If you are going to buy a toyota vehicle and order one. Which are CBU and which are CKD?

CBU - Completely Built Unit
CKD - Completely Knocked Down Unit

Is is true that Toyota Land Cruiser, Toyota Rav4, FJ Cruiser, and Toyota Corolla Altis are CBU units and the rest are CKDs?

Parts are brought in and assembled locally. These term became popular when TMPC launched the AE92 Corolla in 1989. The first units brought in were SKD from Japan (semi knock down - basically imported almost fully built w some parts like tyres batteries installed locally). When the manufacturing facilities were down pat, they shifted to CKD (complete knock down). Premium was of course given to the Japan assembled vehicles. Mas matibay daw, mas malakas daw, etc.
