Nissan Vehicles Score Big in 2016 J.D. Power APEAL℠ Study

Hall Nissan Virginia Beach has always believed that Nissan models were appealing, but now we have the data to back it up!

The latest J.D. Power 2016 U.S. Automotive, Performance, Execution, and Layout (APEAL) SM Study has been released, and not one, not two, but three Nissan models have scored favorably in their respective segments.

The list of appealing (we’ll stop now) Nissan models was led by the all-new 2016 TITAN XD, which took honors in the Large Light Duty Pickup segment, while the new Maxima topped the Large Car segment, and the refreshed Altima ranked number two among Midsize Car competitors.

The TITAN scored 867 points to dominate its class, while the Maxima tallied 857 points. The 2016 Altima, Nissan's best-selling vehicle, with 824 points, was up seven points from last year.

The annual APEAL Study, now in its 21st year, is an important metric by which vehicles are judged. It gives purchasers and lessees of new vehicles a platform to evaluate their cars, trucks and SUVs across 77 specific attributes.

The results are then combined into an overall APEAL score measured on a 1,000-point scale. Interestingly, the study found that some features, such as blind spot warning and parking assist systems, substantially improved owners' sense of security – and satisfaction – with their vehicles.

Of course, Nissan is wholly dedicated to customer safety, a fact backed up by the brand’s wide range of 'Safety Shield' technologies that are available across a wide spectrum of vehicles and trim levels. These include:

  • Predictive Forward Collision Warning
  • Forward Emergency Braking
  • Blind Spot Warning
  • Driver Attention Alert
  • Around View® Monitor with Moving Object Detection
  • Rear Cross-Traffic Alert
  • NissanConnect
  • Advanced Drive-Assist™ Display

Hall Nissan Virginia Beach is proud to offer such a wide-range of award-winning vehicles. And we’re even more pleased that customers are loving their Nissan vehicles!
