On the Best Global Brands list, established at the turn of the millennium and compiled for the twenty-sixth time this year, there is no car manufacturer in the top five. The list is led toweringly by Apple, despite the fact that its value decreased by 4 percent compared to last year – although it is still estimated at 470.8 billion dollars. On the second step of the podium is Microsoft ($388.5 billion), while in third place is Amazon ($319.9 billion). Google and Samsung complete the top five rankings.
Right after them, Toyota comes in sixth place, maintaining its last year’s result, and thus can call itself the most valuable car manufacturing company at the moment. Mercedes made it into the top 10 as tenth – down two positions compared to last year’s list. In 2025, BMW, which is in 14th place in the overall ranking, will be the third among car manufacturers according to Interbrand’s compilation.
The list of the top 10 car manufacturers is completed by Tesla (25th place), which has deteriorated a lot compared to last year, as well as Honda (29th), Hyundai (30th), Audi (52nd), Ferrari (54th), Volkswagen (56th), and Porsche (57th).
In the entire list, Nissan also made it into the top 100 in 82nd place, Kia in 89th place, and BYD for the first time in its existence, in 90th position. Although car manufacturing is not their main profile, Xiaomi (81st place) and Huawei (96th place) can also be classified here, as both tech giants also manufacture passenger vehicles.
