Ford Named No. 1 Mainstream Brand for New Vehicle Quality in the JD Power 2026 U.S. Initial Quality Study
Ford has been ranked the No. 1 mainstream brand in the JD Power 2026 U.S. Initial Quality Study (IQS) — its highest-ever position and the first time achieving this milestone since 2010. The Ford F-150, Mustang, and Super Duty each topped their segments for the second consecutive year, with seven of Ford’s ten models tested placing in the top three of their categories — the highest percentage any automaker.
This recognition reflects years of relentless investment in engineering, manufacturing, and software quality. “At Ford MYNM, our customers have always come first — and this recognition demonstrates the quality-first standard we hold ourselves to every day. Choosing Ford means choosing a brand built around quality, performance, and engineering built for the long run” said Jason Blane, Ford MYNM Managing Director.
Ford’s rise from No. 15 in 2023 to No. 1 today is the result of a company-wide quality transformation — closer collaboration across engineering and manufacturing, deeper supplier integration, and rigorous software testing before vehicles ever reach customers.
As Ford’s official distributor for the Western and Southern regions of Saudi Arabia, MYNM invites customers to experience this award-winning quality firsthand at Ford MYNM showrooms.
