Lexus is Most Dependable Vehicle for Seventh Consecutive Year

Lexus is Most Dependable Vehicle for Seventh Consecutive Year! Recently, J.D. Power released the results of their J.D. Power U.S. Vehicle Dependability Study (VDS) and Lexus ranked highest among all the luxury models for the seventh consecutive year. Beyond this honor, four Lexus models were recognized as segment award winners. For Lexus, the RX earned its ninth VDS award; the GS earned its sixth VDS award; and the ES earned the Compact Premium Car award for the seventh straight year.

The study, now in its 29^th year, measures the number of problems experienced per 100 vehicles (PP100) during the past 12 months by original owners of 2015 model-year vehicles. The study covers 177 specific problems grouped into eight major vehicle categories. A lower score reflects higher quality and the overall industry average improved by 14 PP100 to 142 PP100 from 156 PP100 in 2017.

“For the most part, automotive manufacturers continue to meet consumers’ vehicle dependability expectations,” said Dave Sargent, Vice President, Global Automotive at J.D. Power. “A 9% improvement is extremely impressive, and vehicle dependability is, without question, at its best level ever. For people looking for a new or used model, now is a good time to find that special vehicle.”
