About 1cars
1cars is an independent online car encyclopedia and news site. We publish model profiles, generation guides, specifications, comparisons, automotive history and car news for readers in Europe, the United States and worldwide.
Our mission
We want every reader to understand a car before buying, driving or restoring it: what it is, how it differs from its predecessor and rivals, and which facts are confirmed. We write in plain English, give metric and imperial units, and quote prices in euros with the year and market they refer to.
Our team
Articles and news are written and checked by our authors. Each author has a profile page with their background, areas of expertise and all their articles:
- Oleksandr Hnatiuk — Automotive Editor & Used Car Specialist
- Felix Hartmann — Automotive Technology & EV Contributor
- Sarah Whitmore — Senior Automotive Writer
Sponsored publications are signed by the editorial team and marked as sponsored; they are kept separate from our editorial articles.
Editorial standards

- News is based on an official primary source, which we name and link in the article.
- Every text is reviewed, fact-checked and approved by an editor before publication.
- Press photos are credited to their source under the image.
