The Car World's Going Crazy! (And Data's the Reason)
Things are pretty wild in the car world right now. New models are popping up left and right – from the much-anticipated Audi Q5 2026 to the Subaru Outback's revamp. And Chery Automobile's throwing a fixed-price sale into the mix! It's exciting, sure, but there's a quieter revolution happening behind the scenes that's just as important: a huge leap forward in used car information.
VINView Pro: A Game Changer for Used Cars
JATO Dynamics, those automotive data wizards, just dropped VINView Pro. This thing is a lifesaver for anyone dealing with used cars. It's been a real headache for dealers, online marketplaces, and even fleets to get perfectly accurate specs and pricing on used vehicles. That's where VINView Pro comes in, partnering with AutoGrab and using some seriously smart AI. It digs up every detail about a car using its VIN or license plate — options, standard features, the whole shebang. It takes that complex factory data and translates it into something everyone can use. Honestly, who knew getting a car's history could be this efficient? They're making it available through JATO's Sales Link platform or an API. Paul Hilton, Head of Retail at JATO Dynamics, says the demand for this kind of accurate data is huge. And he's right.
