• To predict how reliable luxury crossovers and SUVs will be over time, J.D. Power calculates predicted reliability Power Circle Ratings from the data that the company collects in its annual Vehicle Dependability Study (VDS) and Initial Quality Study (IQS). By asking new- and used-vehicle owners what has gone right, what has gone wrong, what they like, and what they dislike about their vehicles, J.D. Power can measure owner satisfaction with the dependability, quality, and overall appeal of vehicles at various points in the ownership cycle.
