'We are passionate about performance and believe that every detail is significant in the design, engineering, and production of all our vehicles. We are pleased that customers have found their Genesis vehicles to be the most dependable among all premium brands.'

For the 2022 study, J.D. Power looked at the 2019 model year of vehicles to assess dependability. For Genesis, this included the G70 sport sedan, G80 executive sedan, and G90 flagship sedan.

The annual study ranks auto manufacturers and their products by problems per one hundred vehicles (PP100). The brand and car with the lowest level of problems is considered most dependable. Genesis achieved 155 PP100, which ranked 37 PP100 better than the industry average.
