Does the 2019 Sagitar comply with China VI emission standards?
2 Answers
The 2019 Sagitar is available in both China V and China VI versions. The China VI emission standard refers to the National Sixth Stage Vehicle Emission Standard, which is based on international standards. Currently, China has divided the China VI standard into two phases: China VI a and China VI b. After the full implementation of the China VI standard, the requirements for pollutants such as carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, and hydrocarbons will become more stringent. In terms of exterior design, the 2019 Sagitar features a styling that leans towards Jaguar's design language. The headlights and front grille are seamlessly integrated, giving the front fascia a more impactful appearance. The body lines are sharp and well-defined, enhancing the overall sense of stability. In terms of features, the 2019 Sagitar comes standard with hill start assist, cruise control, front and rear parking sensors, rearview camera, eco driving mode, and heated and ventilated seats.
Whether the 2019 Sagitar meets China VI emission standards depends on the specific situation. I often discuss cars with friends and found that the China VI standard was implemented in July 2019, but automakers had already adjusted their models in advance. As a Volkswagen flagship, many Sagitars produced in the second half of 2019 were upgraded to China VI, especially high-end versions and models sold in major cities like Beijing and Shanghai. When buying a car, don't just rely on the model year—check the Vehicle Conformity Certificate or the nameplate label on the door frame, which will indicate the China VI mark. Sagitars from early 2019 might still be China V, which can be confusing. When helping others inspect used cars, I've encountered cases where China V cars were falsely advertised as China VI, causing issues during ownership transfer. Emission standards significantly impact policies like traffic restrictions and future inspection difficulties. Always verify the specific vehicle's status—don't guess and risk complications.
