Does the Bin Yue comply with China VI emission standards?
3 Answers
The Bin Yue does not comply with China VI emission standards; it is a China V emission standard vehicle. The Bin Yue is a compact SUV under Geely Auto, equipped with a 1.4T turbocharged engine that delivers a maximum torque of 235 N·m. It features ABS anti-lock braking system, brake assist, traction control, electronic brakeforce distribution, tire pressure monitoring, front seatbelt reminder, and cruise control. The Bin Yue comes with 215/60R17 tires, MacPherson strut front suspension, and torsion beam rear suspension. The vehicle is paired with a 6-speed manual transmission, has a fuel tank capacity of 45L, and adopts a front-engine, front-wheel-drive layout.
As a frequent car enthusiast, I must say the Bin Yue has a China 6 version. Geely has been updating its models in recent years, with this SUV being upgraded to the China 6 standard since around 2019. Especially for models after 2020, most meet the requirements. I've studied market data myself—China 6 aims to reduce exhaust emissions, making it more eco-friendly, more fuel-efficient, and quieter than older versions. The Bin Yue's powertrain has been improved, such as the 1.5T engine being fitted with new fuel injectors, making it easily pass environmental tests. When purchasing, it's best to check the vehicle compliance certificate, which clearly states whether it meets China 6a or 6b, or simply ask the 4S store salesperson. This car offers great value for money—my colleague bought one last year, and it runs smoothly both in the city and on highways, with excellent emission control, unlike some older cars that often emit black smoke. If you care about air quality and fuel consumption, China 6 is definitely a plus. Many domestic models like the Haval H6 and Changan CS55 are also following this path. In short, there's no need to worry about this with the latest Bin Yue—just confirm the manufacturing year.
I own a 2021 top-trim Bin Yue at home. When I bought it, I specifically checked whether it met the China VI emission standard, and it did. The salesperson even noted the emission standard in the contract. As an owner, I think this is quite important because China VI-compliant cars run cleaner, don’t trigger dashboard warnings, and pass annual inspections more easily. The Bin Yue’s well-designed small-displacement engine reduces pollution—there’s no smoky smell when driving in the city, and the fuel tank lasts longer. I advise car buyers to pay attention to this, especially after the China VI standard took effect, as older cars might face traffic restrictions or even highway bans under new policies, which would be a hassle. Also, China VI cars have higher resale value in the used car market due to their better environmental credentials and smoother ownership transfers. I learned this firsthand when selling my old car—buyers hardly even asked about non-compliant models. In short, the Bin Yue has China VI variants. Find a reliable dealer for a test drive and make sure to get the environmental compliance certificate as proof to avoid future headaches.
