Malibu, Equinox, Silverado 1500 and Spark rated best in segment in initial quality
Those who purchase Chevrolet vehicles have made their satisfaction known through the J.D. Power 2015 Initial Quality Study. Ten Chevy models ranked in the Top 3 or better in their segments, and four Chevys topped their categories.
More than 86,000 new car owners of 2015 models were surveyed by J.D. Power, an industry authority for customer satisfaction and quality. When the dust had settled and the entries calculated, Chevy models of all sizes and purposes emerged victorious.
The Spark city car, the iconic Malibu, the powerful Silverado 1500 and the family-favorite Equinox each won their respective categories, and all four of these wonderful choices for new Chevys are available through West Chevrolet serving Knoxville, TN!
“We are constantly challenging ourselves to bring to market the highest-quality products for our customers, regardless of the type of vehicle they purchase,” Alan Batey, global Chevrolet president, said. “Quality studies like this one tell us we are moving in the right direction.”
2015 Chevrolet Equinox | Winner of Compact SUV segment
For Tennessee families who need a new family transporter, the Chevrolet Equinox makes an excellent choice. Pull the Multi-Flex sliding seats forward to add almost eight inches of cargo room; fold them completely flat to create 63.7 cubic feet of maximum cargo space. The 2015 Equinox has ample storage compartments and an available programmable power liftgate making loading cargo all that much easier.
2015 Chevrolet Malibu | Winner of Midsized Car segment
The 2015 Malibu earned a five-star rating from the federal government, and it was designed safety prevention in mind. When used correctly, technologies on the 2015 Malibu can help avoid collisions altogether, including four-wheel antilock disc brakes and the StabiliTrak Electronic Stability Control System with Traction Control.
Under the hood, you can choose between the 2.5-liter ECOTEC I4 with its up-to 36 mpg highway or the turbocharged 2.0-L engine. With the turbocharged engine, you can still get up to 30 mpg highway, so either way the Malibu makes a great daily commuter!
2015 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 | Winner of Large Light Duty Pickup segment
Silverados are synonymous with power, and now the 1500 has the quality award to back it up. Updates for the 2015 Silverado included a new eight-speed automatic transmission for the 6.2-L V8 engine, improved technology offerings, upgraded towing capacity ratings and more.
2015 Chevrolet Spark | Winner of City Car segment
Live in a big city and need an efficient compact car? The Chevy Spark is right up your alley! An EPA-estimated 39 mpg highway also makes the Spark a great daily driver. The standard OnStar 4G LTE Wi-Fi service makes the Spark a mobile hotspot.

Alan Batey, Global Chevrolet president stated, “First, the study results will help attract new buyers to Chevrolet, as J.D. Power data shows ‘expected reliability’ is customers’ top purchase consideration for a new vehicle. Second, the improved ownership experience of our new vehicles will help convert first-time Chevrolet buyers into repeat customers, as J.D. Power indicates customers who have a positive experience in the first 90 days of ownership are more likely to become repeat buyers for the brand.”
The results gained from the J.D. Power Initial Quality Study provides manufactures that will help them identify any issues the car may have and make any necessary improvements.
