“Our study shows that American car manufacturers are hugely popular within the US; with Jeep standing out as one of the most sought-after brands in middle America, thanks to their impressive reliability and adventure-driven character that clearly resonates with the US motor marketplace,” said Erin Baker, Editorial Director at Auto Trader. “However, Tesla's cutting-edge technology and their unwavering commitment to sustainability have earned them the top spot as the most desired car brand to buy in the USA, a clear indication of the nation's continuous fascination with their fast, sustainable, and reliable vehicles.”
The British outlet used Google search data to establish the annual search volume (January 2022 to December 2022 inclusive) in each country and American state for the terms “buy” + ”car brand” and “car brand” + “for sale” for 203 different car manufacturers.
