Tesla, Porsche and Dodge create the most joy for owners, says J.D. Power

KEY POINTS

- J.D. Power’s 2020 APEAL study rates vehicle brands by measuring owners’ emotional attachment and level of excitement with their new vehicles.

- Unofficially topping the list was Tesla at 896 out of 1,000 points — besting sports car brand Porsche, which had 881 points.

- For mainstream brands, Fiat Chrysler’s Dodge brand, which is best known for its over-700-horsepower Hellcat models, ranked first.

Car brands that create the most joy for owners are a mix of new and old technologies, but they have one thing in common: performance.

That’s according to J.D. Power’s 2020 Automotive Performance, Execution and Layout, or APEAL, study, which rates vehicle brands by measuring owners’ emotional attachment and level of excitement with their new vehicles.

Unofficially topping the list that was released Wednesday is Tesla, a company well-known for the performance of its all-electric, tech-savvy vehicles. The Silicon Valley automaker scored 896 out of 1,000 points — besting sports car brand Porsche, which received 881 points.

Porsche has topped the study 15 of the past 16 years, according to J.D. Power.

Tesla wasn’t officially part of the study because it doesn’t give J.D. Power access to customer vehicle registration data in 15 states. The firm rated them anyway based on responses from more than 1,200 Tesla owners.

“Their owners do express a high degree of satisfaction with their vehicles,” Dave Sargent, vice president of automotive quality at J.D. Power, said during a call Wednesday. “It’s largely driven by performance,” styling and the large infotainment systems in the vehicles.
