Perceived quality experts collaborate across teams to transform innovative ideas into flawless execution, creating cars that captivate buyers and foster long-term brand loyalty. Join us to dive deeper into the best practices, strategies and nuances of perceived quality

This livestream will explore how PQ supports this goal, even as automotive technology and design continue to push boundaries.
