Nissan JD Power Awards

Nissan JD Power Awards: Leading the Industry in Initial Quality

In a recent JD Power study, Nissan beats out other top auto brands to become the highest-rated in the industry for initial quality. Nissan beat out Hyundai, Chevrolet, Honda, Dodge, Kia, Buick, Jeep, Subaru, Ford, and Toyota to become the leading brand across the industry for initial quality, an improvement of five places from the previous year's study. Across all brands, the average number of problems per 100 vehicles was 192, with Nissan landing 23 points below the average automaker. If you are looking for a reliable vehicle with long-term confidence, Nissan is hard to top.

Initial Quality Explained

The JD Power initial quality study focuses on ownership experiences during the first 90 days after purchasing a new vehicle. The study measures problems over 100 vehicles, with Nissan having the lowest number per 100 vehicles among all "Mass-Market competitors". Initial quality studies involve analysis of 223 different problems that can occur with a new vehicle, from infotainment to safety and driver-assistance features, along with overall build quality and comfort. Several Nissan vehicles stand out as the highest-ranked in their class, including new sedans and SUV models, all available in our new inventory at Kline Nissan in Maplewood.

Three Nissan Models Rank Among the Highest in Their Class

The new Nissan Altima ranked highest in the midsize car segment, while the Nissan Sentra was the top-ranked compact car for initial quality. Other Nissan models that ranked in the top three of their respective classes include the Nissan Rogue compact crossover, Nissan Frontier midsize pickup truck, and Nissan Pathfinder three-row midsize SUV. This speaks to Nissan's strength across body styles, as any new model in our lineup will offer long-term reliability for Minnesota drivers. Visit us today to see what we have in stock.
