Check Vehicle Safety and Fuel Economy

Look up crash test safety ratings, fuel economy figures, and outstanding recalls for any vehicle before buying.

Vehicle Data

Choosing between two vehicles often comes down to safety and running cost, but finding accurate, comparable safety ratings and fuel economy figures across different makes and models requires navigating multiple government databases that are not designed for easy comparison.

Vehicle Data's `safety_ratings`, `fuel_economy`, and `check_recalls` skills pull official safety test scores, MPG/range data, and recall history for any vehicle and return them in a consistent format. You can compare two cars on the same metrics without switching between databases or interpreting different rating scales.

Car buyers, fleet managers, and fleet procurement teams use this to compare vehicles objectively before a purchasing decision, check whether a shortlisted model has an unresolved safety recall, and calculate real-world running costs from official fuel economy figures.
