Methodology
Confused researchers used data from Google Keyword Planner to find monthly global search volume for more than 250 car brands over the past 12 months. Then they multiplied that number by 12 to find the annual search volume. The researchers then ranked the brands based on the data and this is how they revealed the most searched car brands in the world.
They also determined the most sought-after car brands in most car-producing countries.
