Evidence boundary

The identity is documented. The chronology is still open.

This dossier is supported by cited published profiles, not a verified generation timeline. No generation numbers, production periods, family relationships or chassis-to-generation assignments are inferred. The photograph, when available, identifies the exact linked vehicle only.

The ownership model hub keeps the practical model overview; exact technical information and owner resources remain on the linked chassis profiles.

Model years are register evidence, not production periods; no generations or chassis inferred. Source.
  • Natural Resources Canada: Canadian model-year and configuration listings, including electrified vehicles. Only verified base-nameplate matches are published; unresolved trim strings are held. Not proof of a generation, chassis or production period. Source.

Years are recall scope, not production periods; recalls cover vehicles sold in China (domestic and imported). Chinese model names are published only through a reviewed English name; no generations or chassis inferred. Source.

  • INEGI, Instituto Nacional de Estadística y Geografía (Mexico): Brands and models of light vehicles sold in Mexico since 2005, with units sold and the span of sales years, from INEGI's aggregated monthly statistics. Sales years are market evidence, not production periods or model years; no generations or chassis inferred. Source.
  • RDW (Netherlands vehicle authority): Marques and commercial names of passenger cars and light commercial vehicles registered in the Netherlands, with vehicle counts and earliest/latest first-admission dates. Grouped counts only, no individual vehicles. A first-admission date is not a production date; no generations, chassis or specifications inferred. Source.
  • Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency: Makes and models of passenger cars and light goods vehicles on New Zealand's Motor Vehicle Register, with vehicle counts and the earliest and latest vehicle year. Server-side grouped statistics only; no registration numbers, VINs, engine numbers or locations are read.

  • Department for Transport and DVLA (United Kingdom): Makes and DVLA generic models of cars and light goods vehicles licensed or SORN in the United Kingdom since 2014, with vehicle counts and the span of recorded year of manufacture (DVLA's 1900 placeholder ignored).

  • U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and U.S. Department of Energy (fueleconomy.gov): Vehicles tested for US fuel-economy labels since model year 1984. Establishes the marque, nameplate, US model year and each tested engine/transmission/drive configuration; not a generation, chassis code or service specification. Fuel-economy values are not copied. Source.
  • U.S. Department of Transportation, NHTSA: Make and model names that manufacturers registered with NHTSA by model year and vehicle type. A listing establishes the nameplate and a model-year registration only; it is not a generation, chassis code or specification, and not proof the vehicle was sold in the US that year. Source.
