Parameters
- name: the name of the car used in its original or primary market
- image: A 'three quarter' view of the front and side of the car (eg: Image:1963 MkI Mini.jpg), preferably taken against a background containing no other vehicles and with the sun shining from behind the camera.
- manufacturer: The company or division that manufactures the vehicle
- parent company: industrial group or holding company which owns the marque/brand/division at the time the car was produced (if any)
- aka: other names of the car/automobile in different markets
- model years: the model years in which the vehicle was marketed. No months or half-years. Empty this field and place actual production date in the Production start and production end fields as this information becomes available.
- production: calendar year (not model year) range when the car was produced. This is an alternative to production_start and production_end; do not use both forms.
- production start and production end: This is an alternative to production; do not use both forms. The calendar dates (year and month, with day if available) on which production of the vehicle started and ended.
- assembly: cities and countries where the model is built
- predecessor: previous models from the manufacturer in the segment or similar
- successor: following models in the segment or similar
- class: segment to which the car belongs
- body style: number of doors and car shape
- layout: layout of the drivetrain/powertrain
- platform: the platform name, which may be shared with similar cars from the same or related marques
- engine: nominal capacity in Litres (L), abbreviated engine configuration, notable valvetrain, notable fuel delivery, forced induction type
- transmission: number of forward gear ratios, and the type of transmission (eg. "6-speed manual, 5-speed automatic")
- wheelbase: nominal wheelbase
- length: nominal length (excluding any non-standard towing equipment)
- width: nominal width (excluding door mirrors)
- height: nominal height
- weight: kerb/curb weight of a standard car without options (if a range of bodystyles is offered, include a lowest and highest figure)
- fuel capacity: nominal capacity of the fuel tank
- electric range: all-electric range of plug-in hybrid vehicles
- related: cars which share components
- designer: the name of the individual designer, or the "design house"
- sp: the spelling convention. For British English spelling, set to "uk". American English US spelling ("us") is set by default. Note: currently it only affects the "Curb weight"/"Kerb weight" spelling.
