Main source categories
Recall notices
Used for recall search and recall interpretation articles. The current local CSV is a Jan 2026 snapshot, with the next refresh planned for late 2026 and then every six months. Recall count is not treated as a direct quality score.
Specs, pricing and ownership costs
Used for model pages, comparisons and the ownership-cost estimate. Model v1.4 exposes source classes, confidence, uncertainty ranges and editable assumptions. Always replace illustrative defaults with current dealer, insurer and registration quotes.
AI visibility checks
Used for internal monitoring of AI referral traffic, crawler access, branded search and manual citation tests. These signals do not change vehicle rankings or buyer recommendations.
Update standard
Snapshot datasets
Recall and ANCAP tables state their coverage period. Their date describes the dataset, not necessarily the date you are reading the page.
Fast-changing information
PHEV status, pricing, availability and announced specifications are reviewed more often and carry a visible checked date where they affect the buying conclusion.
Status language
Models are labelled on sale, incoming or watchlist. Announced figures are kept separate from confirmed Australian production specifications.
Corrections
Material corrections update the affected page and are recorded in the public update log so readers can see what changed.
How to read the site
Scores are shortlist tools
Scores and rankings are designed to structure research, not replace inspection, test drives, finance checks, insurance quotes or professional advice.
PHEV claims need extra caution
Battery range, towing and payload are especially sensitive to test cycle, grade, load, accessories and driving pattern. Concept-stage models such as Chery KP31 should be treated as watchlist information until final Australian specifications arrive.
AI-curated summaries are labelled
Review pages organise public-source themes into readable buyer summaries. They are not road tests conducted by Auto Insight Lab by AutoScore360.
Corrections are welcome
If a source, specification or link is outdated, use the contact and corrections page so the site can be updated cleanly.
