Does the BRZ comply with China VI emission standards?
2 Answers
The Subaru BRZ does not comply with China VI emission standards; this model meets China V standards. Below are specific details about China V and China VI: Differences in testing procedures: The mass requirements for test vehicles and road load settings directly affect fuel consumption and emission performance, with China VI standards being more stringent. Differences in emission standards: For China V standard gasoline vehicles, the carbon monoxide emission limit is 1000 mg/km; for China VI standard gasoline vehicles, it is 700 mg/km. China VI emission standards are over 30% stricter than China V. Excluding the influence of driving conditions and testing, gasoline vehicles see a 50% reduction in carbon monoxide emissions, a 50% decrease in total hydrocarbons and non-methane hydrocarbon emissions, and a 42% reduction in nitrogen oxide emissions.
I drive a BRZ sports car, which I bought just two years ago. It's an absolute blast on the highway! It indeed meets the China 6 emission standards, especially the newly released 2022 model, which has been tested for the China 6B level. I chose it because modern sports cars are keeping up with the environmental trend, ensuring no issues during annual inspections. In daily driving, the power is still impressive—it doesn't lose its edge due to emission restrictions. The fuel consumption averages around 12L per 100 km, which isn't too high. It's not easy for sports cars to control emissions, such as having more refined engine designs that avoid the pollution problems of older models. When I take it to the 4S shop for maintenance, the mechanics always praise its clean system with little carbon buildup. I think this is a great example, proving that car enthusiasts can balance fun and environmental responsibility. If you're considering buying a sports car, why not test drive it at a dealership to personally experience the changes under emission standards?
