model years

Vehicle edition spans

Model years are the annual production cycles by which manufacturers identify vehicles, appliances, and other durable goods.

A car's model year typically runs ahead of the calendar—a 2025 model year vehicle often appears in showrooms in fall 2024.

The system helps track features, recalls, and resale values: What model years had the transmission problems?
