Infobox vehicle is WikiPartner's standard infobox for notable cars, motorcycles, buses, trucks, vans, and other road-vehicle models and model families.
All parameters are optional. Add only information supported by reliable sources. Empty fields are automatically hidden.
Adding this template to an article also generates WikiPartner Vehicle structured data automatically. Supported vehicle types may use more specific Schema.org types such as Car, Motorcycle, BusOrCoach, or MotorizedBicycle.
This template is intended mainly for vehicle models and model families, not individual used vehicles. VINs, odometer readings, ownership history, registration records, sale prices, and similar vehicle-specific commercial data should normally not be included.

Vehicle types
Use a clear value in vehicle_type.
WikiPartner maps these values to specific Schema.org types:
Car→CarAutomobile→CarMotorcycle→MotorcycleMotorbike→MotorcycleBus→BusOrCoachCoach→BusOrCoachBus or coach→BusOrCoachMotorized bicycle→MotorizedBicycle
Other values such as Pickup truck, Van, Truck, or Utility vehicle use the general Schema.org Vehicle type while preserving the vehicle category.

Usage notes
- Use
namefor the commonly recognized vehicle name. - Use
other_namefor another widely recognized name, abbreviation, or market name. - Use
imagefor the vehicle image filename only. Do not includeFile:.... - Use
image_altfor short alternative text describing the image. - Use only properly licensed images.
- Use
captiononly when the image needs a useful caption. - Use
vehicle_typefor a clear category such as Car, Motorcycle, Pickup truck, Bus, Van, or Truck. - The older
typeparameter is accepted as an alias forvehicle_type. - Use
brandfor the brand or marque under which the vehicle is sold. - Use
manufacturerfor the organization that manufactures the vehicle. - Do not automatically assume the brand and manufacturer are always the same organization.
- Use
designeronly when a vehicle or generation has a clearly credited designer. - Use
modelfor the official model name. - Use
generationwhen the article describes a specific generation. - Use
model_yearwhen information applies to one particular model year. - Use
country_of_originfor the country in which the vehicle model originated. - Use
introducedfor the human-readable introduction or first-release date. - Use
introduced_isoonly when the exact date is known. UseYYYY-MM-DD. - Use
productionfor the production period, such as2012–present. - Use
assemblyfor major assembly locations when useful and reliably documented. - Use
classfor an established vehicle class such as compact car, full-size car, pickup truck, or luxury vehicle. - Use
body_stylefor body types such as sedan, hatchback, coupe, wagon, pickup, or step-through motorcycle. - Use
layoutfor a recognized mechanical layout when relevant. - Use
platformwhen the vehicle uses a clearly identified automotive platform. - Use
vehicle_configurationfor another important configuration description that does not fit the other fields. - Use
enginefor internal-combustion or other engine information. - Use

doorsas a number when appropriate. - Use
colorandinterior_colormainly for a specific variant or model when the information is useful. - Use
relatedfor closely related vehicles sharing a platform, lineage, or major engineering relationship. - Use
predecessorandsuccessoronly when a clear model-line relationship exists. - Use
