The make of a car refers to the brand or company that manufactured the vehicle, while the model indicates a specific version or variation of the car. For example, Toyota is a make, and Corolla is a model of a car made by Toyota. The make of a car is usually the first word in the pair, followed by the model. Car manufacturers such as Ford, Chevrolet, Nissan, Honda, Toyota, and Volkswagen are all examples of vehicle makes. Specific car models for each of these makes are the Taurus, Camaro, Altima, Civic, and Jetta, respectively. The make and model are used to describe a specific car and are frequently used together, but can sometimes be used separately. The make and model of a car can usually be determined by checking the emblems, logos, and badging on the exterior of the car.
