    18 June 2026
    SHANGHAI: 18 Jun, 2026 – As the automotive market in China nears saturation and price competition continues to increase, the purchase experience has replaced brand loyalty as the primary differentiator among consumers.

Strengths for ICE vehicles include the in-store experience. The study, formerly the J.D. Power China Sales Satisfaction Index (SSI) Study, shifts the lens from sales satisfaction to focus on the customer purchase experience and emotional aspects of the process to provide the industry with a new tool to measure new-vehicle owners’ purchase experience between two and six months of ownership.
