Does car Air Con vary in hotter climates?

[Thankyou4calling]

Whenever I'm in the USA my rental cars AC feels colder than my own car. This though is usually a US vehicle.

Do manufacturers change the AC spec on a model depending on its selling location. For instance will an S Class Mercedes sold in the Middle East have more powerful AC than the same model sold in the UK or Sweden as standard?

Thanks for the answers. I'd be interested to get the definitive though as both Yes and No camps are out in force.

So far, I have concluded from this thread that

a) Aircon is definitely the same the world over.

and

b) Aircon is definitely different in hotter countries.



Thanks PH!

OP here. All the answers are welcome but I just wanted the definitive. I'm no nearer now than at the beginning though I know a little more about fridge placement.

Hmmm, we just need the OP to confirm that his US hire car was indeed a 1980's Arabian market RR then we will have our answer!

Alas not.

Generally a Dodge Durango or Ford Expedition.

OP here. Here is the question, in a nutshell and as specific as I can make it. If I buy a BMW 730d SE ( or similar) in London from an authorised dealer, will it or will it not, as standard have the same air con system as the BMW 730d SE ( or similar ) I buy from an authorised dealer in Abu Dhabi?
