Default Escape vs Rav 4 review CarExpert

https://www.carexpert.com.au/car-com...toyota-rav4-gx

One part I'd like to highlight:
Quote:
Despite our Escape coming from the Spanish factory that produces the European Kuga, the Australian model is fitted with an engine reserved for the North American market.
I'm assuming the 2.0L is used in other Euro built cars so the engine is shipped to Europe already or built in Europe as well.

Now my question is then how come the Endura (built in Canada) wasn't offered with the more powerful diesel available to UK buyers for a short time or why wasn't one of the Ecoboost engines offered to us. As is seems Ford Australia has been able to have a powertrain not offered to European buyers fitted down a European production line for a spec not offered to Europeans.
Or have I missed something?
