Every line above carries one of UNKNOWN / UNCERTAIN / SUPPORTED / MEASURED / KNOWN. Prices are asking prices from live UAE listings, not completed sales. Knowledge is only used when it is sourced and its applicability reaches a GCC car; anything scoped to another market is listed separately and is not used.
