Does the 2019 Sagitar have a China 6 version?

The 2019 Sagitar is available in both China 5 and China 6 versions. The China 6 standard refers to the National Sixth Stage Vehicle Emission Standard, which is based on international standards. Relevant details are as follows: 1. Currently, the China 6 standard is divided into two phases: China 6a and China 6b. After the full implementation of the China 6 standard, the requirements for emissions such as carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, and hydrocarbons will become more stringent. 2. In terms of appearance, the 2019 Sagitar features a design that leans towards Jaguar's style. The headlights and front grille are perfectly integrated, giving the front face a more impactful look. The body lines are clear and distinct, enhancing the overall sense of stability. In terms of configuration, the 2019 Sagitar comes standard with hill start assist, cruise control, front and rear parking radar, rearview camera, eco-driving mode, seat heating and ventilation functions, among other features.

I remember when I was looking at the 2019 Sagitar, I specifically researched this issue. Back then, the China VI emission standard had just been introduced, and it was indeed implemented differently across regions. Major cities like Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou had already mandated China VI compliance, while smaller cities like ours could still purchase China V vehicles. However, FAW-Volkswagen adapted to the policy changes, and most Sagitars produced later in the 2019 model year were upgraded to China VI standards. The engine remained unchanged, but the exhaust treatment was recalibrated, and a particulate filter was added. If you're buying a used one, it's best to check if the nameplate indicates China VIb compliance, as the first batch of 2019 models still adhered to China V standards. My friend bought a 280TSI produced in October 2019, which was China VI compliant, but his colleague's China V vehicle from the April batch now faces restrictions even entering Shanghai.

I've studied a lot of Volkswagen model data, and the 2019 Sagitar indeed had a China 6 version. In 2019, the China 6 standard was still in a transition period, and manufacturers adjusted production based on regional policies. At that time, in cities like Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen, which implemented China 6 ahead of schedule, 4S shops basically only sold China 6 Sagitars, while other regions might still have China 5 versions available. If you're looking to buy a used 2019 model now, make sure to check the environmental information sheet that comes with the car—it will clearly state whether it's China 5 or China 6. Some owners aren't even sure themselves, only to find out during registration that the emissions don't meet standards. China 6 vehicles are further divided into phase a and b, with most 2019 models being China 6b, which actually benefits their resale value quite a bit.

That year I happened to help a relative pick a car, and we inquired at several 4S stores. The 2019 Sagitar indeed had China 6 emission standard versions, but it depended on the production batch. Those manufactured after mid-year were mostly China 6 compliant, with the engine model number ending with the letter DJS indicating the China 6 version. However, some remaining stock might still be China 5, especially for lower trim levels. If you're buying used now, the most reliable method is to check the VIN - the first three digits LFV correspond to Volkswagen, the tenth digit being K indicates 2019 production, combined with the manufacturing date for verification. China 6 compliant used cars can command a few thousand yuan higher price and are easier to resell in the future.
