The GM Authority Take
The continued sales growth of the Acadia in 2017 shows that the all-new, second-generation Acadia lands right in the sweet spot of the crossover space more so than the first-generation model, most likely as a result of being a size smaller and thereby appealing to a broader potential customer base compared to its much larger predecessor. In fact, the sales performance of the new Acadia makes us conclude that GM bet big on making the second-gen Acadia smaller, and that the bet is paying off, as sales are up 44 percent in the first seven months of the year.
That said, the Acadia is achieving these impressive numbers with some fairly heavy incentives. The brand was offering nearly $7,000 in incentives on select models of the crossover in July.
Going forward, we expect Acadia sales to continue climbing thanks to various factors working in its favor, including the ongoing shift in consumer vehicle buying dynamics that favor crossovers (at the expense of other vehicle types, like sedans and coupes) as well as the transition of the second-generation model from a full-size to a mid-size CUV.

What the GMC Acadia needs is another engine.. especially for the Denali model is a 400 horsepower LGW twin-turbocharged 3.0L DOHC-4v V6 would be perfect and might be capable of the same mileage as the LGX 310 hp 3.6L DOHC-4v V6 as it wouldn’t need to work as hard on acceleration.
Yeah, it really needs at least 350 hp. I drove one and, despite being hundreds of pounds lighter than my 2009 Buick Enclave, I didn’t find the acceleration to be significantly better. I don’t see why some CUV manufacturer doesn’t slip a small, normally aspirated V8 into a mid-sized model, somewhere around 4.0 liter displacement. This would allow the engine to be much simpler, without all the additional plumbing and parts that are necessary with a turbo engine.
