Folks that are visiting us at the Mid-Missouri Powerhouse definitely have different questions for us when they come to find their ultimate vehicle, and some families have more specific needs than others. We are very proud of all the excellent safety features that you can now find on Chevy cars and trucks, and the many high marks we have gleaned from auto blogs worldwide about the quality of our product line's interior. Last week, Chevrolet was named J.D. Power's most awarded brand of 2017 at the J.D. Power Automotive Summit, where 6 various cars, trucks, and SUVs won a total of nine awards in 3 crucial studies. Vehicle Dependability, Initial Quality, and APEAL Studies were where Chevy vehicles had star-studded performance.
GM North American president Alan Batey claimed that “Chevrolet is winning with consumers because our designers, engineers, and dealers are focused on delivering great products and a great ownership experience”. The Vehicle Dependability Study examines major issues reported by owners of 3-year old vehicles, and ultimately determines which autos are the most reliable. Based on 2014 models, the Chevy Sonic, Camaro, Tahoe, and Silverado HD were deemed among the most reliable in the sector.
The Initial Quality Study does the job of measuring various problems experienced during the first 90 days of ownership. Here, the Silverado, Silverado HD, and Chevy Sonic all were at the top of the list, displaying extreme prowess in excellence throughout the first three months of ownership. This is more of a crucial time during car ownership that some realize: even though autos are expected to perform superbly upon purchase, there are some defects and problems that owners very understandably want to steer away from.
The Automotive Performance, Execution, and Layout Study (APEAL) measures owner's emotional attachment and excitement level across several categories. The Chevy Bolt and Tahoe dominated this segment, proving once again that Chevy owners can “consider their car their best friend”. Led by Chevrolet, GM has delivered 4 straight years of pickup sales leadership of mid and large-size trucks through last year, due to its strong 3-truck strategy. Last year our beloved Tahoe and Suburban accounted for nearly half of large SUVs delivered to all retail customers.
After the all-new Equinox and Traverse were launched, many worldwide agreed that it was the broadest and freshest lineup of crossovers for the last two years. Chevy is now definitely the leader in affordable, long-range Evs, with 43,646 Bolts and Volts delivered over the 2017 year. During the days to come, many will purchase an electric car that had previously never thought of doing so, and we believe that our options are the best on the current market. Product excellence is a trait that we really stand by here at Mid-Missouri Powerhouse, and we are happy to assist you during all steps of the purchase process!
