Complementing the 100-Point Score on the new consumer-friendly website is a series of Red Blade Ratings that provide a quick, easy-to-digest look into the vehicle data at several touchpoints.
“With nearly 600 models receiving a score of 81 or higher, car shoppers can find a high-quality vehicle on JDPower.com that suits their wants and needs,” said Troy Snyder, Vice President, Consumer Division at J.D. Power. “In addition to the rating scores, car shoppers can see which vehicles won a J.D. Power award by segment, so they can rest assured that they’re making a wise purchase decision.”
The Red Blade Ratings and 100-Point Score are sourced from J.D. Power’s wealth of consumer insight data from studies such as Vehicle Dependability Study (VDS); Customer Satisfaction Index (CSI); Initial Quality Study (IQS); Automotive Performance, Execution and Layout (APEAL); and Sales Satisfaction Index (SSI). These studies reflect more than 3.2 million verified ownership experiences from vehicle models dating from model year 2013 to model year 2018.
