But which automotive manufacturers are regarded with having the highest overall brand health from consumers from Malaysia?

Methodology:

YouGov's Automotive & Mobility Rankings 2022 show the brands with the highest average Index scores between February 1, 2021 and January 31st, 2022. The scores are mostly representative of the general population of adults 18+ (some are online-representative or urban rep). All Index scores listed have been rounded to a single decimal place; however, we have used additional precision to assign ranks. All brands have been tracked for at least 6 months to be included in the rankings and have been tracked for at least 18 months to appear in the Improvers tables. ​

Each day consumers are asked about their views on automotive brands across various markets, which allows YouGov to build a picture of how these brands are perceived by the general public through comparing Index scores – which is a measure of overall brand health calculated by taking the average of General Impression, Quality, Value, Customer Satisfaction, Recommendation and Corporate Reputation by YouGov BrandIndex.​

  • General Impression – whether someone has a positive or negative impression of a brand​
  • Quality – whether consumers think the brand represents good or poor quality​
  • Value – whether consumers think the brand represents good or poor value for money​

  • Customer Satisfaction – whether someone is a satisfied or dissatisfied customer​
  • Recommendation – whether someone would recommend a brand to a friend or not​
  • Corporate Reputation – whether someone is proud or embarrassed to work for a brand
