Coverage where other systems stop
Chinese & new-energy brands
BYD, Zeekr, Li Auto, Avatr, Xiaomi, NIO, XPeng, Denza, AITO and 30+ more - the makers flooding GCC roads that legacy recognition systems still miss.
Luxury & exotic
Ferrari, Lamborghini, McLaren, Rolls-Royce, Bentley, Aston Martin, Maybach - validated on real listing photos, not press renders.
Regional depth
Trained on marketplaces across the UAE, Saudi Arabia, CIS and Southeast Asia - so Lada, GAZ, UAZ and Proton are covered alongside the global marques.
How it works
- 1
A detection model finds and crops every car in the image, so backgrounds never pollute the prediction.
- 2
A classification model reads the crop - body lines, grille, lights, proportions - and returns the top 5 brand candidates with probabilities.
Because the model reads the whole vehicle rather than the badge, it still works when the logo is obscured, distant or missing.
Frequently asked questions
How many car brands can the API recognize?
181 brands, spanning European, American, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Russian and Indian manufacturers - including more than 40 Chinese and new-energy makers such as BYD, Zeekr, Li Auto, Avatr and Xiaomi.
Does it detect the logo?
No - it reads the entire vehicle: proportions, grille, lights and body lines. That means it works even when the badge is hidden, blurred or out of frame.
What if a brand I need is not on the list?
Contact us. The pipeline is retrained continuously on new marketplace data, and brand requests from customers are prioritized in the next training cycle.
What does the response look like?
A label, a confidence score, and the top-5 probability distribution - for example Porsche at 0.78 followed by the next four candidates. You choose the confidence threshold that fits your use case.
