2020 marks the 25th year of the J.D. Power’s APEAL study. The APEAL Study (Automotive Performance, Execution, and Layout) was designed to measure the joy a vehicle provides its owners. This is a unique phenomenon that drives sales, brand loyalty, and advocacy. The 2020 APEAL Study is designed to complement the Initial Quality Study and the Power Tech Experience Index Study by measuring vehicle owners’ emotional attachment and level of excitement across 37 attributes. This year’s study gathered responses from 87,282 owners of new 2020 model-year vehicles who were surveyed after 90 days of ownership.
