Obviously different features and trim packages are a major difference in the Sorentos.
Warranty is different
US Sorentos built in US, AU Sorentos built in Korea
US Sorentos have gas (petrol) engines only, AU Sorentos are also available with a diesel engine

Right. All of that is in basic specifications. I'm talking about more specific things like a larger radiator/tranny cooler.
