GMC Acadia sales during the first quarter of 2022 kept Big Red’s full-size crossover near the bottom of a crowded field of 21 entries in the midsize and full-size mainstream crossover segments.

The midsize and full-size mainstream crossover segment, comprised of crossovers with a starting price in the vicinity of $30,000, contracted 10 percent to 479,491 units during Q1 2022, meaning Acadia sales significantly underperformed the segment average.
The GM Authority Take
GMC Acadia sales again posted a segment-worst decline this quarter due to continuing limited availability as production was disrupted by various shortages, headlined by the ongoing global semiconductor microchip shortage. Production of the crossover started back up at the GM Spring Hill plant in Tennessee in November 2021 after being on-and-off throughout 2021.
A prototype of the upcoming, all-new 2024 GMC Acadia
As it addresses production issues, GM is also preparing an all-new Acadia. As GM Authority was the first to report back in 2020, the Acadia will be reinvented as a larger, full-size crossover along the lines of the first-generation model that ran from the 2007 thru the 2016 (and also in 2017, as the Acadia Limited) model years. In February, our spies caught the automaker testing the next-generation 2024 GMC Acadia in February, followed by a sighting of the 2024 GMC Acadia AT4 prototype in March.
2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee
Both prototypes feature a longer wheelbase over the current, second-generation model that was launched for the 2017 model year. This will make room for a more spacious third-row along with more cargo space. Outside, we expect the Acadia to take on a boxier, more masculine shape inspired by the 2021 and newer GMC Yukon.
Those changes are necessary to enable the Acadia to better compete with newer offerings like the redesigned Jeep Grand Cherokee. But that’s only if GM can build enough of Big Red’s current midsize and future full-size crossover to meet anticipated demand.

Comments
We have had two and loved them.
The problem is not just supply but my local dealers are slapping $3000 market adjustment yo the price. This has made it to where to buy the same Denali we bought in July is not $10,000 more than we paid for the same vehicle.
It’s the oddest thing . . .
When you intentionally Kill your customers, at a certain point sales are going to decline. GM initially thought that they could Kill brands to bolster their beloved Chevrolet, but once Killing gets in the blood, so to speak, GM couldn’t help themselves. Killing became their business model.
After Killing Oldsmobile, Pontiac, Saturn, Opel, SAAB, etc., then switching to Killing Americans, its refreshing to see that GM is once again going after brands like Cadillac.
Glad to see the new Grand Cherokee selling. The Blazer competes against the Cherokee, don’t know why it’s on the list. The same goes for a couple of others. And where is the Buick?
