According to the 2019 Ideal Vehicle Awards, Volvo and Ram performed particularly well based solely on 50,000 owners survey responses measuring “the fusion between owner expectations and reality.”

The Volvo XC60 was named the 2019 overall winner. Ram was named the most ideal brand overall and most ideal popular brand,

 “IVAs speak to a vehicle's layout and design,” AutoPacific president George Peterson said in a news release. "Giving 50,000 owners a chance to tell us what they would change and how they would change it reveals which vehicles are best designed to meet their needs and expectations.”

U.S. brands received eight IVA vehicle awards, which was a decline from 14 last year. European brands earned three vehicle wins, down from eight in 2018. Asian brands earned 13 wins, which was an increase from five in 2018.

Nissan showed strength in the mid-size car and large SUV segments. Honda won the economy/compact car segments, and Subaru won the mid-size crossover SUV segments.

The all-new Ram 1500 won its segment. The 1500, the first since Ram’s spin off as a separate brand, earned top satisfaction scores in 22 out of 32 attributes, including interior quietness, driver’s seat movement, interior styling and power and acceleration.

“The Ram 1500 is a truly exceptional pickup,” Peterson said in a news release. “But what carries Ram to the top as a brand is high satisfaction in areas that can be problems for other brands, particularly second-row seat comfort, interior storage, passenger roominess and user-friendly gauges and controls.”
