55-546: The Wagon R has been the best-selling kei car in Japan since 2003. In 2008, Suzuki produced its three-millionth Wagon R. Sales reached 5 million at the end of February 2010. The first generation Wagon R is 1,640 mm (64.6 in) high, or 255 mm (10.0 in) taller (170 mm (6.7 in) internally) than the JDM Suzuki Alto sold at the same time (which was exactly the same length and width, as dictated by

110-431: A non-tariff barrier . An additional problem was that the repetitive sound could induce sleep in drowsy drivers. Some models used electromechanical glockenspiel -type systems, while other models used a buzzer. Due to that, nickname for speed chime is kinkon (キンコン), an onomatopoeia for a clanging sound. Several manufacturers continued to offer speed chimes as an option until the early 2000s. The last vehicle to come with

165-525: A rear-wheel-drive configuration, and had a slightly detuned 50 PS (49 hp; 37 kW) version of the engine. In December 2019, Suzuki introduced a brand new R engine for the 2020 model Suzuki Wagon R and second-generation Suzuki Hustler . It's a naturally aspirated 657 cc (40.1 cu in) inline-three petrol engine, known as the R06D. Only available in naturally-aspirated form and produced 48 hp (49 PS; 36 kW). The R06A

220-407: A vehicle identification number as is common overseas. Instead, they use either a frame number, chassis number, or vehicle ID number and also a model code as well as an emissions code to identify their vehicles. The frame number identifies the vehicles model and serial number. For example, frame number SV30-0169266 breaks down as "SV30" identifying the model as Toyota Camry/Vista and "0169266" being

275-477: A boom hit among small workshops and mostly being supplied by local manufacturers in the Philippines which they made Philippine Jeepneys since the 1980s. Popular truck engines being supplied are Isuzu & Mitsubishi Fuso Canter, sometimes, depending from the local clients, they often requested to supply diesel engines from Mazda and Nissan to install them not just for jeepneys, but also called as AUV which

330-534: A car in Japan travels a yearly average of over only 9,300 kilometres (5,800 mi), less than half the U.S. average of 19,200 kilometres (11,900 mi). Japanese domestic market vehicles may differ greatly from the cars that Japanese manufacturers build for export and vehicles derived from the same platforms built in other countries. The Japanese car owner looks more toward innovation than long-term ownership which forces Japanese carmakers to refine new technologies and designs first in domestic vehicles. For instance,

385-613: A driver exceeds 105 km/h (65 mph) for standard cars and 85 km/h (53 mph) for kei cars . This speed chime was first mandated on November 21, 1974, according to Article 1 of the "Ministerial Ordinance for Partial Revision of Safety Standards for Road Transport Vehicles". Under pressure from the United States and other foreign producers, this requirement was removed in 1986 with "Ministerial Ordinance for Partial Revision of Safety Standards for Road Transport Vehicles" (Ministry of Transport Ordinance No. 3 of 1986) as being

440-460: A fine of 50,000 pesos (approx. $ 1,000). And most of the used buses from Japan in Manila, Philippines are mostly operating within the city and intercity travel which are at least 10 years of age after being phased out in Japan. As early also in the 1990s, there is no exception that there will be a Japanese domestic market trucks to be called as "Japan Surplus Trucks" for auction & export to any of

495-419: A number of import specialists sprung up to cater for this "grey import" market of relatively inexpensive but interesting motorcycles. In the later '90s as Japan's economy fell into recession it became less profitable to export and Japanese owners held on to their bikes for longer. The last global crash all but ended the "grey import" industry with the big specialist importers closing down. Cars manufactured for

550-517: A replacement to the K6A that had been in production since 1994, the R06A features four valves per cylinder (for a total of 12), dual overhead camshafts , with a bore and stroke of 64.0 and 68.2 mm (2.52 and 2.69 in) respectively. In addition, the size and weight of the engine were reduced by adopting a cylinder head integrated into the exhaust manifold and a simpler catalyst case structure. While this

605-504: A strict motor vehicle inspection and grey markets. JDM is also used as a term colloquially to refer to cars produced in Japan but sold in other countries. JDM does not necessarily refer to the market that the vehicle is destined for. The average age of JDM cars is 8.7 years, ranking 9th in a survey of 30 of the top 50 countries by gross domestic product . According to the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile ,

660-668: A top speed of 300 km/h (186 mph), limits imposed by the Japan Automobile Manufacturers Association ( JAMA ) for safety. The horsepower limit was lifted in 2004 but the speed limit of 180 km/h (112 mph) remains. For many years Japan had severe restrictions on the maximum power and speed that motorcycles could have. All motorcycles for the Japanese domestic market were restricted to 180 km/h (112 mph). Power restrictions were as follows Japanese carmakers do not use

715-661: Is a badge engineered version of the Suzuki Wagon R-Wide, also introduced in summer 2000. This generation of Maruti Suzuki Wagon R in India was produced until 2010. The third generation Wagon R was launched in Japan in September 2003 for the Wagon R's tenth Anniversary, but now only as a 660 cc K6A -engined kei car - no oversized version (like the previous Wide and + versions) was developed. The third generation

R06A can come paired with Suzuki's mild hybrid system, with

825-468: Is about thrice as expensive as an ordinary used Japanese domestic truck units. Auctioneers in the Philippines also started importing trucks in the 1990s and it had been a staple for every small to medium business enterprise owner particularly in the logistics industry to support and to grow their respective businesses as well aside from being cheap than buying new ones, but also really proven that they are built to last. Another category for Japanese trucks are

880-569: Is becoming more dominating mostly coming from China and so forth. Most of these items depending on the condition. In the early 1990s, Ex-Japanese buses had been rising popular and been common in the developing cities across Asia such as Manila , Philippines, Jakarta , Indonesia & even Yangon , Myanmar. Like in the Philippines, direct importers near ports in Subic, Zambales & Cagayan Valley have started their auction business to import quality vehicles preferably from Japan. And then so, most of

935-461: Is being used for daily commercial use or can be for private use who often they don't have enough budget than buying a brand-new AUVs offered in the Philippine market during those times such as Toyota Kijang , Mitsubishi Adventure , Mitsubishi L300 van or even Isuzu Crosswind For a couple of decades, JDM specification model of vehicles often included a speed chime ( ja:速度警告音 ) which rings when

990-403: Is good for fuel economy and emissions, the exhaust is more restricted which lowers horsepower and power potential. The naturally-aspirated versions of the R06A feature variable valve timing (VVT) on both the intake and exhaust valves (the first Suzuki engine to do so), and VVT on the intake valves of the turbocharged models. For 2012, Suzuki added the naturally-aspirated version of the engine to

1045-425: Is in compliance with the Philippine traffic law called Republic Act No. 8506 entitled "An act banning the registration and operation of vehicles with right-hand steering wheel in any private or public street, road or highway, providing penalties therefor and for other purposes."

1210-548: Is the code JHMEEG6 on the European Civic VTi models and E-EG6 on the Japanese fifth generation Civic SiR trims. Correct identification of the chassis code using these markers would help prove the authenticity of the model. In the '90s the JDM power restrictions along with license restrictions that made it difficult to be licensed on larger motorcycles resulted in a number of models that were not offered anywhere else in

1265-508: The Alto 's range, with R06A-equipped Altos being called the Alto Eco. The Wagon R also received both forms of the R06A engine in 2012, to coincide with the release of the fifth-generation model . In 2013, the R06A was used for the new Suzuki Spacia and the updated Suzuki Carry , and in 2014, it was used for the new Suzuki Hustler . The Carry was the first vehicle to use the R06A engine in

1320-517: The Kei class regulations). The R used the same 660 cc F6A three-cylinder engines as did the Alto and other Suzuki kei cars. The car was developed with low cost manufacturing in mind, with 70 percent parts commonality (by value) with the related Alto. Originally with two doors on the left side and a single door on the right (driver's) side, it was introduced at the 1993 Tokyo Motor Show . In August 1996

1375-527: The Lancer Evolution and EK9 Type R models. These reinforcements are not present on base model sixth generation hatchbacks and Mitsubishi Lancers . Hence, replicas or conversions would be similar from a visual standpoint only, as they lack the same level of structural rigidity as the original counterpart. Suzuki R engine The Suzuki R engine is an inline-three engine that has been produced by Suzuki since 2011. Initially introduced in

1430-706: The third-generation MR Wagon , and intended as a replacement for the K6A engine , the R engine has since been used in various Suzuki's, such as the Alto , the Wagon R , and the Carry . For the release of the third-generation MR Wagon in 2011, Suzuki introduced a brand-new 658 cc (40.2 cu in) inline-three petrol engine . The new engine, known as the R06A, was available in naturally-aspirated and turbocharged forms, which produced 54 and 64 hp (55 and 65 PS; 40 and 48 kW) respectively. Introduced as

1485-708: The 2003 Honda Inspire featured the first application of Honda's Variable Cylinder Management . However, the 2003 Honda Accord V6, which was the same basic vehicle, primarily intended for the North American market, did not feature VCM, which had a poor reputation after Cadillac's attempt in the 1980s with the V8-6-4 engine. VCM was successfully introduced to the Accord V6 in its redesign for 2008. In 1988, JDM cars were limited by voluntary self-restraints among manufacturers to 280  PS (276 hp; 206 kW) and

1540-463: The Japanese domestic market have been growing in popularity since the late 1990s. Ex-Japan Imports are also very common in New Zealand where 59% of vehicles registered on New Zealand roads originated from overseas markets as opposed to 41% of which were delivered NZ-New. Of this, 94% originate from Japan. New Zealand imported an average of 134,834 JDM vehicles per year in the period 2015–2019,

1595-623: The New Zealand Ministry of Transport is currently investigating tougher restrictions on imported vehicles, most notably on the importation of the Toyota Corolla, Mazda 2 (Demio) and Suzuki Swift. In 2004, importing JDM cars became popular in Canada as highly sought after vehicles, such as the 1989 Nissan Skyline GT-R , became eligible to import under Canada's 15-year rule. In contrast, importing grey market vehicles into

1650-497: The Road Vehicle Law for speed indicator light is as following (modified and also translated): Patterns for speed indicator is as following: Enacted in 1967, this obligatory speed indicator light has proved a non-tariff barrier for European and American manufacturers. Imported heavy-duty trucks had to be modified to meet this certification requirement. Additionally, most people on Japanese roads never knew how to interpret

1705-585: The United States is much more difficult. To avoid regulatory problems, most private individuals wait until EPA restrictions no longer apply to the desired vehicle, which is done on a rolling 25-year cycle. Ex-Japan import rolling stocks in all kinds is no exception on this list, although it can be considered as JDM but in special case since this was also intended for Japanese market which were mostly acquired by leading private railway companies across Japan such as Japan Railways , even subways such as Tokyo Metro , Tokyu Corporation , Toei Subway and so forth which

This engine can also come in a mild hybrid configuration, but with the slightly less powerful W04C electric motor (2.6 PS and 40 N.m) and

1815-432: The age limit to be phasing out. Japanese domestic market trucks, or 'surplus trucks' after being phased-out in Japan, are extremely popular in the Philippines such as Isuzu Elf , Isuzu Forward , Isuzu Giga , Mitsubishi Canter , Mitsubishi Fuso Super Great & Hino Profia since they are popularly cheaper than buying a brand-new Japanese trucks which are locally distributed and even brand-new trucks from China which

1870-467: The clients who are mostly operating bus companies based in Manila, Philippines began their interest to grow their transport business thru buying Japan surplus buses from all cities in Japan which are definitely cheaper than buying brand-new ones which are mostly imported from other countries and some are locally assembled coach bodies but still at an expensive price. Used buses like in the Philippines also requires to convert from RHD to LHD conversion which

1925-531: The developing cities in Asia and even including Russia . Most of the Japanese domestic market trucks that have been exported are Isuzu , Mitsubishi Fuso , Hino and some are Nissan Diesel . These trucks are also proven much reliable and durable since domestic trucks in Japan has no exception for the 10 to 15 year phased out due to the compliance of Japan's existing traffic & environmental regulations and also to avoid any taxes once any domestic truck unit surpassed

1980-584: The fifth generation Wagon R models are marketed as Mazda Flair and Stingray models are rebadged as Mazda Flair Custom Style . Both the Flair and the Flair Custom Style were launched in October 2012. The sixth generation Wagon R range was launched in Japan on 1 February 2017. This iteration comes with an upgraded ISG (integrated starter generator) and increased capacity for the hybrid battery. Due to

2035-555: The improved battery and ISG, the Wagon R is capable of driving alone on its hybrid battery up to 10 seconds if the speed is kept under 13 km/h (8 mph). On 27 August 2021, a derivative model based on the sixth generation was created, called Smile . The facelifted regular model was unveiled on 2 August 2022, along with the introduction of Custom Z model. Series Japan Domestic Market The term " Japanese domestic market " (" JDM ") refers to Japan 's home market for vehicles and vehicle parts. Japanese owners contend with

2090-431: The majority of which were Mazda 3 (Axela), Suzuki Swift , Nissan Tiida , Toyota Corolla and Mazda 2 (Demio). Other models popular for importation in previous years include exotic vehicles ( Honda Torneo , Nissan Skyline , Nissan Laurel and Toyota Altezza ), and kei cars ( Suzuki Carry , Daihatsu Move , Subaru R2 ). Due to the popularity of used imports from Japan, and their relatively poor crash-test ratings,

2145-576: The more common, symmetrical five-door setup became available and soon supplanted the earlier body style. For model year 1994, it won the Automotive Researchers' and Journalists' Conference Car of the Year award in Japan. The Wagon R was an unexpected runaway success, with 900,000 examples of the first generation sold in the Japanese home market - even outselling perennial bestseller Toyota Corolla on occasion. The rebadged Autozam AZ Wagon

2200-626: The necessary parts, right down to the cutting of the floor pan, and create a Lancer Evolution copy. However, cars such as this would not be authentic JDM cars as they would possess a United States vehicle identification number . It is also to be noted that, even with such modifications, it is impossible to recreate the running performance of the original car, as there are many engineering aspects which cannot be replicated by means of "conversion" alone. A good example would be body strengthening methods using spot welding and extra reinforcement on strut mounting points, stress areas in joints, etc. as found in

2255-498: The new generation include larger rear doors, which incorporate quarter glass, eliminating the need for a D-pillar arrangement. Powertrain options include naturally aspirated and turbocharged 660 cc K6A engines with the latter developing an output of 64 PS (47 kW), mated to a 4-speed automatic, a 5-speed manual transmission or a CVT. As with many other Japanese market models, customers can choose between front-wheel and all-wheel-drive versions. The fifth generation Wagon R range

2310-502: The provisions of Chapter 3 of the Road Vehicle Law. The speed indicator light is only mandated for large trucks and is not necessary for small and medium-sized trucks and large buses, but installation on these vehicles are not prohibited. Speed indicator is installed in front of the cab, or up in the roof. Article 48 of the Ministerial Ordinance "Safety Standards for Road Vehicles" based on the provisions of Chapter 3 of

2365-490: The required parts such as the engine and gearbox from the JDM EK9 Type R - which is based on the same platform - in order to make an 'exact' copy. Other forms of "JDM Conversions" include converting a USDM model first generation Subaru Impreza and fitting JDM STi parts to make it seem as if it is a genuine WRX STi model. In Southeast Asia, it is common practice to convert a base model Mitsubishi Lancer and swap out

2420-403: The serial number of the vehicle. The model code designates the vehicle's model number and features. As an example, ST205-BLMVZ breaks down as "ST205", which means it is a third generation Toyota Celica GT-FOUR , and "BLMVZ" which designates a set of features incorporated in the vehicle. The Emissions Code refers to the vehicle's designated emission standard at the time, usually being placed before

2475-451: The smallest ones, or to be called as kei truck , they are also extremely popular in the Philippines once again to be called as " multicab " which are often reconditioned & converted to any public transportation vehicle like jeepney since they are lighter, more economical, more environmentally friendly than the conventional Philippine jeepneys which are mostly powered by used diesel engines from Japan. Truck engines from Japan also became

2530-489: The speed chime as standard factory fitment was the Honda City GA1/GA2 . Initial D anime features this speed chime prominently on Takumi Fujiwara's AE86. JDM specification model of trucks (over 5 ton loading capacity, 8 ton gross vehicle weight ) was mandated to have speed indicator installed from August 1967, according to Article 48 of the Ministerial Ordinance "Safety Standards for Road Vehicles" based on

2585-500: The speed indicator lights. Therefore, this requirement was abolished in 2001. Instead, truck manufacturers now have to install speed limiters which activate at around 90 km/h (56 mph). Some car enthusiasts like to build replicas of JDM vehicles from locally available cars. For example, enthusiasts in the USA will often take a US-market Honda Civic (sixth generation) , convert it from left-hand-drive to right-hand-drive and source

2640-524: The vehicle's model number, and with the five most commonly used designations being E, GF, GH, ABA, and CBA. These codes are only seen on JDM models and are not present on exported models of the same type. Examples would include E-EK9 or GF-EK9 from the first generation Civic Type R , E-BNR32 from the R32 Skyline GT-R , E-JZX100 from the eight generation Mark II . Another useful example to help differentiate between pure JDM models and export examples

2695-455: The world, with 250cc and 400cc miniature replicas of the bigger 750cc & 900cc bikes. At the same time, Japan had particularly tough laws regarding road licensing and sales regulations. Any motorcycle more powerful than 250cc had to take an extensively stringent test every two years. Combining these factors with a virtually non-existent second-hand market made it economic to export the nearly new bikes abroad where they were eagerly bought and

2750-644: Was also available with a 1.2-litre K12A engine. 1998 saw the introduction of the second-generation Wagon R in Japan. The larger (non-kei) Wagon R+ was replaced in 1999 - this was brought to Europe in 2000, with larger engines and was sold as the Suzuki Wagon R+ . This larger version is also produced in Esztergom in Hungary by Magyar Suzuki and in Gurgaon , India by Maruti Suzuki . The Opel Agila

2805-415: Was in demand for modernizing railway system in most developing countries such as Indonesia , Thailand , and Myanmar to acquire used trains from Japan rather than procuring brand-new rolling stocks, there are some cases that the management from each respective railway companies in Japan such as Japan Railways are decided to donate them to the oversea country, instead of scrapping them ahead in no time, which

2860-665: Was launched in Japan in September 2012 with an optional mild-hybrid system marketed as "ENE-CHARGE," and an energy-saving electric air conditioning system marketed as "ECO-COOL". With the R06A engine combined with an electric motor/generator and a lithium-ion battery, the ENE-CHARGE provides regenerative braking and power assist to the internal combustion engine and can also run certain electrical equipment, enabling mileage up to 28.8 km/L in Japan's JC08 driving cycle (67.8 mpg US, 3.5 L/100 km EU or 81.4 mpg UK). For Mazda variants,

2915-458: Was powered by a turbocharger, further enhancing the speed and acceleration. On average, the Stingray went from 0 km/h (0 mph) to 100 km/h (62 mph) in about 15 seconds. The fourth generation Wagon R was launched in Japan in September 2008 along with the sportier Stingray, AZ Wagon and AZ Wagon Custom variant (the latter two manufactured for Mazda ). Significant differences for

2970-699: Was presented in September 1994. Also using the F6A engine, this model was marketed through Mazda's Autozam network as part of an OEM deal. After April 1997, this was sold as the "Mazda AZ Wagon." A bigger first generation Wagon R, the Suzuki Wagon R+, was added in early 1997 and manufactured in Japan until the end of 2000 for the European market. The car featured a wider body and the K10A naturally aspirated engine with 996 cc and four-cylinders. The same Wagon R+

3025-470: Was then facelifted in September 2005 and replaced three years later. The Stingray , first seen in February 2007, is a sportier version of the third generation Suzuki Wagon R. The name is an homage to the "Sting Ray" Fronte introduced in 1970. In addition to a more aggressive front end treatment, the Stingray also received clear taillights. Alloy wheels and an aero kit were also standard. The 660 cc engine
