What Car? editor-in-chief Chas Hallett said: "The What Car? app will be invaluable to anyone buying or selling a vehicle because it gives unparalleled access to the most comprehensive and reliable data in the market. Wherever or whenever, it will give people the confidence that the deal they are making is the right one."

The app features:

Used-car valuation – find an accurate valuation by entering the make, model, bodystyle, version, year and mileage of the car.. The app breaks down valuations by dealer price, private price, part-exchange and trade price.

New-car valuation – it’s easy to find an accurate list price for each model and a What Car? target price, which shows an achievable discount on that car.

What Car? independent expert advice – What Car?’s expert opinion, our universally trusted and acknowledged star rating, plus reliability ratings.

Find the nearest dealer – for searched models, based on current location using GPS, or by postcode.
