What are the differences between US-spec and China-spec vehicles?
1 Answers
The differences between US-spec and China-spec vehicles are as follows: 1. Different configurations: US-spec vehicles are mostly produced based on personalized orders according to the needs of the owners. Consumers generally choose additional features on top of a basic configuration, which also results in US-spec vehicles usually having fewer standard features compared to China-spec vehicles (features like xenon headlights, adjustable suspension, and sunroof are often standard in China-spec luxury vehicles but usually optional in US-spec models). 2. Different performance: US traffic regulations place greater emphasis on vehicle safety performance. Equipment related to personal safety, such as tire pressure monitoring systems, anti-lock braking systems (ABS), and Electronic Stability Program (ESP) systems, are mandatory installations for vehicles. In China, as of now, there are no mandatory installation standards for ABS. 3. Different displays: The display interface of US-spec models is in English, while China-spec models have fully localized Chinese interfaces. However, this difference is not absolute, as some dealers may localize the display interface.
