@L_D_G Depends on which country the vehicle is sold in. The local distributor can specify different things in different countries. Example: Mazda Australia decided cruise control was needed on entry-level Mazda 2 Neo models. In other markets buyers had to get the next model up, the Maxx, for cruise control.
@peemee yeah, my guess is it could be a Standard vs Limited Edition thing. Just shocked my 2009 had it and my 2016 doesn't.
