What does LX, EX, DX stand for? (after a car's model)?

Question

I know that SE is for Special Edition but, how about these?

Answer 1

I see some right answers on here. The designations DO stand for trim variations and I'll put down all I know.


DX = "D"elu"X"e - Minor equipment (radio, AC)
LX = "L"u"X"ury - Standard or Moderate equipment (CD, Power)
EX = "EX"ecutive - Suitable for Blue collar execs/management (Fully appointed, all power, leather,etc)
Si = "S"port "I"njection (or Induction) so labeled by Honda cause Si models have the strongest VTEC engines available.
SE = "S"pecial "E"dition - Trims offered with options not available on other models (upgraded rims, sound, nav, etc)
SE = "S"port "E"dition - Versions with more sporty equipment. (bigger engine, larger diameter wheels, sport suspension, etc)
SE-R = "S"port "E"dition "R"acing - Higher performance models with bigger engines, better tranny, sport suspension, and may lack luxuries)
SEL = "S"pecial "E"dition "L"uxury - Addition equipment on top of the SE additions.
LE = "L"uxury "E"dition - Models with upgrades over standard packages
S = "S"port - sports enhanced models.
T = "T"urbo - Cars with factory turbochargers
GT = "G"rand "T"ouring - Very sporty cars named and modeled after touring car races.
SS = "S"uper "S"port - Cars that are purely about horsepower and performance.
HO = "H"igh "O"utput, cars that have higher performance engines than GT models. (Often combined GT-H.O.)

Many of the others are just names like Acura's line or the Scion lines. Numbers usually refer to vehicle versions like EVO V, EVO VI, etc.

Answer 2

LX for Luxury
EX for Executive
DX for Deluxe

Answer 3

Trims
Coupe: Trims available in the coupe body style were the DX, EX, HX and Si (only 1999 and 2000) (designated as the EJ6/8/7 and EM1, respectively). Hatchback: Trims available in the hatchback body style were the CX and the DX (EJ6). Sedan: Trims available in the sedan body style were the DX, LX (EJ6) and EX (EJ8).



The CX was the lightest and did not have features such as a sunroof, which made it even lighter. In Canada, the EX was called the Si and the Si was called the SiR.


Engines
All CX, DX and LX models used the D16Y7. The HX had the D16Y5 and the EX had the D16Y8. The Si used the B16A2.

as you can see they dont really stand for anything with honda..just a classification.

Answer 4

I don't know what they exactly stand for per se, but in Hondas, EX is the best, LX is middle of the road and DX is stripped model

Answer 5

Honda Civic Model Car

Answer 6

not sure exactly what it stands for but dx is below the lx and the lx is below the ex. generally the ex has all power a wing (some don't have the wing) and a lot of them have either a sunroof or moon roof. it has to do with the package deal you're getting

Answer 7

DX = basic
LX = moderatly equipped
EX = loaded

Si / SiR = hot
Type R = purpose-built





DX - Basic. Hand Rolled windows, no a/c, no tach, no clock, black bumpers (older)
LX - Power. Same engine, Pwr door locks/windows/mirrors, tach, clock, bumpers are now painted same color as car, a/c is now an option
EX - Sunroof. Bigger engine (vtec beginning in 92 or 94), a/c is standard, same everything as LX.
SI - FAST. Everything EX has but bigger engine, nicer rims, mirrors are now painted same color as car

Answer 8

They are basically trim lines. DX has the very basic standard equipment. LX has some of the convenience features that are added. EX has everything on it, top of the line.

Answer 9

Usually they stand for a vehicles trim level. In example;
The 2007 Ford Edge has three trim levels:
Edge SE (base)
Edge SEL (base + options)
Edge SEL PLUS (base + SEL options + premium options)

You can get certains options on certain trim levels and the highest trim level you are able to get the most options. Some options include DVD based Nav systems, satellite radio, leather seats and/ or bluetooth connectivity depending on car manufacturer. All trim levels will vary between car types and manufacturers as well. Also the names or acronyms will vary at the end of a car name.

Answer 10

LX for Luxury/Moderate,
EX for Executive (extra)/Loaded...
DX for Deluxe/Basic,.. have to do everything manually...

Answer 11

They might mean nothing other than to signify differences between various levels of a car. If you go on the manufacturers website, you will see that the cars are likely designed in various configurations of standard trim. For example: If you order a DX, that might come standard with automatic transmission, leather power seat, and moon roof. You can also get those things on an EX, but would have to add them as an option.
