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

France, this window: value marques lead search (Dacia +61% YoY) while premium cools and major-purchase intent stays suppressed — lead value with warmth and competence; hold the premium launch.

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 (CCFA/PFA France, SMMT UK, KBA Germany) — actual sales by marque/model; the commercial outcome behind the attention.
Listings marketplaces AutoTrader, La Centrale, mobile.de — used-demand and pricing pressure, scrapable at category level.
EV charging & registration open data Public charging-point and EV-registration feeds — the electrification curve, market by market.
Configurator / build-and-price traffic Proxied via model-level search-intent — late-funnel purchase signal.
