Hyundai cars are more reliable than BMW and Toyota. Research results
Agency J.D. Power and Associates has a rating of the most reliable and high -quality automobile brands.
The rating was compiled on the basis of a survey conducted in which car owners participated, who acquired their “brainchild” at least 3 months ago.
For four months, from February to May, more than 86 thousand were interviewed. car owners. Experts learned from the respondents whether there were breakdowns at their cars in the first quarter of the year after the purchase. Thus, the researchers received a kind of quality index, that is, the number of breakdowns, even the smallest for a hundred cars. Why are the breakdowns taken into account in the first months after the acquisition of the car? Experts believe that it is at this time that the greatest malfunctions arise among car brands with a world name.
As follows from the results of the study, the “three” of the most reliable cars is headed by Porsche – 26 out of 100 cars, based on the quality index, did not break in the first 3 months after the acquisition. The second place is for Jaguar, it has 13 breakdowns more, the third is Lexus, in the Japanese auto giant there are 92 breakdowns per 100 cars. It is not surprising that all 4 places remained behind the stamps for which the conveyor is not a priority, especially Jaguar.
Further in the ranking there are cars that are on the market more than three of the above. So, the fourth place for Hyundai is only 2 breakdowns more than Lexus. Then there are cars with a negative quality index, t.e. For all car owners surveyed, they broke during the first three months. So, in fifth place Toyota, quite a bit of it lagged behind Chevrolet. The top ten also included Kia, Honda and BMW. It is noteworthy that the German auto giant was only in eighth place, losing all the Japanese and Korean leaders of automobile construction.
As assured in the agency, the rating was based on the reliability of cars in the first 3 months after the purchase. This rating can be pretty rolled over if the survey is carried out on the basis of car behavior after a year of operation, or even more. Researchers advised to acquire models of cars that managed to prove themselves in the market, while taking into account various ratings and opinions of car owners.
