Name

The name field states the brand and model name or brand and model series used in the original or primary market of the subject vehicle. The name appears at the top of the infobox outside the border. Generally, the data entered in this field will match the title of the article.

Examples:

| name = Cadillac ATS

| name = Honda Civic (first generation)

| name = BMW 3 Series (E90)

Image

The image field displays an image of the subject vehicle to display in the infobox. The image used in the Infobox must comply with the standards outlined in the images section of WikiProject Automobiles/Conventions. Use an image showing the 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 with appropriate lighting. Enter the image file name and file type extension only.

Examples:

| image = Cadillac ATS 2013.jpg

| image = civicgen1.jpg

| image = 2007 BMW E90 at LA Auto Show.jpg

Caption

The caption field describes the vehicle pictured in the image field above.

Examples:

| caption = 2013 Cadillac ATS

| caption = 1974 Honda Civic 5-door hatchback

| caption = 2007 BMW 328xi coupé

Type

Vehicle type (e.g. Omnibus, truck, etc.)

Manufacturer

The manufacturer field states the company, division, or subsidiary responsible for the vehicle's engineering and development, which is not necessarily the entity assembling or marketing the vehicle. Do not use this field to list assembly locations, assembly facility names or assembly company names; that data must be entered in the separate assembly field.

Examples:

| manufacturer = Cadillac

| manufacturer = Honda

| manufacturer = BMW

You may show the parent company of a given manufacturer in parentheses after the manufacturer entry, if applicable.

| manufacturer = Cadillac (General Motors)

| manufacturer = Lexus (Toyota)

| manufacturer = Škoda (Volkswagen)

Model code

The model code field states the code designated by the manufacturer to the vehicle, usually listed at the vehicle's vehicle identification plate, owner's manual book or parts catalogue. A single model may have multiple model codes to determine different engine, transmission and body style combinations. Avoid using this field to state the platform code shared with another model.

Examples:

| model_code = XV40

| model_code = KF

Use the unbulleted list template to display multiple entries:

<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline>| model_code =

• FB1
• FB2
• FB3
• FB4
• FB5
• FB6
• FB
• FG2
• FG3

</syntaxhighlight>

<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline>| model_code =

• SP2 (South Korea)
• SP2i (India)
• SP2c (China)

</syntaxhighlight>

<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline>| model_code =

• E90 (saloon)
• E91 (estate)
• E92 (coupé)
• E93 (convertible)

</syntaxhighlight>

AKA

The AKA (also known as) field lists vehicles that are essentially the same as the subject vehicle, but are sold in other countries under a different brand and/or model name. Vehicles listed in this field generally do not have their own dedicated article. Not to be confused with the related field as described in the notes section below.

Examples:

In the Ford Escape article:

<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline>| aka = Ford Kuga</syntaxhighlight>

Use the unbulleted list template to display multiple entries:

In the Buick Regal article:

<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline>| aka =

• Chevrolet Vectra
• Opel Insignia
• Vauxhall Insignia

</syntaxhighlight>

Production

The production field states the date production started and the date production ended. Dates should be expressed in years (for example, 2001–2006) or in months and years (for example, April 2001 – November 2006). Full dates should not be used in the production field of the infobox (for example, 7 April 2001 – 16 November 2006); full dates can be stated in the body of the article.

If production started in any year prior to the current year and is still ongoing, 2008–present, et cetera, is the preferred style. However, 2026– is preferable to 2026–present while we are still in 2026.

Production end dates should never be in the future (for example, 2001–2028), even if there are reliable sources. The end date should remain "present" until production has ended.

Vehicles that have not yet entered production should state, 2028 (to commence).

For vehicles sold in North America where the use of model years is widespread, the model_years field of the infobox may be used in addition to production. See model years in this document for more information.

Examples:

| production = 2004–2011

| production = December 2004 – October 2011

| production = 2009–present

| production = 2026–

| production = 2028 (to commence)

Model years

The model year field specifies the model year designations under which the manufacturer marketed the subject vehicle. This designation is determined by the manufacturer using criteria unique to that manufacturer and may or may not correspond with the calendar year. Do not use months or half years.

2026– is preferable to 2026–present while we are still in 2026.

If the first model year is any year prior to the current year and sales of the model are ongoing, 2006–present, et cetera, is the preferred style.

Examples:

| model_years = 2026–

| model_years = 2010–present

| model_years = 1974–1979

Assembly

The assembly field states the country of manufacture first, followed by a colon, and then the exact location, such as the city or town followed by the state or province, if applicable. If the manufacturing or assembly facility has an official name, is a legally incorporated subsidiary, is a partnership, is a joint venture or is an independent third party contractor, list that information in parentheses after the location. If the vehicle is assembled in several locations in the same country, seperate enties with a semicolon.

Examples:

<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline>| assembly = Japan: Suzuka, Mie</syntaxhighlight>

<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline>| assembly = United States: Lansing, Michigan (Lansing Grand River Assembly)</syntaxhighlight>

<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline>| assembly = United States: North Tarrytown, New York (North Tarrytown Assembly); Ypsilanti, Michigan (Willow Run Assembly)</syntaxhighlight>

Use the unbulleted list template to display multiple entries:

<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline>| assembly =

• Germany: Rüsselsheim
• Finland: Uusikaupunki (Valmet Automotive)
• Canada: Cambridge, Ontario (TMMC)

</syntaxhighlight>

Designer

The designer field is used to record the name(s) of the vehicle's exterior designer(s).

Class

The class field states the class segment to which the subject vehicle belongs. See also the classification guidelines of WikiProject Automobiles/Conventions.

Example:

| class = Mid-size

Body style

The body style field lists the different available body styles of the article subject. State the number of doors as a numeral and the body style. Note: station wagons, hatchbacks, etc, are given an extra door to signify their larger rear openings compared to coupés and sedans, etc.

Examples:

<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline>| body_style = 4-door sedan</syntaxhighlight>

<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline>| body_style =

• 2-door pickup
• 2-door coupé
• 3-door hatchback
• 4-door sedan
• 5-door station wagon

</syntaxhighlight>

Layout

The layout field states subject vehicle's drivetrain / powertrain configuration. That is; whether the engine is mounted transversely or longitudinally, and then if it is mounted at the front, middle, or rear of the vehicle. Furthermore, the drive wheels need to be denoted; that is, front-, rear-, or four-wheel drive.

Examples:

<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline>| layout = Transverse front-engine, front-wheel drive</syntaxhighlight>

<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline>| layout =

• (Longitudinal front-engine, rear-wheel drive)
• (Longitudinal front-engine, four-wheel drive)

</syntaxhighlight>

Platform

The platform field states the name of the platform, architecture or module upon which the subject vehicle is built. If the subject vehicle is not based on a platform, architecture or module, or if the manufacturer has not disclosed this information, leave this field blank.

Related

The related field lists similar vehicles that share considerable componentry with the subject vehicle. Do not list vehicles that merely share the same platform. Not to be confused with the aka field as described in the notes section below.

Engines

The engine field lists an engine's displacement, the engine name/code in italics, the cylinder arrangement and cylinder count, and then in parentheses, the type of forced induction (if applicable) and fuel type. Engine outputs and other data should be excluded. For fuel type, the terms "gasoline" (American English) or "petrol" (British English) should be used depending upon the spelling convention of the article.

The displacement should be written in liters (L) or cubic centimeters (cc) unless the engine was originally engineered, designated, and marketed in cubic inches (see below).

Examples in liters (L):

<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline>| engine = 0.8 L Alpha I3 (gasoline)</syntaxhighlight>

<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline>| engine = 1.8 L Delta I4 (gasoline)</syntaxhighlight>

<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline>| engine = 1.8 L Delta I4 (gasoline hybrid)</syntaxhighlight>

<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline>| engine = 2.0 L Delta I4-S (gasoline)</syntaxhighlight>

<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline>| engine = 3.0 L Zeta V6-T (diesel)</syntaxhighlight>

Use the unbulleted list template to display multiple entries:

<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline>| engine =

• 2.0 L Delta I4-S (gasoline)
• 3.0 L Zeta V6-T (diesel)

</syntaxhighlight>

Cubic centimeters (cc) may be used where appropriate.

Examples in cubic centimeters (cc):

<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline>| engine = 789 cc Alpha I3 (gasoline)</syntaxhighlight>

<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline>| engine = 1,794 cc Delta I4 (gasoline)</syntaxhighlight>

Cubic inches (cu in) may be used if the engine was originally engineered, designated, and marketed in cubic inches. When working with cubic inches, use the convert template <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline></syntaxhighlight>. We abbreviate cubic inches using cu in rather than in³ or CID.

Example in cubic inches (cu in):

<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline>| engine = 5,735 cm³ (350 cu in) Gamma V8 (gasoline)</syntaxhighlight>

Motor

The motor field states the power output and type of electric motor(s) installed in the vehicle

Example:

| motor = Three-phase AC induction motor

Transmissions

The transmission field states the number of forward-propulsion gears, the transmission name/code in italics, and the transmission type. The number of forward-propulsion gears should be expressed numerically (for example: 5-speed), not alphabetically (for example: five-speed).

Examples:

<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline>| transmission = 5-speed Alpha manual</syntaxhighlight>

<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline>| transmission = 6-speed Beta automatic</syntaxhighlight>

<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline>| transmission = CVT Gamma automatic</syntaxhighlight>

Use the unbulleted list template to display multiple entries:

<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline>|transmission =

• 6-speed Tremec M3L TR-3160 manual
• 6-speed Hydra-Matic 6L45 automatic

</syntaxhighlight>

Propulsion

For non-wheeled vehicles; e.g. "Track"

Drivetrain

The drivetrain field states what connects engines and motors to drive wheels. For compatibility with Template:Infobox automobile, you may continue to use transmission to describe multi-speed gearboxes (e.g. 6-speed manual).

Example:

| drivetrain = Series hybrid

Battery

The battery field states both the capacity and chemistry of the propulsion battery used in the vehicle. Do not include information about lead-acid, 12 V batteries ("SLI" or "starting, lighting and ignition" batteries) typically used with internal combustion engines that may be present in a hybrid electric vehicle.

Example:

<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline>| battery = 60 or 85 kWh lithium-ion</syntaxhighlight>

Range

The range field states the maximum range of the vehicle, combining all available on-board fuel and power sources. State both the range and the applicable certifying body or test regimen, for example, the WLTP, EPA or NEDC

Example:

<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline>| range = 379 miles (610 km) EPA</syntaxhighlight>

<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline>| range = 366 miles (589 km) NEDC</syntaxhighlight>

Electric range

The electric range field states the maximum range of the electric propulsion system, unassisted by any internal combustion engine that may be installed in the vehicle. State both the range and the applicable certifying body or test regimen, for example, the WLTP, EPA or NEDC

Examples:

<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline>| range =

• 265 mi (426 km) EPA

</syntaxhighlight>

<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline>| range =

• 85 kWh 265 mi (426 km) EPA, 300 mi (480 km) Tesla Motors, 310 mi (500 km) NEDC
• 60 kWh 208 mi (335 km) EPA 230 mi (370 km) Tesla Motors 233 mi (375 km) NEDC

</syntaxhighlight>

Charging

The charging field states the type of plug-in connector (e.g. CCS Combo 2, CHAdeMO, SAE J1772, IEC Type 2) and the vehicle's charging system limits (e.g. 50 kW DC)

Examples:

| charging = {{ubl | 11{{nbsp}}kW 85{{ndash}}265{{nbsp}}V onboard charger for 1ϕ 40{{nbsp}}A or 3ϕ 16{{nbsp}}A | Optional "Twin Charger" for 22{{nbsp}}kW for 1ϕ 80{{nbsp}}A or 3ϕ 32{{nbsp}}A | Optional supercharger for 100{{nbsp}}kW DC offboard charging, adapters for domestic AC sockets (120{{ndash}}240{{nbsp}}V) }}

Dimensions and weight

The wheelbase, length, width, height and weight fields are used to state dimensions and weights. Dimensions and weight may be stated as a range, when appropriate. For example, for a particular body style, the base model with the small engine usually weighs the least, while the same body style with a bigger, optional engine usually weighs more. If this is the case, the infobox shows the lowest weight and highest weight for a particular body style as a range. Moreover, different trim levels may be fitted with different bumpers, and this, among other reasons may contribute to different exterior dimensions that should likewise be expressed as a range.

Do list separate data for each body style (coupé, sedan, station wagon, etc), but do not list separate data for each trim or option level. Use the unbulleted list template to display multiple entries:

Examples:

| wheelbase = {{convert|2766|mm|in|1|abbr=on}}

| length = {{convert|4643|mm|in|1|abbr=on}}

| width = {{convert|1806|mm|in|1|abbr=on}}

| height = {{convert|1410|mm|in|1|abbr=on}}

| weight = {{convert|1628|-|1703|kg|lb|0|abbr=on}}

OR

| wheelbase = {{ubl | {{convert|2766|mm|in|1|abbr=on}} (sedan) | {{convert|2766|mm|in|1|abbr=on}} (wagon) }}

| length = {{ubl | {{convert|4643|mm|in|1|abbr=on}} (sedan) | {{convert|4668|mm|in|1|abbr=on}} (wagon) }}

| width = {{ubl | {{convert|1806|mm|in|1|abbr=on}} (sedan) | {{convert|1806|mm|in|1|abbr=on}} (wagon) }}

| height = {{ubl | {{convert|1410|-|1425|mm|in|1|abbr=on}} (sedan) | {{convert|1425|in|1|mm|abbr=on}} (wagon) }}

| weight = {{ubl | {{convert|1628|-|1703|kg|lb|0|abbr=on}} (sedan) | {{convert|1711|-|1768|kg|0|abbr=on}} (wagon) }}

Predecessor

The predecessor field states the manufacturer and model name of the vehicle that the subject vehicle replaced, if applicable. Wikilink the entry as appropriate.

Successor

The successor field states the manufacturer and model name of the vehicle that replaced the subject vehicle, if applicable. Wikilink the entry as appropriate.

Sp

The sp field controls the display spelling of the curb weight / kerb weight parameter in the infobox to match the spelling convention of the article.

Enter us for American English (default); enter uk for British English.

Notes

• Aka versus related: aka is intended for alternate names such as the name give in other countries markets, where the subject vehicle is offered under a different brand and/or model name. Vehicles listed the AKA field 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). Vehicles in the related field usually have their own articles.
