And while Toyota and BMW held the throne last year as the most searched automakers on Google, data for this year show that big changes are happening. The most popular car is by Tesla Motors, which reached the very top in a few years. It is currently ahead of BMW, and the only more popular brand on the global scene is Toyota. Judging by the data, not for long.
According to the data for the first half of 2021, Comparethemarket.com has made a map of the world where we can easily see which car was the most searched on Google, in each of the countries.
In 2020, BMW and Toyota held the upper hand. Last year, Toyota was number 1 in 55 countries and BMW in 34, while third-ranked Mercedes was the most popular topic in 15 countries. Tesla was nowhere to be found. The same was still the case in the past, in 2018 and 2019.
Now things are a little different. Toyota is still first, but has fallen to 46 states. In second place came Tesla Motors, which is the most popular automaker in as many as 41 countries. Third is still Mercedes (16), while BMW fell to fourth place with only 13 countries in which it is most popular. Let’s say he shares third place with Hyundai.
If we look at the countries of the region, things have basically remained the same. BMW is still number 1 here as the most popular brand on Google.
