The survey showed that the quality index rating of Hyundai automobiles rose to 28 from 35 of last year.
It is the first time that Hyundai cars ranked within top 30, its satisfaction score of 194, which is a little behind the average 167 of 200 kinds of new cars running along American roads.
Jaguar received the best score improving from fourth placed last year. Jaguars reputation has steadily improved since Ford acquired the company.
