New trend, new term? CDM tuning from China!

JDM and USDM are terms from the tuning area, which in principle refer to country-specific equipment variants for vehicles. JDM describes the Japanese Domestic Marketwhile USDM for the United States Domestic Market stands. There are country-specific equipment for vehicles in the USA and also in Japan. But there is also a CDM in this context Chinese Domestic Market? The term would actually be appropriate for special vehicles such as the BMW 3 Series and 5 Series Limo as an iL long version. These and other questions are answered below.

JDM, CDM, USDM - what does that mean?

typical JDM tuning on a Honda S2000

JDM and USDM refer to vehicle equipment that is country specific for Japan (JDM) and the United States (USDM). The terms have long since developed into styles in the tuning area. This means that in vehicle tuning JDM and USDM stand for a certain look and modification that comes from the country of origin. This applies to rims, seat manufacturers and many other areas. While JDM and USDM are known as terms in the tuning area, the term CDM is largely unknown and actually not really invented in this sense. One Chinese Domestic Market Finding in the tuning area is rather difficult. Nevertheless, CDM tuning was done on this, for example Mazda CX-4 already implemented in our opinion. The vehicle has built components from Chinese manufacture, it simply tries to copy a Maserati and looks unsuccessful. Criteria that, at least in the last few years, interpret strongly Chinese tuning. However, we don't want to generalize anything here and tastes are known to be different! Vehicles like this Mazda 6 sedan or the Lynk & Co. 02 show with widebody kit that China is on the right track.

Country-specific vehicle tuning - limited selection of parts

New trend, new term? CDM tuning from China!

The country-specific tuning of the vehicle is a question of style and actually means that only parts typical of the country may be used. The selection of automotive parts is therefore restricted. CDM is also a restricted tuning style which is used and shown by tuners from China on various cars. The above linked and rather inconspicuous Mazda should be given some glamor. He was therefore given a body kit with fender flares. Typical China is the idea to design the grille in the Maserati style. The conversions actually read like tuning in JDM style, but it can still be seen as CDM style. The tuning was from and for China created. Of course, you could apply that to all countries now. BDM = Belgium Domestic Market, CZDM = Czech Domestic Market, RDM = Russian Domestic Market etc. But of course that's rubbish!

CDM style - does it exist?

The CDM style is officially not yet known in the tuning area. Nevertheless, the tuned Mazda CX-4 can be described as a CDM-style vehicle because the car was specially built for China. In contrast to conventional Mazda CX-4 models, which are rather inconspicuous, the speedster built for China is not inconspicuous and independent. The vehicle is something special. The conversions made the Mazda JDM style strictly the CDM style.

CDM style - conclusion

unfortunately that is also CDM tuning

Typical CDM-style tuning is largely unknown. A Mazda CX-4 was rebuilt for the Chinese market and tuned so conspicuously that it can no longer be considered a JDM style, but a CDM style. The CDM-style vehicles can also look striking. We hope that the info report on the topic / term CDM tuning from the field of autotuning.
