What do the Acadia Elevation, AT4 and Denali trims each offer?

The Elevation starts at $43,800, the AT4 at $52,500 and the Denali at $55,900, a $3,400 step from AT4 to Denali on the starting price before tax, title and fees. The Elevation also lists 326 lb-ft of torque.

Start by choosing the trim whose starting price fits your budget, then price that trim with the state charges covered next. We sell new Acadias at Group 1 Buick GMC North, so you can ask about each trim in one visit.

Group 1 Buick GMC North is at 11300 FM 1960 West, Houston, TX 77065, on the FM 1960 corridor near Willowbrook and Cypress. We sell new, used and certified pre-owned Buick and GMC vehicles, with service, parts and financing on site. We are part of Group 1 Automotive.

What fees and taxes come on top of an Acadia’s price in Houston?

Ask for an itemized out-the-door quote that lists the vehicle price, sales tax, title and license, and any dealer fees. For a car or light pickup, the state registration charge is $51.75, made up of the $50.75 base fee and $1 for TexasSure, and a $4.75 processing and handling fee is added on top (Texas Department of Motor Vehicles, 2026). County fees, set by each county’s Commissioners Court, run from $0 to $31.50, so check which county the car will be registered in.

Every figure in this example is hypothetical. Say a Denali is quoted at its $55,900 starting price. The two state lines would add $56.50 together, $51.75 for registration and $4.75 for processing, before county fees and any dealer fee.

In a July 2026 Google review, Alex H. wrote: “Devin was knowledgeable, straightforward, and never once made us feel pressured. He respected that we wanted to take our time, answered all of our questions, and made the whole process easy. Hector in finance was just as great. He explained the warranty options, didn’t push products we weren’t interested in, and even gave us his cell number in case we had any questions during our Arizona registration process.”
