Each year, the J.D. Power U.S. Initial Quality Study (IQS) examines the first 90 days of ownership and the number of problems experienced per 100 vehicles (PP100).
And for the second year in a row, Kia earned higher ratings from this study than any other auto manufacturer.
Let’s take a closer look at some of the Kia reviews that led it to be named the first non-luxury brand to lead the automotive industry in initial quality.
