Topping the class for overall dependability for the small car class in the latest J.D Power study was the Peugeot 208, with a rating 15 per cent better than the industry average.
Beating out the luxury marques for the third year running, the Peugeot 208 has outperformed the rest of the field.
Peugeot Australia Managing Director, Anouk Poelmann, said: “There has been a significant amount of effort at all levels of Peugeot to improve quality and dependability and these latest results reinforce what we already know – Peugeot is an industry leader when it comes to dependability.”
“Even before these results were achieved we had introduced a five-year, unlimited kilometre warranty as a statement in our belief and backing of Peugeot product in Australia,”
“Peugeot’s new-generation vehicles are revolutionary, not just for their appealing design but also their driving enjoyment and, as this survey demonstrates, their dependability,” Ms Poelmann added.
The study is focused on problems that are encountered within the past 12 months by original owners of vehicles in the UK after they have owned the vehicle for 12 to 36 months.
In total 177 possible problems in eight different categories were examined which were vehicle exterior, driving experience, features/controls/displays (FCD), audio/communication/entertainment/navigation (ACEN), seats, vehicle interior, engine and transmission as well as heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC).
Hyundai took out the overall highest vehicle dependability for all classes.
