Automotive & mobility

See the value-vs-premium-vs-EV tilt early.

Auto demand turns on confidence and value perception, both behavioural, both readable now. Cadence tracks where attention and intent are tilting across the marque ladder before the registration data lands.

The question this desk brings

“Is the market tilting to value, premium or electric, and where is auto attention heading?”

What Cadence reads for you, now

  • Search-intent and attention across value marques, premium and EV, the demand ladder, weekly.
  • The mood and savings-intent context that governs big-ticket appetite.
  • What rival marques are advertising (Google Ads Transparency) as competitive pressure.
Example read

Germany, this window: both value and premium marques are firming in search, premium intent holding even against a heavy news tone. The top of the market is reachable; lead engineering credibility and capability, not discounts.

Data we’d add for this sector

Sector-specific layers we can fold in, public, scrapable, API (free or via tools we hold) or datasets we already own. The signal stack extends to the question.

New-car registrations Public monthly data from national registration bodies, actual sales by marque/model; the commercial outcome behind the attention.
EV charging & registration open data Public charging-point and EV-registration feeds, the electrification curve, market by market.
Used-car listings marketplaces Used-demand and pricing pressure, at category level.
Late-funnel purchase signal Model-level search-intent (held) as a proxy for configurator / build-and-price intent.
