They have the same engine but with a few mods, a newer gearbox is also fitted with different ratios, and a new style exhaust making them sound slightly different.

Also with the new Pulsars, unless the Handbreak is applied when the vehicle stops at bus stops, the alarm will go off once the doors open, which can be annoying.

Not forgetting the five orange marker lights along the skirting, the low-set rear number plate, the seven (yes SEVEN) emergency exits and the fire hammers fitted in the ceiling above every emergency window exit
