Edmunds.com names full-size crossover to top of its class
 

DETROIT – The 2012 GMC Acadia has the “Best Retained Value” for SUVsbetween $35,000 and $45,000 according to the consumer automotive research website Edmunds.com.

Retained value is defined as the projected residual value of a vehicle after five years of ownership, expressed as a percentage of the Edmunds “True Market Value” when sold new. Acadia should expect a 5-year-old vehicle to maintain 46 percent of its original cost.

“This accolade from Edmunds verifies what many of our customers already know – that GMC vehicles continue to deliver great value,” said Brian Sweeney, U.S. vice president of Buick GMC Sales and Service.
Acadia had its best sales year ever in 2011, with sales up 16 percent compared with 2010. Through its life, nearly half of the crossover’s customers have been buyers new to General Motors.
