Industry-Leading Quality in 2025

According to the latest J.D. Power IQS results, Hyundai Motor Group—including Hyundai, Kia, and Genesis—tied for first place overall among all automotive corporations in the 39th edition of this prestigious study, marking the second consecutive year at the top.

• Hyundai ranked first in its brand group, second in mass-market brands, and third overall, a strong endorsement of its vehicles’ initial quality and reliability.

• The Santa Cruz continued its dominance by winning the Midsize Pickup segment for the second year in a row, praised for bold design, excellent versatility, and superior build quality.

• Other standout Hyundai models performed well: the Sonata finished second in the midsize car segment, the Elantra and Palisade each earned third place in their segments, reflecting consistent quality across Hyundai’s lineup.

Why Quality Leads to Confidence for Phoenix Drivers

The J.D. Power IQS ranks brands on problems experienced during the first 90 days of ownership per 100 vehicles (PP100)—a lower number means higher quality. Hyundai’s strong score reflects fewer issues and better craftsmanship, translating into fewer visits to the shop, less inconvenience, and a superior ownership experience.

Hyundai’s focus on manufacturing excellence is evident through recognition of multiple Hyundai Motor Group plants for outstanding build quality. Its emphasis on technological excellence is made clear by its scores in this study. Hyundai dash tech and driver assistance earn high marks for usability and accuracy.  

Even as vehicle technology grows more complex—especially infotainment—the brand shows continuous improvement in problem areas, actively addressing touchscreen and control interface challenges to enhance driver satisfaction.
