For the fourth consecutive year, Genesis ranked first among all premium automotive brands in J.D. Power’s 2020 U.S. Initial Quality Survey (IQS).
As the top premium brand in the survey, Genesis vehicle owners experienced 17 fewer problems per 100 vehicles than the second-place brand and 24 fewer problems per 100 vehicles than the average according to 2020 new car owners responding to the J.D. Power survey.
“To be recognized even once as the No. 1 premium brand in the J.D. Power Initial Quality Survey is a great achievement,” said Mark Del Rosso, President and CEO of Genesis Motor North America.
“But to be recognized as the top premium brand for the fourth consecutive year is simply phenomenal.
Genesis continues to rank well above competing premium brands. We are thrilled with the results and remain fully committed to providing a personalized luxury experience for all of our clients.”
The G70 2020, with a score of 129 PP100, is the No. 1 premium compact car for the second year in a row, 32 PP100 less than the No. 2 premium compact car and 45 PP100 less than the average in the premium compact segment.
The G80 2020, in its final year of production, ranked second in the premium upper-midsize segment with a score of 164 PP100, 13 PP100 below the segment average of 177 PP100.
The new 2020 G90, launched in 2019, did not generate enough responses to the J.D. Power survey to post a statistically valid score.
J.D. Power’s annual IQS survey is the industry benchmark for new vehicle quality after 90 days of ownership.
The 2020 survey – based on responses from buyers and lessees of a new 2020 model year vehicle in the United States – is designed to provide manufacturers with information that allows them to easily identify problems and improve their products.
