Lexus Places First in J.D. Power Asia Pacific 2013 China Initial Quality Study

Posted by Kevin on December 17th, 2013

Lexus has tied Mercedes Benz in the J.D. Power Asia Pacific 2013 China Initial Quality Study, with each brand recording only 52 problems per 100 vehicles sold. The industry in China averages 119 problems per 100 vehicles.

The study looks at problems experienced by new vehicle owners in the six months of ownership, dividing those issues into two distinct categories: design-related problems and defects and malfunctions.

The overall score is determined by problems reported per 100 vehicles (PP100) — here’s how the Chinese market performed:

    Oh they hate them for sure, on the basis that it is a JP brand... The animosity runs deep. The fact that Lexus was able to come out on top, esp. in this Japanese-hating country, is an amazing feat. Like you, I'm very skeptical of the rest. I mean Toyota falling below all these European brands as well as the Korean brands....sounds dubious... Hyundai and Kia have terrible quality, If there's one thing I know about Koreans is that they will use whatever means necessary to manipulate their numbers

    what often happens is most ppl dont know lexus is toyota brand. they mistake it for some European brands. These people often just say "i dont know what it is but it looks expensive"
