Stability & Traction Control

I believe I have read every review on the SX4 and it appears highly rated. However, even Canadian sites are unclear whether Stability & traction control are available on the JLX 4WD AT. Appears this is a standard feature in the US? If so, why? Is this just a marketing price point issue for Canadian market? For the added safety and control I am surprised that this would be excluded in the Canadian market, particularly with the more severe weather than US. Can this be requested as an option?

The SX4 Base model in the US does not have TCS ro ESC. The sport model does, so there is an upgrade required to get it here in the states. I bet what ever the top model offered in Canada is, it will have Traction control, I belive that is the way it is in Japan.
