“This year’s study was redesigned to underscore several recent trends
seen in automotive vehicle manufacturer websites,” said Jon Sundberg,
senior manager of digital solutions at J.D. Power
. “We’ve taken note
of the digital advancements OEM websites are implementing to evolve the
automotive shopping experience. Items like personalization,
customization and digital retailing are being implemented or are on the
digital road map for many OEM sites, and we wanted to ensure the
customer has a voice in these areas. We’ve even added self-guided videos
and transcripts of shoppers using OEM websites to give further context
to the shopping experience.”

This year’s study finds that overall satisfaction averages 834 (on a
1,000-point scale) for the luxury segment, while the mass market segment
averages 826. Land Rover (864) ranked highest in the luxury
manufacturer brand segment and Mitsubishi (848) is the
highest-ranked mass market brand.

The Manufacturer Website Evaluation Study, initially released in 1999,
is based on responses from 10,031 new vehicle shoppers who indicate they
will be in the market for a new vehicle within the next 24 months. The
study was fielded in November 2019.
