October 05, 2025

OPENLANE, Inc. announced the launch of Audio Boost AI, a new feature integrated into its U.S. marketplace designed to provide dealers with enhanced confidence and speed in evaluating vehicles. This AI-powered tool is embedded directly within vehicle condition reports for dealer-consigned vehicles.

Audio Boost AI pairs high-quality engine audio recordings with AI-generated highlights that flag potential issues, alongside sample recordings of a comparable 'normal' engine for quick benchmarking. The AI model has been trained on OPENLANE's proprietary database, which includes over 1.2 million engine recordings.

This innovation builds upon the success of Visual Boost AI and Code Boost IQ, both introduced in 2024, further strengthening OPENLANE's commitment to leveraging advanced technology. The tool aims to help buyers make faster and more informed bidding and buying decisions by offering unprecedented clarity into a vehicle's cosmetic, diagnostic, and engine health.
