Speaking about India, our fellow citizens search for Hyundai most, as the study reveals. Hyundai is also at the first spot in Russian market. But this study cannot be taken as a very scientific one as Google is not the most popular search engine in many countries, including big ones like China and Russia.
Interestingly, four European countries like their homegrown brands most over other car marquees. German customers seem to love the BMW brand, while France relies on Renault. Volvo gets the first spot in Sweden and Italy comes with Fiat at the first position.
