yup,just hated when people call it milo tin. Bcoz of these rules, ece, gssaso, trias,adr n fmvss, some cars eligible to be sold in certain countries, but not in others such saga, can be sold in japan, us, gulf n australia(and of course other countries that is non europe that not having any form of rules on safety) but not europe region coz some of the homogolation doesnt conform with ece directive n thatcham requirements.
Some eligible for all likes waja, persona, gen2, satria neo, savvy, exora n preve. Thats why u can see those cars mentioned available in europe, gulf countries, australia n even neo in japan.
Frankly,only saga dont homologate 100% according to ece regulation, so that not entitle to be sold in europe, but its compliance with trias, adr n gssaso standards, thats why it is sold in the countries mentioned. What is homogolation? Erm, simple thing to show is aircond knob between savvy n saga. Even saga not eligible to europe, but savvy is. N if u check the price between these 2 knobs, u will be shock on price diff, where savvy ac knob is far pricier than saga. N when u operate the knob, side by side, even u can feel the diff in tactility. That is according to ece regulation interm of design, material n safety. To produce saga folowing ece regulation can cost higher. Thats why even savvy is pricier than saga.
Thats why in asean region, many cars are actually not comply with ece regulation, so can reduce cost n getting a bit more profit. Thats why some other manufacturers have europe version of car, from the same variant n segment. Such hyundai elantra, for us, australia, asean, elantra md is eligible, but to europe, not, they need i30. Same as kia cerato@forte, the europe homogolation is for kia ceed, like vios n yaris, jazz n city n etc.
So, interm of homogolation n testing (not car comparison), saga has the same hnt as elantra, forte, city, vios n etc.
So, is it global enough even when some not meeting europe homogolation? What is a global car?
