The GM Authority Take

The Acadia’s stellar sales performance in March shows that the midsize crossover lands at an even better sweet spot than its full-size, first-generation predecessor, most likely as a result of appealing to a broader potential customer base compared to its predecessor.

It will be interesting to monitor the Acadia’s sales performance into the 2017 calendar year, but we expect that the vehicle will continue to post sales volume growth in the months ahead thanks to various factors playing in its favor, including consumers’ love affair with crossovers (at the expense of other vehicle types, like sedans and coupes) as well as the Acadia’s transition from the full-size into the mid-size CUV segment.
