Cars With the Highest Owner Satisfaction
July 31, 2014
Both Hyundai and Porsche owners are the most satisfied with how their vehicles perform, according to the J.D. Power 2014 U.S. Automotive Performance, Execution and Layout (APEAL) StudySM released earlier this month.
Now in its 19th year, the APEAL Study evaluates how owners feel about their vehicle on 77 different attributes, including fuel economy, interior styling, and technology. The points are all added up and measured on a 1,000-point scale.
For the 10th year in a row, Porsche received the highest score of 882 among premium brands. Other high-ranking premium brands included Jaguar (862), Audi (858) and Land Rover (853). As for non-premium brands, Hyundai took the top spot with a score of 804. Also ranked high for non-premium brands were Ram (800), Volkswagen (796) and MINI (795).
Porsche also ranked high when it came to the segment awards, winning three awards for the 911, Boxster and Cayenne. Dodge also won three segment awards for the Challenger, Charger and Dart.
Below is a look at how all manufacturers fared in this year's APEAL Study.
