Bayerische Motoren Werke AG, more commonly known as BMW, is the most popular car brand on TikTok, seeing over 17.6 billion views across the app. The BMW brand has been quick to embrace the social media platform, creating their own hashtag challenges to promote their vehicles.

Ranking in second place is Mercedes-Benz, with 9.1 billion views on TikTok (almost half as many views as rival BMW!). Similarly to BMW, Mercedes has also made great use of TikTok through viral challenges such as the #MBStarChallenge. Some of the vehicles which racked up the most views for the brand include the S-Class, G-Class and CLA-Class.

Unsurprisingly, the majority of the most viewed cars on TikTok are luxury vehicles, and so it’s no surprise to see the Italian luxury sports car maker Lamborghini ranking third. The Lambo was the first supercar brand to arrive on TikTok, and has since racked up over 8.3 billion views.
