Methodology

Number of generation records per brand. A model without separate generations counts as one generation. This shows the depth of our catalog, not sales or production volume.

Values come from the 1CARS catalog. Part of the specifications are extracted from our articles and not yet checked by an editor; obvious outliers are excluded. Figures describe the cars in our catalog, not the whole market.
