Big News: Nissan Shines in 2025 J.D. Power Quality Rankings!

When it comes to quality, Nissan drivers already know they’re in good hands — and now it’s official. In the 2025 J.D. Power U.S. Initial Quality Study (IQS), Nissan ranked #1 among mass-market brands, and we at Thayer Nissan couldn’t be prouder to represent such a standout name in automotive excellence. You can read the official news release from Nissan here.

What’s the Buzz About?

Every year, J.D. Power surveys thousands of new car owners during the first 90 days of ownership, tracking reported issues across categories like tech, safety, powertrain, and comfort. The result? A score called “Problems Per 100 Vehicles” (or PP100) — and the lower, the better.

This year, Nissan took the top spot among non-luxury brands with a score of just 169 PP100, beating out competitors like Hyundai and Chevrolet.


Altima and Sentra Take the Crown

Two of our customer favorites led the way:

  • Nissan Altima ranked highest in the Midsize Car segment.
  • Nissan Sentra was #1 in the Compact Car category.

But the wins didn’t stop there. The Rogue, Frontier, and Pathfinder also placed in the top three for their respective segments — making it clear that Nissan is delivering across the board.
