana SV6 minivans for the domestic market. In 2009, Lambda vehicles have replaced Buick Rainier, Buick Rendezvous, and Buick Terraza, and after that became GMC Envoy and Chevrolet Trailblazer. The Denali version of Acadia debuted in 2010 as a 2011 model. By 2016, Acadia's second generation is being repositioned as a medium-sized crossover utility vehicle (as a 2017 model) to compete in the growing medium-sized CUV market against the likes of Ford Edge and Dodge Journey.

Acadia has seating for eight and either in front or all-wheel drive. With a towing capacity of 5,200 pounds (2,359 kg), Acadia slot between GMC Terrain and Yukon. Acadia is a Lambda model with intermediate prices between Chevrolet Traverse and Enclave.
In December 2006, all production and sales of Acadia (and Saturn Outlook) were temporarily suspended because the engine mounts had no drilled holes to release the accumulated water, as well as problems with potentially damaged rivets on the load floor just ahead of the rear hatch.
