Hyundai’s luxury brand, Genesis, has achieved first place in the JD Power US Initial Quality survey for the second year in a row.

The survey is based on responses from purchasers and lessees 90 days after their purchase.

The Korean Hyundai corporation filled all the podium places in the survey with Kia coming in second and Hyundai cars in third.
