I do not know all the difference but to get you started. Speedo in mph, no rear fog lamp, orange reflectors, different airbag techno, Right hand drive (matters depending on where you are)

I read somewhere the for the Stinger Korea, USA, CAN were using the most advanced airbag but most of European countries were using a different technology. So you will probably not be able to fit and European airbag to your USA Stinger... You will have to make sure you buy the right air bag.

USA, no fog lamps. You want to talk to @General_Vodka about taking on a damaged Stinger project.

Also, the brake pads.

The Euro pads are better, and apparently a good bit pricier than the NA pads.

Aren't the gauge clusters dual units? Mine (MY19) is, although while the digital display has a setting for metric/imperial units, it doesn't change the digital speedo to mph. Also Britain is the only place in Europe that's RHD and uses mph. Mostly because it's an island. Everywhere on mainland Europe is LHD and uses km/h. Northern Ireland does too, because it shares a land border with Ireland.

The rear turn signals for vehicles in Europe are amber, so you will have to change them out if you get a US vehicle.
