What is the GMC AT4 Trim? 

The short answer is an optional package that elevates your vehicle to the next level of off-road capability.

All these upgrades are specifically designed for tackling the most challenging conditions and terrain Alberta can offer up. This year, GMC has expanded the AT4 trim to their entire vehicle lineup, including the Acadia! Anyone who finds themselves gravitating toward the Acadia or any one of GMC’s lineup of off-road capable vehicles should definitely check out this fantastic option. 

The Acadia AT4

The Acadia is one of GMC’s most sought after mid-size crossover SUVs due to its balanced combination of practical amenities, rugged style, and performance capability. All this made for an exciting development when it was announced the Acadia would be getting the AT4 treatment. The most notable new features and improvements can be seen in the design and off-road performance capability of this SUV. Read on to learn more!      

Design 

The AT4 trim elevates the Acadia’s already athletic design to new heights. Stronger body lines make for a more rugged, outdoorsy feel and muscular frame. Add some sharp, tapering headlamps and you’ve got a more aggressive look to match the robust performance upgrades. More of the standard AT4 design features include:

  • 17-inch gloss-black painted aluminum wheels for better off-road capability
  • Gloss black roof rails
  • AT4 badging 
  • Black chrome body accents 
  • Black chrome grille
  • AT4 branded leather-appointed front seating

Performance

The standard GMC Acadia comes with either a 2L 4-cylinder engine or a 3.6L V6 but the AT4 trim comes standard with the V6. An Active Torque Control all-wheel-drive system pairs beautifully with this more powerful engine and the Traction Select System enables you to pick your drive mode on the go. Taking it one step further, the AT4 also includes Hill Descent Control with antilock braking and Hill Start Assist. Clearly, GMC is emboldening this SUV with all the tools it needs to conquer the most challenging terrain.
