    J.D. Power Asia Pacific Reports: Domestic Brands in China Narrow the Gap with International Brands in Overall New-Vehicle Appeal Models from Shanghai General Motors lead in four segments; Audi Ranks Highest in Vehicle Appeal at Make Level SHANGHAI: 30 November 2012 — Chinese domestic brands have substantially narrowed the gap with international brands in overall vehicle appeal, according to the J.D. Power Asia Pacific 2012 China Automotive Performance, Execution and Layout (APEAL) StudySM released today. Now in its 10th year, the China APEAL Study examines how gratifying a new vehicle is to own and drive, based on owner evaluations during the first two to six months of ownership. The study examines 82 attributes across 10 vehicle performance categories: vehicle exterior; vehicle interior; storage and space; audio/ entertainment/ navigation; seats; HVAC; driving dynamics; engine/ transmission; visibility and driving safety; and fuel economy. Domestic brands achieve an average APEAL score of 781 points, an historic high for brands of Chinese automakers. Domestic brands have made significant improvements in the audio/ entertainment/ navigation and seats categories, each increasing by 11 points from 2011. There are also improvements in the driving dynamics and engine/ transmission categories, with each increasing by seven points from 2011. The APEAL score for international brands drops to 839 points in 2012 from 847 in 2011, due to declining satisfaction in the vehicle exterior and storage and space categories. The China automotive industry achieves an overall APEAL score of 822 points (on a 1,000-point scale) in 2012, a 3-point decline compared with 2011. “The significant price decline that the industry has experienced during the past year is causing a negative impact on owner satisfaction with their vehicle,” said Dr.
