How we compared

Public sources, dated.

Comparison made on 26 October 2026, using only what each publisher states: its website, its documentation, its App Store or Google Play listing (description, release notes, compatibility). No user reviews, no forums, no press articles. “Not stated publicly” means the publisher doesn’t mention it on these pages, which doesn’t mean the feature doesn’t exist. Features often depend on the car’s model and services. For Sparks: the test versions described on our mobile app and car app pages. Brand pages come from their French websites, with the country named in each source; features can vary from one country to another.
