Based on the responses of 84,165 owners who were surveyed after 90 days of ownership of new 2022 model-year vehicles, the U.S. TXI Study analyzed 35 automotive technologies divided across four categories: convenience, emerging automation, energy and sustainability, and infotainment and connectivity. The study measures how effectively each automotive brand brings technologies to market, measured on a 1,000-point scale. According to Steve Center, COO and EVP, Kia America:
“Kia is still beaming over its impressive rankings in the J.D. Power VDS and APEAL studies, and being recognized among the most innovative brands cements Kia’s status as a universal leader in the industry. With such high customer satisfaction in a variety of areas including design, dependability, and now innovation, we will not rest on our laurels and will continue to drive forward in all areas of development.”
The study’s findings demonstrate the dedication not just to technological innovation, but to reliability and customer satisfaction, across all three automotive brands of Hyundai Motor Group of South Korea.
