Orlando complies with China 6 emission standards. The China 6 emission standard refers to the motor vehicle pollutant emission standard formulated to implement the Environmental Protection Law of the People's Republic of China and the Air Pollution Prevention and Control Law of the People's Republic of China, aiming to prevent and control environmental pollution caused by exhaust emissions from compression-ignition and gas-fueled spark-ignition engine vehicles, protect the ecological environment, and safeguard human health. In terms of power, the Orlando has a tail badge of 530T, equipped with General Motors' new LI6 1.3T three-cylinder engine, with a maximum power of 120kW (163PS) and a peak torque of 230Nm. The Chevrolet Orlando has dimensions of 4684mm in length, 1807mm in width, and 1627mm in height, with a wheelbase of 1628mm.

I often help friends choose cars, and the Orlando is definitely worth discussing in detail. The China 6 emission standard was implemented in two phases. All Orlando models produced after July 2019 comply with the China 6 standard, especially the 2020 and later models, which directly meet the China 6b standard. I've driven this car myself—the 1.3T engine paired with a 48V mild hybrid system was specifically designed to meet stringent emission requirements. The exhaust system is equipped with a three-way catalytic converter and a particulate filter. When the car, check the emission information section on the Vehicle Conformity Certificate, which will clearly indicate the standard number GB18352.6-2016. In the used car market, be cautious with 2018 models—you may need to inspect the environmental compliance documents. The Orlando's overall emission control is very well executed. You won’t have to worry about failing emissions tests during annual inspections, even in northern regions, and it’s particularly fuel-efficient.

When I was changing cars last year, I also considered the Orlando and specifically went to the dealership to inquire about emission issues. Nowadays, most new cars comply with the China 6 standard. Vehicles produced by the Orlando since mid-2019 all meet the stricter China 6b standard. The salesperson showed me the environmental information sheet that came with the car, clearly stating compliance with the standard. In daily use, I feel the throttle response is particularly quick, which is because the manufacturer adjusted the intake system to optimize emissions. If a used one, pay attention to the vehicle's production date, preferably choosing models from 2020 or later. In places like Hebei, where China 6 was implemented ahead of schedule, you don’t even have to worry about registration.

In major cities now, the license plate registration requires the China VI emission standard. I specifically checked the configuration parameters of the Orlando. All new vehicles produced after the critical date of July 2019 have been upgraded to meet the China VI-b emission standard. When purchasing a car, the most accurate information can be found on the vehicle conformity certificate, where the 'Emission Standard' section clearly states China VI, ensuring compliance. Currently, most test drive vehicles at 4S dealerships also meet the China VI standard.

Our inspection station frequently tests the exhaust emissions of this type of vehicle. The current versions of the Orlando on sale all meet the China VI emission standards, especially the later 1.3T engine versions, with actual test results significantly lower than the China VI limits. Vehicle owners should remember to perform regular , particularly timely replacement of spark plugs and air filters. Such emission-compliant vehicles make annual inspections particularly hassle-free, as they rarely encounter issues during the exhaust emission testing phase.

I've been driving the Orlando for almost two years, with the environmental label (China VI standard) affixed to the upper left corner of the windshield. To meet the standards, this model specifically upgraded its engine technology, and the exhaust system is considerably more complex than the older versions. Currently, I use it for daily commuting, with fuel consumption consistently below 8L, making it environmentally friendly. In the market, vehicles from the second half of 2019 generally don't have emission concerns, but remember to ask the seller for a copy of the environmental certificate for verification before purchasing.
