Method and data

We count the years a model name has been in continuous production, from the start of the earliest generation in an unbroken run to the end of the latest one (or today, if it is still built). Breaks of up to 5 years, such as the pause in car production during the Second World War, do not reset the count; longer breaks do. Only nameplates with generation years in our catalog are ranked. How we collect and check data

Ranked: 912 of 1,149 models in the 1CARS catalog have a figure for this list.
