Quick answer
In short
Specification sheets are useful when the buyer knows which fields matter. Use this order when comparing two configurations.
Start with powertrain and drive
Identify petrol, diesel, hybrid or electric powertrain, then check front-wheel drive, rear-wheel drive or four-wheel drive. Confirm the exact wording with the export contact when a field is unclear.
Check dimensions and capacity
Review length, width, height, wheelbase, seats, payload and fuel or battery information. These fields help your broker and fleet team assess destination suitability.
Separate published data from confirmation items
Photos and supplied specifications are a starting point. Confirm the exact configuration, current availability and export documents before placing an order.
