Two popular GMC sport utility vehicles were recently celebrated by U.S. News & World Report. The 2026 GMC Acadia secured the award for Best Three-Row Midsize SUV for Families, and the 2026 GMC Yukon XL claimed top honors as the Best Large SUV for Families. In addition to delivering refined comfort and dependable safety, both models offer an exceptionally smooth, responsive ride.
2026 GMC Acadia
U.S. News & World Report highlighted the updated Acadia for its generous passenger accommodations. Second-row occupants enjoy over 41 inches of legroom, while an expansive cargo hold makes everyday errands effortless. Packing sports equipment, travel bags, and daily groceries is remarkably simple. Inside, driver and passengers remain connected via GMC's user-friendly infotainment interface, which centers around a prominent 15.0-inch diagonal display with Google built-in. Standard active safety technologies are extensive, including Enhanced Automatic Emergency Braking, Blind Zone Steering Assist, and a vibrating Safety Alert Seat.
Under the hood, a dynamic 2.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine produces 328 horsepower alongside 326 lb.-ft. of torque. This robust output grants a maximum towing capacity of 5,000 pounds. Families interested in off-road excursions can choose the trail-focused AT4 variant, which introduces a specialized off-road suspension and an Active Torque Control AWD system.
2026 GMC Yukon XL
With its lengthened wheelbase, the full-size Yukon XL is tailored for families desiring premium third-row legroom and maximum cargo versatility. Commanding power allows properly equipped models to tow up to 8,200 pounds, making it effortless to transport recreational boats and trailers. Specialized options, such as Transparent Trailer View, boost driver confidence when hauling heavy loads. Additionally, the adventure-minded Yukon XL AT4 trim comes outfitted to handle challenging terrain.
Even the entry Elevation trim comes loaded with impressive standard equipment. Occupants enjoy heated front and second-row seating, a large 16.8-inch diagonal touchscreen with Google built-in, and an immersive 10-speaker Bose® Surround audio system. GMC further prioritizes family protection by including more than 17 standard safety features.
