Car Model Lookup: Core Features & Principles
When you need to quickly compare car model specs across different brands, manually collecting information is time-consuming and prone to missing key data. This tool uses a structured database to visualize the relationship between brands, models, and manufacturers, outputting a complete vehicle profile across 12 dimensions. In the automotive industry, a "Model" refers to a specific product line with the same design platform and primary configurations, and each model has a unique global identifier (ID).
Why Choose Our Car Model Lookup?
- Multi-Brand Parallel Search: Select from 20+ mainstream brands like Audi and BMW simultaneously to get cross-brand comparison data in one go.
- Production Chain Transparency: Reveal the OEM manufacturer behind the model, such as joint venture production relationships like "BMW Brilliance" or "FAW-Volkswagen Audi".
- Real-Time Sale Status: Accurately labels whether each model is currently on the market, helping you avoid referencing discontinued models.
How to Use
- Check the target brands in the brand selection box (multiple selections allowed).
- Click the search button to submit your request.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Which brands are supported by the car model lookup?
We currently cover mainstream German, Japanese, and American brands, including BBA (Mercedes-Benz/BMW/Audi), Toyota, Honda, and more.
How should I understand the relationship between OEMs and brands?
A car brand may be produced by multiple OEM manufacturers. For example, Audi is manufactured in China through FAW-Volkswagen. The oemName field in the results displays the specific manufacturer, which explains why models from the same brand might have different origins.
Important Notes
The on-sale status (onSaleFlag) in the results only reflects market conditions at the time of the query. We recommend double-checking actual dealership inventory before purchasing a vehicle. Car images may experience loading delays depending on your network connection.
Pro Tips & Use Cases
Automotive industry professionals can use this tool for competitor analysis: by batch-querying models in the same price range (e.g., BBA mid-size sedans), you can compare product line distributions across brands. Typical query example: Select "BMW" and "Audi" simultaneously to instantly get key specs for competing models like the 3 Series/A4L or X3/Q5L.
