Does the Avancier comply with the China 6 emission standard?

The Avancier partially complies with the China 6 emission standard. The China 6 standard is established to prevent environmental pollution caused by exhaust emissions from compression-ignition and gas-fueled spark-ignition engine vehicles, protect the ecological environment, and safeguard human health. The automotive emission standard regulates the content of harmful gases such as carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxides, particulate matter, and soot emitted from vehicle exhaust. The Avancier has dimensions of 4858mm in length, 1942mm in width, and 1670mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2820mm. The vehicle is powered by a 2.0T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum power of 200kW and a maximum torque of 370Nm, paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission featuring electronic push-button gear shifting.
As a Honda owner, I've paid special attention to the emissions of the Avancier. Since 2019, all Avancier models produced have been fully upgraded to meet the China 6 emission standards, and my friend's new model purchased last year fully complies with China 6b. This upgrade actually includes engine tuning optimization and enhanced exhaust treatment systems, such as the addition of a particulate filter. During daily driving, you can clearly feel cleaner emissions, and the annual exhaust test is easily passed. Now that most major cities have implemented China 6 restrictions, there's no need to worry about licensing issues when buying an Avancier, and the resale value is also higher. I recommend checking the environmental compliance list carefully when picking up the car to confirm the emission level, as there are still some differences between China 6a and China 6b.
With twenty years of car repair experience, I've handled many Honda Avanciers. The China 6 version indeed put effort into technology, with the engine ECU reprogrammed and the fuel system updated with new seals. The repair invoices for China 6 vehicles clearly mark the emission standard codes, and now most have achieved China 6b. Pay special attention to regularly cleaning the particulate filter, otherwise, the exhaust warning light will come on and cause trouble. Inspection station data shows that the Avancier China 6's emissions are indeed better, with nitrogen oxides reduced by nearly half, and the lifespan of the three-way catalytic converter is longer than the older models. When choosing a car, focus on the production date; those after July 2019 are guaranteed to be fine.
