In China, this RAV4 generation doesn't even wear the RAV4 name — GAC Toyota sells it as the Toyota Wildlander instead, with its own front-end styling.
This CR-V generation did the unthinkable: in the first half of 2026 it outsold the Ford F-Series to become the best-selling vehicle in America.
This Crosstrek broke a decades-long pattern: for the first time, Subaru builds the 2.5-liter Sport and Limited trims in the US, in Lafayette, Indiana, instead of shipping them all from Japan.
The SK Forester's hybrid battery doesn't hide under the floor like most hybrids' — Subaru mounted it above the rear axle specifically to improve the car's front/rear weight balance.
Mazda promised a US diesel CX-5 for 2017 — it didn't actually arrive until 2019, and only for a single model year on the top Signature trim.
The redesigned Trax is physically bigger than GM's own Trailblazer, yet reportedly sells for about $5,000 less on average — a crossover upsized without the usual price hike.
Holden badged this Trax the Trax TJ while Chevrolet sold the same Korean-built crossover as the Tracker in South America.
The fifth-gen CR-V's 2020 refresh made Honda's full driver-assist safety suite standard on every trim - even the cheapest CR-V got adaptive cruise control and automatic crash prevention.
For this generation, Honda split the HR-V nameplate in two: the rest of the world got the Vezel-based original, while North America and China got a completely different, larger HR-V built on the Civic platform.
This HR-V started life as a concept literally called Urban SUV, and Honda sold it as the Vezel everywhere that mattered at home.
This generation killed off the ix35 badge everywhere, reverting Hyundai's whole global lineup back to the Tucson name.
This Tucson isn’t one car worldwide — Hyundai builds it on two different wheelbases so different regions get different amounts of room.
This Sportage generation isn't one car — Kia built two different body lengths and wheelbases for different world markets under the same name.
Kia said the QL's mix of sharp edges and smooth surfaces was inspired by modern fighter jets.
Mazda made the CX-5 75mm longer between the wheels for 2026, and threw out its own infotainment for Google's instead.
The second Crosstrek switched to the Subaru Global Platform, the same architecture underpinning the Ascent and Impreza.
From the 2026 model year the Forester is built in Lafayette, Indiana as well as Japan, Subaru's first US-built Forester.
The sixth-generation RAV4 drops the pure-gas engine entirely, the first RAV4 sold only as a hybrid or plug-in hybrid.
