Strategic Vision’s 23rd annual TQI report is based on results from the New Vehicle Experience Study (NVES), surveying more than 42,000 new vehicle buyers who purchased vehicles from July-December 2016 after the first 90 days of ownership. It incorporates the impact of problems with the vehicle, as well as the drivers’ analytical and emotional evaluations of quality.
According to San Diego-based research firm Strategic Vision, the TQI score is a holistic measure that encompasses positive and negative product experiences. This includes reliability, actual problems, driving excitement and other measures that collectively are energized by the emotional response associated with the aggregate of all those experiences – hence Total Quality.
