up! meest betrouwbare ‘supermini’ volgens J.D. Power klanttevredenheidsonderzoek
Het bekende Amerikaanse marktonderzoekbureau J.D. Power heeft de Volkswagen up! in een klanttevredenheidsonderzoek uitgeroepen tot meest betrouwbare ‘supermini’. In het onderzoek werden ruim 14.000 Duitse automobilisten bevraagd naar de betrouwbaarheid van hun auto gedurende de afgelopen twee jaar. De up! scoorde daarbij het hoogst in de klasse van de kleine auto’s, een prestatie die tijdens de IAA in Frankfurt werd onderstreept met een bijpassende award.
The respected American market research institute J.D. Power named the Volkswagen up! the winner in the "Supermini" category of this year's customer satisfaction survey. Thomas Zahn, Head of Sales and Marketing Germany of the Volkswagen passenger cars brand, accepted the prize this evening at the International Motor Show (IAA) in Frankfurt.

All the reviews are weighted and result in a ranking in which the brand or the model with the lowest incidence of errors emerges victorious. In the class of "Superminis", this was the Volkswagen up!.
