If you drive a Chevrolet Volt or GMC Yukon Denali, you may be more loyal to your brand of vehicle than most owners.<\/p>\n

And if you own a Ford or any of several Fiat Chrysler models, you may not be far behind.<\/p>\n

IHS Markit collected and analyzed 17.5 million new-vehicle registrations during the 2016 model year and awarded General Motors the Overall Loyalty to Manufacturer Award.<\/p>\n

Especially loyal, apparently, are owners of Cadillac brand vehicles, plus the Volt compact car and Yukon Denali XL full-size SUV, winners of their respective model segments, according to IHS, which named 34 winners based on shopping behaviors during the model year.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/a>
The Chevrolet Volt earned one of four GM awards for customer loyalty.<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>

\u201cLoyalty is determined when a household that owns a new vehicle returns to market and purchases or leases another new vehicle of the same make, model or manufacturer,\u201d said IHS Markit.<\/p>\n

Customer loyalty and product recommendations generally are considered crucial to brand success.<\/p>\n

Ford was the only automaker winning multiple awards in IHS\u2019 manufacturer and make category, capturing three of 10, including the Overall Loyalty to Make Award. Four FCA brands \u2013 Jeep (2), Ram, Chrysler and Dodge \u2013 led the way in segment model loyalty awards.<\/p>\n

Overall, seven manufacturers or makes received awards \u2013 Jeep, Tesla, Volvo, Mercedes-Benz and Toyota in addition to General Motors and Ford products \u2013 while 18 models were recognized.<\/p>\n
