GMC Acadia sales decreased 11.83 percent to 25,128 units in the fourth quarter of 2018. The decrease is somewhat concerning given the current market trends, which strongly favor CUVs, SUVs and pickups over other body styles, such as sedans. So in what could potentially be a way to reverse the downward trend observed in Q4, a new GMC discount takes 19 percent off MSRP of select Acadia models.
Incentives
Nationwide GMC discounts on the Acadia for January 2019 are as follows:
- 2019 Acadia: 19 percent below MSRP on select oldest vehicles in stock
For reference, here are the applicable 2019 Acadia trim levels and their corresponding starting MSRPs:
- SL – $30,195
- SLE-1 – $33,995
- SLE-2Â – $36,395
- SLT-1Â – $39,195
- SLT-2Â – $43,095
- Denali – $46,695
When applying the 19 percent GMC discount to a select 2019 Acadia SLT-1 AWD, the starting price of the midsize crossover is reduced by $8,354 thanks to $1,807 price reduction and a $6,547 purchase allowance, per the example below.

About GMC Acadia
The GMC Acadia is a mid-size crossover utility vehicle (CUV). It is the largest GMC crossover currently offered, slotting above the compact GMC Terrain.
The current model was introduced for the 2017 model year and represents the second generation of the Acadia nameplate. It rides on the GM C1 platform shared with the Cadillac XT5. It is expected that the upcoming, future Chevrolet Blazer will ride on the same platform. Meanwhile, the second-generation Chevrolet Traverse and Buick Enclave use a longer-wheelbase variant of the same architecture.
Compared to its first-generation predecessor, the second-gen Acadia is an all-new vehicle that is one size segment smaller, while also being sleeker, more modern, more tech-laden and much lighter. Despite its smaller size, the second-gen Acadia manages to retain three rows of seating and generous cargo space.
For the 2018 model year, the Acadia got a new color, automatic heated steering wheel in place of the manual heated steering wheel, Tire Fill Alert, some new wheels on the SLT-1 All Terrain model, as well as broader availability of the 3.6L V-6 engine and All-Terrain package.
For the 2019 model year, the Acadia receives several new colors, Express Up and Down window controls for the driver's-side controls as standard on the SLE-2 and SLT-1 trims, the expanded availability of the Ebony interior color with the All-Terrain package on the SLT trim level and the introduction of the Acadia Black Edition.
The Acadia Black Edition was introduced for the 2019 model year
A midcycle refresh arrives for the 2020 model year that delivers updated styling, the new GM 9-speed automatic transmission, a new turbo-charged 2.0L I-4 LSY engine, a new AT4 model that replaces the Acadia All Terrain, interior updates, and various other improvements.
The GMC Acadia is built exclusively at the GM Spring Hill factory in Tennessee operated by GM USA.

There’s a reason that there’s a few ACADIA’s and Terrain’s out there. Most of the units I have located have horrible colors or options. Most big dealers have just one or two of these specials. When I did locate something close, the stocking dealer wouldn’t dealer trade the special offer model.
The rebate offer is a joke. The $1000 Finance with GM is a scam since even with a FICO score of 800 the interest rate is over 7%……
I have purchased over 100 new GM vehicles in my lifetime. GM is just becoming a grab all you can get by deceiving the customer company.
Sell this stuff to the people that don’t read the fine print…………that’s now your target audience….
This message typed by a real person………..
You have purchased “over 100 new GM vehicles in [your] lifetime”….. If what you are saying is true, you’re really rich with an abundance of parking space, an idiot, a liar, or some combination thereof. I’d play the odd’s on what you’re saying to be untrue, but if it is in fact somehow true, then maybe guys like you need to start reading the fine print. With that, in terms of your hypothesized target market – takes on to know one apparently.
If the perceived value you’re looking for in a vehicle isn’t worth the money you’re about to spend, then DON’T BUY IT. Yes, they dropped the price of the Acadia for a multitude of factors such as the landing of an arguably better model like the Blazer, the growing age of the present generation Acadia, more tech offered in competitive models, etc. They drop the price to capture back that perceived value and take back some slack from the competition until such a time that the model will be updated and packed with new tech, better looks, and more perceived value.
Simple economics and marketing pal, take the time to think it through objectively.
Hey Luke,
I’m giving you the facts……..I’m not some Ford Troll. I’m 72, do the math. While I was working, I put high miles on my GM cars and traded them every two years. I always had more than two GM cars in my driveway to include a classic Camaro’s and Corvette’s that are in my total purchases.. I was fortunate to have the money to buy at the right time. My 2016 Impala was bought during a special Chevy had for a two week period. The car had a sticker of $40K, but I paid $32K with the 25% rebate. Remember, when I trade in the Impala, the dealership will say…..well that was a $32K car. I feel bad for the person who bought one a sticker or with a minimal rebate.
I’m not a guy like you, I presume you are the guy that tells the salesman that you can’t spend over $500 per month………Go ahead take out that 72 month loan and be upside down on your value in a couple of years. The dealers love people like you who buy the information they splash on the screen………believe me these GM vehicles are marginal and way overpriced. Buy your car with your smart phone………..tell me how that works out if you have a trade,
BTW……….I do read the fine print……….
I continually tell my friends that you can’t buy a GM car or truck just because it’s a nice sunny day. You must do continual research to keep ahead of the gimmicks that GM uses.
Ever wonder why the Honda CRV is a top seller with hardly any rebate? Yes, they are good and Honda doesn’t play the rebate offers like GM
In my case, GM may have lost a good customer……….
In some ways, I couldn’t agree with you more. Yes, most vehicles are packed with margins that afford the factory to continually innovate, research, develop, and pays to keep the lights on with a rainy day fund just in case the economy were to repeat what happened in 2008. I do apologize for making generalizations about you, but still, 100 total vehicles for the average folk seems rather unbelievable. I would like to point out that I’m not the guy you think me to be, I’m a Commerce Graduate with a Major in Marketing and Management that works in the auto industry due to my life long passion for anything with an engine. To that effect I understand equity and depreciation and while I would much rather deal with somebody face to face I understand the incredible capabilities of a smartphone which allows for an incredible amount of research to be done at your fingertips, a combination of both face-to-face communication and the information available from a smartphone can make somebody who wields them both a force to be reckoned with.
The CRV is a completely different story, with a somewhat ‘cult’ following (and I use that loosely), it is a market leader for the fact that it remains relatively unchanged over the years allowing for greater efficiency production wise with little need to mass market it, which in turn allows for it to be sold for a market leading low price but sacrifices the ability to put any large rebates on it. GM on the other hand has models that are updated far more often, don’t have the same means of production efficiency wise, and are often technological leaders shown by GM’s continuous examples of being first movers on mass production vehicles – for that reason a larger markup is required to fund the research, production, and any unintended consequences of advancing technologically like they do. Although you may think that you are comparing apples to apples there, to me that seems more a question of apples to oranges. So I say wait for those rebates and the good deals you know are out there; don’t be deterred because some people are uneducated buyers and pay full MSRP when you know full well that there are better deals to be had – the innovation and technological leaps that GM has a history of making is worth the patience.
Thanks for the update. Unless you are too busy to chase the deal……….you pay top buck. On any one day I can stop by GM dealerships and find a $2K-3K difference in trade in value. If you are a repeat customer, it gets worse. They think you are a shoe-in!
I have a Master’s in Mathematics and a five dollar calculator. I know when I’m being taken with the tactics of sales people.
I still believe that GM vehicles are way overpriced. Even a slow kid can figure out that GM raised the prices and then cut them back with rebates. If this wasn’t true then why do we have 72 month loans……………
And yes, I did buy a new 1973 VEGA GT………….I’m old! Nice talking to you!!!
