Sure, but try to import a euro-spec Volvo or Mercedes into USA or Canada and the safety authorities will treat you like you’re pointing a gun at them.

- CRConrad 3y agoThe body of the car is identical. It would make no commercial sense to build the same vehicle with a rigid passenger cell surrounded by crumple zones for some markets, and in some other fashion for others. Any spec differences are equipment, peripherals, and engines – so performance, fuel economy, and exhaust cleanliness may differ, but not passive safety. ETA: Also, many of those Euro-standard “European” cars are built in the USA and exported to their “home“ markets.
