It is the same vehicle. Most probably the difference will be in trim and equipment levels. Don't expect navigation systems on local units. Don't expect those Aussie bumper taillamps, Mid-east spec jerrycans, moonroof or integrated foglamps.

Do expect to have a hard spare tire covers (some markets use only a vinyl cover) and fender mounted signal lamps (U.S. models don't have these.

As for the engine and other stuff, it will be basically the same.

I would get it from a grey market importer and expect a Dubai-spec unit. :D

all we have here in the forums is pure speculation. we cant really tell unless we see the local release firsthand.

Ang daming systems ang mga Paje na hindi included sa locally asssembled units, lets just wait and see whats in ours.

Meron dubai spec akong nakita sa makati autocenter. 2.8M ang asking. black. pogi.

Im not really familiar with all of its features, but as far as i can recall, all options yung unit na nakita ko. kaya lang ang baduy kasi may hood ornament pa

V6 engine with InvecsII tranny.

Dubai-specs yung mga galing sa Middle East. These are the most well equipped models. Even more well equipped than the US models.

In Standout Motors near Aurora Blvd. the 5-door goes for Php 2.7M while the 3-door sells for Php 2.1M. Expect 4WD to make a comeback as this feature is no longer slapped with a 100% excise tax.

Personally, its the local dealer for me. For a vehicle that expensive and complex, I'd expect a full factory warranty to back it up.
