Does the 2021 Magotan come with a particulate filter?

The 2021 Magotan only equips the 1.4T models with particulate filters, while all 330 and 380 models do not come with particulate filters. The function of the particulate filter is to reduce soot produced by diesel engines by over 90%. The captured particulate emissions are subsequently burned off during vehicle operation. Methods to check whether a vehicle is equipped with a particulate filter include reviewing the and to see if the particulate filter function is mentioned. Additionally, you can carefully examine the fault codes in the manual to check for particulate filter warning light indicators. Inspect the label on the oil filler cap - if it clearly specifies 0W-20 grade oil, it indicates the presence of a particulate filter. You can also check whether there is a cylindrical section behind the three-way catalytic converter on the exhaust pipe, as this would be the particulate filter if present.
The 2021 Magotan in the domestic market is equipped with a particulate filter, mainly to meet the China VI emission standards. I've been using this car for a few months, and every time I start it, the engine light comes on normally, and the system automatically handles the GPF regeneration to prevent particulate buildup. Driving at high speeds can effectively clean it. It's commonly found in the gasoline version of the EA888 engine. Usually, avoid frequent short trips and idling, as it can easily lead to clogging and reduced power. During maintenance at the 4S shop, they check the filter's condition, and cleaning or replacement isn't expensive. Overall, the design is very considerate and quite helpful for environmental protection.
