The biggest loser of the bunch is the Nissan Pathfinder, which managed to find just 8,975 customers. Perhaps this number will grow with the recent addition of the newly-launched Rock Creek model. GMC’s mundane Acadia didn’t fare much better, at 9,336, but perhaps newly added discounts will add some appeal to the aging crossover.
The equally dated Nissan Murano couldn’t quite breach the five-figure mark, with 9,403 examples sold in the first quarter. Interestingly, the other three poorest performing vehicles in this class are all Japanese: the Mazda CX-9 (10,463), Honda Passport (10,474), and the Toyota Venza (10,836). While the Grand Cherokee has proved it is a worthy contender, the plusher (and larger) Grand Wagoneer also performed impressively in the full-size luxury SUV segment. Not as popular as the Escalade, it still sold reasonably well, with 3,169 units shifted during the same period. Jeep will be hoping to make a bigger dent in that market as larger models have just arrived for the new model year.
