Editorial policy — how we verify

Last updated: October 2026

1. Sources, in order of preference

1. Official brand channels — the brand's website, verified pages, or press releases.
2. Dated news coverage — established outlets reporting launches, prices or policy (with the date captured).
3. Dealer listings — used only for price reality-checking, never as the sole source for a spec.

Every model page and guide lists its sources at the bottom.

2. Conflict handling

When two credible sources disagree (for example, range figures on the box versus the website), we publish the most recent official figure and note the discrepancy instead of silently picking a nicer number.

3. Unverified means unverified

Where something is plausible but unconfirmed — an OEM relationship that is widely reported but never officially announced, for example — it is written as "reported", "unconfirmed" or left out of structured data. We never present a guess as a fact in a spec table.

4. Prices

Prices carry a monthly review stamp (currently October 2026). If you see a page whose stamp is older than a month, that is a bug worth reporting.

5. Corrections

Corrections are welcome from anyone — readers, dealers and brands alike — and are applied on evidence, not pressure. Material corrections are noted on the page. Brands cannot pay for placement, better rankings or softer verdicts. Advertising and sponsorship are clearly labelled and kept separate from content — see what is available and what is never for sale.

6. Opinions and verdicts

"Best for" labels, strengths and trade-offs are editorial opinions grounded in the structured data shown on the same page — you can always see the figures behind the judgement and disagree with it.
