Does the Golf meet China 6 emission standards?
2 Answers
Golf meets China 6 emission standards. Emission standards refer to regulations on the content of harmful gases such as carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxides, particulate matter, and soot emitted from vehicle exhaust. The Golf has a body size of 4296mm in length, 1788mm in width, and 1471mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2636mm, a fuel tank capacity of 51 liters, and a trunk capacity of 380 liters. The Golf is equipped with a 1.2T engine, with a maximum power of 85 kilowatts at 5000 rpm, a maximum torque of 200 Nm, and is paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
I'm currently driving a China 6 Golf, and the 4S store salesperson clearly stated that all currently sold models comply with the China 6 emission standards. When I bought the car last year, I specifically checked the environmental protection catalog, and all models from the 1.2T to the 2.0T GTI come equipped with a particulate filter, and the emission status can be directly viewed on the dashboard. However, you need to be especially careful when buying a used Golf, as some older models before July 2019 are still China 5 compliant, which might affect registration in cities with license plate restrictions. I recommend asking the dealer for the environmental protection vehicle list, where the third item clearly marked with GB18352.6-2016 indicates a genuine China 6 vehicle. Additionally, China 6 vehicles have higher fuel requirements, so it's advisable to consistently use 95-octane fuel from the two major oil companies to avoid triggering the engine fault light.
