- See the Description section of this document for basic explanations of what data to enter in each parameter.
- See WikiProject Automobiles/Conventions for detailed explanations of what data to enter in each parameter and instructions on how to correctly format the data.
- When entering more than one data point per parameter, use the unbulleted list template {{ubl | fact one | fact two | et cetera }} to put each entry on a separate line. Do not use <br /> to create line breaks in the infobox.
- In the infobox templates below, conversion templates have been provided for your convenience. After copying the infobox template into the article, enter the data, replacing "NNNN" with numeric entries. When entering data into the conversion template, enter digits without thousands separators; i.e. 4287 not 4,287.

Description
Below are basic description of what data should be entered for each parameter. For detailed explanations of what data to enter in each parameter and instructions on how to correctly format the data, please see WikiProject Automobiles/Conventions.
- Name: the brand and model name or brand and model series used in the original or primary market of the subject vehicle
- Image: a front three-quarter view (the vehicle parked at an angle relative to the photographer so that the photo shows the front and side of the vehicle) preferably taken against a non-distracting background, containing no other vehicles and with the sun shining from behind the photographer
- Caption: description of the infobox image if clarification or disambiguation is required
- Manufacturer: the entity responsible for the vehicle's development, although not necessarily the company that physically assembles the vehicle
- Aka: other names of the subject vehicle – See Notes below for guidance on "Aka" vs. "Related".
- Model years: the model years during which the subject vehicle was marketed – do not use months or half-years
- Production: calendar year (not model year) range during which the subject vehicle was produced – months are recommended if available, but exact dates are discouraged
- Assembly: cities and countries in which the subject vehicle is assembled
- Predecessor: previous model from the manufacturer in the segment or similar – leave empty if there is none
- Successor: subsequent model from the manufacturer in the segment or similar – leave empty if there is none
- Class: segment to which the subject vehicle belongs
- Body style: number of doors and body type of the subject vehicle
- Layout: layout of the subject vehicle's drivetrain/powertrain
- Platform: If the manufacturer uses vehicle platforms/modules/architectures, list the platform/module/architecture name upon which the subject vehicle is based
- Engine: nominal displacement per displacement conventions, the engine name/code in italics, the engine type, and then in parentheses, the type of forced induction (if applicable) and fuel type. Engine outputs and other data should be excluded.
- Transmission: number of forward gear ratios, the transmission name/code in italics and the transmission type
- Examples:
6-speed ''[[Transmission Technologies Corporation|Tremec]] M3L TR-3160'' manualdisplays as: 6-speed Tremec M3L TR-3160 manual6-speed ''[[Hydramatic|Hydra-Matic]] 6L45'' automaticdisplays as: 6-speed Hydra-Matic 6L45 automatic[[Continuously variable transmission|CVT]] ''Gamma'' automaticdisplays as: CVT Gamma automatic
- Examples:
- Wheelbase: nominal wheelbase of the subject vehicle
- Length: nominal length (excluding any non-standard towing equipment) of the subject vehicle
- Width: nominal width (excluding door mirrors) of the subject vehicle
- Height: nominal height of the subject vehicle
- Weight: kerb/curb weight range of the subject vehicle showing the lowest weight and the highest weight for a given body style. Create separate range entries for each body style (coupe, sedan, hatchback, wagon) but do not list the weight of every trim/option level.
- Related: other vehicles which share a large majority of components and/or are based on the same platform as the subject vehicle. See Notes below for guidance on "Aka" vs. "Related".
- Designer: the name of the individual and/or the design firm credited for the design of the subject vehicle's body
- Sp: the spelling convention – Enter
usfor American English (default); enterukfor British English.
- Note: The
| sp =parameter affects only the display spelling of the "Weight" parameter, displaying either "Curb weight" (American English) or "Kerb weight" (British English).
- Note: The
Notes
- Aka versus Related: Aka is intended for alternate names such as the name give in a foreign markets, where the subject vehicle is offered under a different brand and/or model name. Vehicles listed in this parameter typically do not have their own articles, instead redirecting to the original article. Related is intended for listing similar vehicles that share considerable componentry (but beyond mere platform sharing). Cars in this field usually have their own articles.
