AutoCheck VHR and Automotive Intelligence Engine

Synergy is the concept that the value and performance of two items combined will be greater than the sum of the separate individual parts. Did you know that AutoCheck® Elite dealer subscribers receive additional functionality if they use the Automotive Intelligence EngineTM (AIE) marketing solution? Read on to learn about the enhanced features you’ll receive to make sure you’re leveraging all available benefits.

First, let’s recap the two solutions

What is the Automotive Intelligence Engine?  This is Experian’s marketing solution that leverages our world-class consumer, vehicle, and credit data to provide dealers with market insights, marketing strategies, and powerful audience creation to reach the best consumer prospects with messages that resonate.

What is AutoCheck? AutoCheck is the industrial-strength Vehicle History Report (VHR) that automotive professionals trust to help manage risk and confidently buy and sell more of the right vehicles. The AutoCheck Elite program goes beyond vehicle history, offering dealers valuable insights into the market, vehicles, and the people who buy them – to help dealers sell more cars.

Let’s look at how the synergy between AutoCheck Elite and AIE can benefit dealers.

Ease of use in your workflow

You can run an individual AutoCheck vehicle history report from within AIE. There’s no reason to log into another system or go anywhere else to access the vehicle history information for a specific VIN.

Easily and quickly run open recall reports

Easily access an Open Recall Report for all your listed inventory whenever you need it and as often as you like. Run the report in real-time to learn which of your units have an open recall and what that recall information is: the recall date, the recall detail, and the recall.

Review inventory analysis and benchmark reports

You can view key performance indicators for every unit of your inventory at-a-glance. For example, what is the AutoCheck Score? Is the vehicle eligible for Buyback Protection? Does the unit have any reported accidents? Does it have single or multiple owners? What are the days of inventory, and how does that compare to the Experian average? (The Experian average is based on inventory for all AIE clients).

You can also learn how your inventory compares to the Experian dealer average inventory. For example, what percentage of your inventory are one-owner units, and by what percentage are you above or below that Experian dealer average?

By combining the power of the Automotive Intelligence Engine with AutoCheck vehicle history data, dealers can receive additional insights into their inventory.  To learn more about AIE check out our blog Automotive Marketing in a Cookieless World  or how to Use Automotive Data Insights to Drive Pre-Order Sales.

Used EV Growth Signals a New Phase of Consumer Purchasing Behavior

The electric vehicle (EV) revolution isn’t slowing down, it’s changing lanes. While recent conversations have seemingly focused on softening demand for new EVs, the used segment has been gaining momentum. According to Experian Automotive’s 2025 EV Year in Review Report, new retail individual EV registrations fell 35.9% year-over-year. Meanwhile, the used retail individual EV registrations grew 25.4% from a year ago. As affordability and growing model availability reshapes consumer behavior, buyers are increasingly turning to pre-owned EVs, which has shown an interesting market divergence that is redefining how consumers are adopting this segment and what it can mean for automakers, dealers, and the overall industry. Key players behind rising used EV demand Notably, Tesla accounted for over half (60.5%) of used retail individual EV registrations in 2025, followed by Chevrolet at 6.4% and Nissan (5.5%). Diving a bit deeper, Tesla made up the top three models of the used individual registrations last year, with the Model 3 coming in at 27.2%, Model Y at 21.7%, and Model S (6.6%). The Chevrolet Bolt EV followed at 4.8% and the Nissan Leaf was at 4%. Tesla’s position as the leading make in the used EV market is a natural extension of its long-standing dominance in new EV sales. The brand’s leadership over the years created a large fleet of vehicles that are now entering the pre-owned market. What the used EV boom means for automotive professionals The growing demand for used EVs can present more opportunities for automotive professionals. Dealers that provide a healthy supply of pre-owned EVs can increase accessibility and play a role in adoption for consumers who are actively looking to purchase, while marketers can emphasize value and ownership benefits. As the market continues to evolve, automotive professionals who understand and respond to these changing dynamics will be best positioned to capitalize on the expanding pool of used EV shoppers.
