Here is what we have so far for WORLD-MARKET DNA:
CXW* 2*E: RHD; Japan
CXW* E*R,S: LHD; Gulf region [GCC]
CXW* K*E: RHD; United Kingdom
CXW* L*E: LHD; EURO [France, Swiss, Paraguay, Levant (Lebanon)]
CXW* U*E: RHD; [AU, NZ]
CXW* Y*E: LHD; North America [US, CDN] |
Okay, back to the task at hand
,
Re-evaluation of link by Phil, with current observations:
Example:
CXDA25E [JDM VERSION-L 4WS]
Digit 1,
‘C’ reveals the series name: SVX
Digit 2,
‘X’ is the base type of the body: SAFETY VEHICLE X
Digit 3,
‘D’ reveals drive system: D=4WS/4WD, W=4WD, V=2WD
Digit 4,
‘A’ is annual refurbishment, will change each time a minor change: ABCDEF; A=92, B=93, C=94, D=95, E=96, F=97
Digit 5,
‘2’ is number of doors Japan home market:
LETTERS SUBSTITUTED for EXPORT MARKETS
Digit 6,
‘5’ reveals grade: high-grade=larger number; Graded by Subaru as to STD
‘luxury’ content
[my conclusion, the SVX is known as a personal 'luxury' touring coupe]
Digit 7,
‘E’ reveals Electronic transmission: E 4AT DOHC 24V [??] [SilverSpear’s GCC examples does not follow, special-orders?] *In light of SilverSpear's Applied Model Codes, I still lean toward E= EMISSION/ NON-E
GRADING LOOKS TO BE BASED ON STANDARD EQUIPMENT
GRADE 0: NOT GRADED
GRADE 2: VLSD delete
Sample: JDM-S3
GRADE 3:
Sample: JDM-Version-E, S40, S40II, S4
GRADE 5: ABS, CRUISE CONTROL, LEATHER
Sample: JDM-Version-L
GRADE 7: ABS, CRUISE CONTROL, LEATHER, AIRBAG, SUNROOF
Sample: US-LS-L/ LSi, UK, AU, EURO, etc.
* Grade ‘7’ with VTD ranks higher than a ‘7’ with ACT, glass lamps rank above plastic lamps, etc.
Soon, it will be time for US to grade and rank the ‘7E’ models around the world, each to each
