Years are market evidence, not production periods; no generations or chassis inferred. 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.

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. Department of Transportation, NHTSA: Make and model names that manufacturers registered with NHTSA by model year and vehicle type.
