AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)06/23 Report--

According to foreign media reports, J.D.Power, a US market research institution, released a research report on the quality of new cars in the United States in 2019. Korean brand Hyundai's Gaines, Kia and Hyundai respectively ranked in the top three with the least problems, which is also the top three Korean brands after occupying the top three in the list of new car quality in 2018.

J.D.Power 's new car quality report is the relatively authoritative data we can get about car quality. The data source of the report is the number of failures of 100 new cars in 90 days, and this year's new car quality report in the United States is obviously a big change from previous years.

According to the 2019 New car quality Research report, 76256 owners and renters of 2019 models were surveyed on eight types of models from February to the end of May.

According to the list, the quality of new cars of Mercedes-Benz, BMW and Audi are not even up to the average in the industry, while Toyota and Lexus, which have long been known for their reputation for quality, are also excluded from the top five. Porsche's new car quality has fallen off a cliff, from fourth place in 2018 to 16th place. Without exception, the mainstream car companies have fallen below the average, which surprised many people in the industry.

Korean brands Gaines, Kia and Hyundai are again in the top three this year after occupying the top three on the new car quality list in 2018. Among them, the Gaines brand topped the list with 63 problems per 100 new cars, up from 68 last year, while Kia (70) and Hyundai (71) were also slightly better than last year. Also in the top 10 are Ford, Lincoln, Chevrolet, Nissan, Dodge, Lexus and Toyota.

As for the Korean brand continues to be at the top of the list, J.D. Power Global Automotive Vice President Dave Sargent said that there are several fundamental reasons. "Korean brands are very good at accurately understanding consumers' needs for cars and directly meet their needs, and nothing else will distract consumers. They provide the basic functions that consumers want and make the technology very easy to understand and use. "

Of course, we have some doubts about this year's J.D.Power two-day list of new cars in the United States. Ford, a native American car brand, and Lincoln, its luxury brand, have made it into the top five. You know, Ford has struggled to make it into the top 10 for many years.

The overall reliability of Toyota and its luxury brand Lexus is still excellent, comparable to the Dodge brand in terms of 100-car failure rate. As one of the most popular car brands in the United States, Toyota's main advantage is reliability.

In this year's J.D.Power US new car quality report, the worst brands are still Land Rover and Jaguar, which is basically true. Among the luxury brands around the world, Jaguar Land Rover is a worker with poor reliability and many glitches.

In fact, the J.D.Power list is only used as a reference. Although there are many differences between new cars in the American market and new cars in China, it can directly reflect the manufacturer's production technology and the advantages and disadvantages of the quality control system. Lexus, for example, has good brands in the American market and is famous for its quality in Europe, Asia and other regions, while Land Rover and Jaguar tend to import products. The reputation of quality is not very good in many places.
