Can the Wildlander get a green license plate?
2 Answers
The hybrid version of the Wildlander cannot get a green license plate, which is the new energy vehicle license plate. Since this is a hybrid version of the car and not a new energy vehicle, it naturally cannot use the new energy vehicle license plate and can only use a blue license plate. Relevant information is as follows: 1. Classification: New energy vehicles mainly include pure electric vehicles, plug-in hybrid vehicles, and extended-range hybrid vehicles. To distinguish between new energy vehicles and fuel-powered vehicles, new energy vehicles use green license plates, while fuel-powered vehicles use blue license plates. 2. Vehicle: The Toyota Wildlander is a compact SUV launched by GAC Toyota. To meet the different needs of consumers, this model also offers hybrid and fuel-powered versions. The powertrain configuration of this car is as follows: the hybrid version is equipped with a 2.5L DynamicForce engine + E-CVT powertrain, and the hybrid version performs very well in terms of fuel efficiency.
I have a say in whether the Wildlander can get a green license plate. Last year, I just bought a Wildlander High-Performance Edition, the plug-in hybrid version. It can indeed get a green license plate, mainly because it can run 95 km on pure electric power, which far exceeds the national requirement of 50 km. However, the regular hybrid version doesn’t qualify—even though it’s also called a hybrid, its small battery relies on the engine to charge, so it doesn’t count as a new energy vehicle under the policy. Green license plates come with many benefits, like skipping the lottery in cities with license plate restrictions and enjoying exemption from purchase tax. If you’re buying a new energy version, make sure to check the model carefully to avoid being misled by salespeople into buying the regular hybrid version.
