Svx Models, How Many Produced?

[b3lha]

What do we think about the first digit. Does it reflect the model year? CXW002xxx for MY92. CXW003xxx for MY93 etc? It seems to me that 5002 and 6002 are a bit too coincidental for it to be anything else.

My S40ii is CXW005082 and we know they made 300 of them in any colour you like as long as it's emerald or silver. I reckon that May to Aug 94 is the entire run of S40ii.

I'd also guess that Jan to Mar 93 was the S40. What number is your car Joe?

I reckon the jump between 65xx and 67xx is the breakpoint between S3 and S4.

Phil,
S40 should be classified as 1993?
S40II classified as 1994?
S3?
S4?

I dunno Ron, I'm just speculating. The dates for each model were on JamSVX's website somewhere.

There is also this page showing JDM specs.

If the link doesn't work, open language tools and do a japanese to engrish translation of http://www001.upp.so-net.ne.jp/missi...u/svx/svx.html

Right at the bottom, for the S4 model it says -SW for the standard car and -SA for the optional sunroof.

That worked great , a terrific resource!! Not bad for a days work
By this document, there were three APPLIED MODELS in Japan for the entire production run:

CXD A25E- VERSION-L, 4WS
CXW A23E- VERSION-E, S40, S40II, S4
CXW D22E- S3 [does not have VLSD rear diff]

Okay, so far:

CXW AY7E- 92+? LS-L

UK:
CXW BK7E-

CXW A23E- VERSION-E, S40, S40II, S4
CXD A25E- VERSION-L
CXW D22E- S3

MID-EAST:
CXW TE0R- GCC, with roof [sun]

Thanks for that Phil. It's brilliant, although not everything translates successfully.

My 92 LS is not handy, I can't add that Model to the list.
Joe, looking forward to your updates, per data collected

[NeedForSpeed]

Please move this thread to the Registration Forum,
seems more appropriate, thanks

[b3lha]

Ron,

Did you see the link that Silverspear posted in the oem rarities thread. There's a picture of the VIN plate from an S40 model. Applied model code CXWA23E option code 7XC.

[NeedForSpeed]

US:
CXW AY7E- 92 LS-L
CXV CY5E- 94 [FWD?]
CXW DY7E- 95 LSi
CXW FY7E- 97 LSi

AU
CXW AU7E- 92
CXW DU7E- 95

UK:
CXW AK7E- 92
CXW BK7E- [95 registration]

FR:
CXW BL7E-

SWISS:
CXW CL7E- [95 registration]

JAPAN:
CXW A23E- VERSION-E, S40, S40II
CXD A25E- VERSION-L
CXW D22E- S3
CXW D23E- S4?

MID-EAST:
CXW TE0R- GCC, with roof [sun]
CXW TE0S- GCC, without roof
CXW BL0E- for Levant

NZ:
CXD A25E- VERSION-L




OKAY, check it out, we have enough information to begin to decode the APPLIED MODEL,

All SVX registration lists should be categorized by APPLIED MODEL YEAR:
A, B, C, D, E, F.

CX@ A, 1992
CX@ B, 1993
CX@ C, 1994
CX@ D, 1995
CX@ E, 1996
CX@ F, 1997

Further, the following conclusions seem evident:

CXD- AWD-4WS
CXW- AWD
CXV- FWD

The fifth character seems to indicate a world market, but I don’t have enough Model numbers to determine if Canada and US are the same.
This is what seems correct at this point:

CXWA Y 7E,, Y= US [North America?]
CXWA K 7E,, K= United Kingdom [?]
CXWA L 7E,, L= EURO [France, Swiss so far]
CXWA U 7E,, U= Australia
CXWA 2 3E,, 2= Japanese Domestic Market
CXWA 2 5E,,
CXWT E 0R,, E= Gulf region [GCC]

All codes seem to end in E, except Dan’s GCC 'R' code, perhaps this is a code for non-catalyst

All codes have consistant A-F Manufacture, except Dan's GCC 'T' code.

What seems to be left, is to figure out the 6th and 7th characters

Phil,
From the charts you linked, this VIN, the letter 'A', and Jamsvx production dates, it seems that VE, VL, S40 and S40II each began production in/after September 1991

[b3lha]

Sorry if these have been posted before. I just found some beautifully scanned JDM SVX catalogues.

I think the "A" in the code means the year that the "type" was first produced. Not the year the car was produced. The VE, S40 and S40ii are all considered to be the same type, and that type was first produced in 1991.
