Hyundai’s 2019 Santa Fe and Sonata were named the most dependable Midsize SUV and Midsize Car in the 2022 J.D. Power U.S. Vehicle Dependability Study (VDS), which analyzes the long-term dependability of three-year-old models.
Released on Thursday, the annual VDS shows Santa Fe and Sonata ranked highest in their segments, beating out leading competitors in the 2019 model year. Hyundai improved from fourth to third place in the study’s mass market nameplate rankings, while also finishing third overall among all brands.
“Long-term dependability and quality are critical components to customer satisfaction and brand loyalty,” said Barry Ratzlaff, chief customer officer, Hyundai Motor North America. “Vehicles must be well designed, engineered, manufactured and have easy-to-use safety and convenience technologies to outperform the competition in this study. These awards also recognize the strong efforts of Hyundai dealers who support our customers with great service and vehicle education every day.”
