South Korean automakers Hyundai, Genesis and Kia top this year's J.D. Power Initial Quality Study while brand's like Jaguar, Land Rover and Volvo were  ranked at the bottom of the list.

The top position of Hyundai’s luxury sub-brand, Genesis, means it had 68 problems recorded for every 100 vehicles while Land Rover had 160 problems for every 100 vehicles in the first 90 days of ownership



The study examines problems experienced by original vehicle owners during the first 90 days of ownership. A vehicle’s ‘initial quality’ is then determined by recording the number of problems a certain model experiences per 100 vehicles (PP100). The lower score, the higher the vehicle’s initial quality is.

J.D. Power's vice president of global automotive says:

“There’s no question that most automakers are doing a great job of listening to consumers and are producing vehicle quality of the highest caliber,”

“That said, some vehicle owners are still finding problems. As vehicles become more complex and automated, it is critical that consumers have complete confidence in automakers’ ability to deliver fault-free vehicles.”

The Porsche 911's position as the highest-rated model means they had the lowest number of overall problems this year .

Brands such as Rolls Royce, Bentley,Tesla, Alfa Romeo, Fiat, Ferrari,Maserati and Smart were not included because of their limited number of customers.

Auto experts reviews are not to be too trusted. Users reviews are better relied on.

Same person different monikers.

Korean and American brands on the tops


But Japanese and Germans brands no go let us hear word

Not suprised, for the past couple of years, kia and hyundai have been topping the jd initial quality.

Like mentioned, this is for "initial quality". 10 years after, more toyotas manufactured at the same time as the kia would still be on the road.

Don't think it has to do with age but volume of sales.

Like the OP stated, brands like Rose Royce , Bentley and Ferrari didn't make the list due to low volume of sales

One thing I have understood about Nigerians is that, we prefer products that parts are available and cheap (at least according to the technicians/mechanics) than the ones that don't break down

Eg
In laptops
HP is better even when the most repaired laptop within a year of ownership is HP

In cars
Toyota Corolla, just because the parts are cheaper notwithstanding the fact that some cars don't even no replacement of parts for more than 3 years

In Phones
Infinix, just because the screen and other parts are easier and cheaper to replace (and good camera)

Yours is a typical example of an unyielding mindset. The world is moving, things are changing but many people fail to see it and many refuse to believe it.

So mek I dump my Camry for KIA Rio eekwa? Iffa slap JD Power CEO eeh, his brain go reset.
