Connectivity is non-negotiable for today’s drivers, and the GMC Acadia infotainment system takes it seriously. This midsize SUV’s infotainment system is one of its most talked-about, most exciting features, delivering a premium experience in every trim level. Whether you're running errands around Poughkeepsie, commuting further across New York, or taking a longer road trip, having an intuitive, well-connected cabin can make a real difference in how you experience the drive. If you're exploring your new SUV options, here's a closer look at what the Acadia's technology setup has to offer. What Is the GMC Acadia Infotainment System? Few vehicles can compete with the GMC Acadia’s connectivity setup. Every trim features a massive 15” Premium GMCA Infotainment System touchscreen paired with an 11” Driver Information Center. This serves as the command center for audio, navigation, smartphone connectivity, and much more. The system is designed to be straightforward to use, with clear menus and responsive inputs so you're not fumbling around while driving. The GMC Acadia infotainment system wirelessly supports both Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, which means you can mirror your smartphone's apps and interface directly on the screen. You’ll be able to get your playlists, make calls, send messages, and get navigation without picking up your phone. But that’s just the beginning. GMC Acadia Infotainment Features that Set It Apart The real highlight of the Premium GMC Infotainment System in the Acadia is that it runs on Google built-in. With Google built-in, you get access to Google Maps, Google Play for music and apps, and the ever-convenient Google Assistant, which can do everything from sending texts to managing your calendar—all without needing to connect your phone. That means faster route updates, hands-free voice commands, and access to apps you already use. Wireless charging also comes standard, so you stay powered up and your cabin stays clear of cable clutter. A built-in Wi-Fi® hotspot adds another layer of convenience, letting passengers connect multiple devices on the go. Keeping Everyone Connected and Entertained For families or anyone who regularly carries passengers, the Acadia's infotainment setup goes beyond the front row. Depending on the trim, available rear-seat entertainment options help keep back-seat riders occupied on longer drives. The GMC Acadia infotainment system also gets you SiriusXM™ satellite radio, giving you access to a wide range of stations no matter where the road takes you. Combined with the standard 12-speaker Bose® premium audio system, and your drive is connected and immersive in every way. Connectivity and Driver Assistance Technology The Acadia pairs its GMC Acadia infotainment features with a long list of standard driver assistance technologies that appear on the touchscreen display. Over 19 standard safety systems are included on all trims, with more available. Every trim is equipped with awareness-enhancing features like HD Surround Vision, Following Distance Indicator, and a Rear Camera Mirror. Multiple systems work together to guide and alert you, and step in when you need it most. Enhanced Automatic Emergency Braking, Lane Keep Assist, Reverse Automatic Braking, Blind Zone Steering Assist, and Front Pedestrian and Bicyclist Braking are just some of the standard features on every trim. Alerts and the HD Surround Vision camera views around your vehicle are displayed through the infotainment interface. An available Head-Up Display can even project information like Road Sign Assist alerts right onto your windshield. OnStar® connectivity also ties into the system, offering emergency services, turn-by-turn navigation, and remote vehicle access through the myGMC app on your smartphone. Is the GMC Acadia a Good Fit for You? If technology and ease of use are high on your priority list, the GMC Acadia’s infotainment system is unparalleled among midsize SUVs.
