J.D. Power's Heralded Badge of Most-Awarded Brand Goes to Chevy

Customers that are visiting us here at Chuck Hutton of Memphis definitely have many different questions for us when they come to find their ultimate vehicle, and some individuals have more specific requirements than others. We have been very proud of all the excellent safety features that are now present on Chevy trucks and cars, as well as the high marks gleaned from auto blogs worldwide when reviewing out product line's interior. Last week, Chevrolet was proudly named as J.D. Power's most awarded brand of 2017 during the J.D. Power Automotive Summit, where 6 various cars, trucks, and SUVs won a total of nine awards in 3 crucial studies. Initial Quality, Vehicle Dependability, and APEAL Studies were the areas in which Chevy had front-running 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 plays a major role in determining long-term reliability within the market. Based on models from 2014, the Chevy Sonic, Camaro, Tahoe, and Silverado HD were all deemed the top of the heap as far as reliable in this sector.

The Initial Quality Study completes the task of measuring various problems experienced during the first 90 days of ownership. The Silverado HD, Silverado, and Chevy Sonic all were at the top of this list, displaying all-out mastery of excellence in reliability throughout the first very crucial months of ownership. This is a more important time during the life of a car than some realize: even though autos are expected to perform at a very high level upon purchase, there are some problems and defects that owners are going to want to avoid entirely.

The Automotive Performance, Execution, and Layout Study (APEAL) measures owner's emotional attachment, and how excited owners get about ownership when thinking about their car across several different categories. The Chevy Tahoe and Bolt both dominated this segment entirely, proving once again that Chevy owners have every reason to truly consider their car just as important as their best friend. Led fearlessly and devoutly by Chevrolet, GM has delivered 4 straight years of strong sales leadership of mid and large-size trucks through 2017, due to a very strong 3-truck strategy. Last year our high-ranked Suburban and Tahoe accounted for nearly half of large SUV's delivered to retail customers.

After the Chevy Traverse and Equinox were launched, many worldwide agreed that it stole the claim to the freshest and broadest lineup of crossovers for the last two years. We love to tout that our brand is now undoubtedly the leader in affordable, long-range EVs, with 43,646 Bolts and Volts delivered to happy customers during the 2017 year. In the very near future, there will be many folks who purchase an electric car that had previously never though of doing so, and we believe that we offer the best choices on the current market. One trait we really stand by here at Chuck Hutton of Memphis is product excellence, and we will be happy to assist you during all steps of your 2018 vehicle purchase!
