Doha: In this year’s “Initial Quality Study” by US market research institute JD Power, Porsche came in first in the overall ratings — as it did last year, the company said in a statement.
With an extremely low number of complaints, the Panamera sports sedan was also rated highest among all nameplates in the overall study. Over 86,000 individuals took part in the survey, rating 239 models from 32 manufacturers.
“The acid test is customer satisfaction,” said Matthias Müller, Chairman of the Executive Board of Dr Ing h.c. F Porsche AG. “We are delighted we can meet the high quality demands of Porsche drivers. For us, the ratings are both a confirmation as well as an incentive to continue along our path to quality growth.”
For the first time, Porsche succeeded in gaining top positions in each segment with all four model series. The 911 model managed a hat trick: for the third time in a row, the sports car icon achieved the highest rank in the “Midsize Premium Sporty Car” segment.
The Boxster ranked first in the “Compact Premium Sporty Car” segment again this year, followed closely by the mid-engine coupé, the Cayman.
In addition to its overall victory, the Panamera was rated highest in the “Large Premium Car” class. Compared to the previous year, the Cayenne improved its position by one spot, gaining silver in the “Midsize Premium SUV” segment.
The newest and fifth model line, the Macan, was only launched after the US market study was completed.
From the results of its study, the US market researchers also rated production locations.
