Haval M6 meets China 6 emission standards. Models that comply with China 6 standards are sold in regions where China 6 has been implemented, while models meeting China 5 standards are sold in regions where China 6 has not yet been implemented. As the first compact model in the Haval M series, the Haval M6 is positioned as a family-oriented compact SUV. The Haval M6 is equipped with a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine across the entire lineup. The engine code is GW4G15F, with a maximum power of 110kW and a maximum torque of 210Nm. This engine features multi-point electronic fuel injection technology and uses an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block. It is paired with either a 6-speed manual transmission or a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. The front suspension of the Haval M6 uses a MacPherson independent suspension, while the rear suspension employs a double-wishbone independent suspension.

















I'm an owner who bought a Haval M6 last year and paid special attention to the emission standards at that time. The Haval M6 certainly has a China 6 version, and the 2020 model was fully upgraded to China 6. The automatic elite model I bought meets the China 6b emission standard, and it has passed the annual inspection smoothly after two years of driving. When a used car, you need to check the nameplate or environmental protection list; those manufactured after July 2019 are basically China 6. The license plate policies vary in different cities. For example, in our area, China 5 vehicles can no longer be registered, so choosing a China 6 model holds its value better. The 1.5T engine of this car has improved the emission system, and the fuel consumption is even slightly lower than the older models. I suggest you go directly to the 4S store for a test drive; the price of new cars now is even more favorable than when I bought mine.

I've been repairing cars for over a decade and have handled at least a hundred Haval M6s. The China VI version does exist, mainly entering mass production in the second half of 2019. The engine model GW4G15F is the one that meets China VI standards, with an added particulate filter for exhaust treatment. To identify it, simply check the emissions section on the vehicle conformity certificate - China VI will be marked as GB18352.6-2016. Currently, the price difference between China V and China VI models in the market is about three to five thousand yuan, so I recommend prioritizing China VI models. During maintenance, be sure to use low-ash engine oil to avoid clogging the exhaust system. Just last week, I helped a client inspect a 2021 used M6 with complete China VI documentation - no issues found.

Recently, I accompanied a friend to choose a car and took a closer look at the Haval M6. The National VI version of this car is quite common, with the entire lineup meeting the latest emission standards. At the 4S store, I saw three powertrain configurations, with both 1.5T manual and automatic transmissions available in National VI options. The salesperson mentioned that all current inventory consists of cars produced after 2022, so there are no new National V vehicles available. Remember to check the environmental information in the vehicle's accompanying documents—the third item on the list clearly states National VI b. My friend ultimately chose the Value Edition, which cost just over 80,000 yuan on the road, making it a much better deal than joint-venture cars in the same price range. It's perfectly adequate for city commuting, and the rear seats offer ample space for a child safety seat.

As an environmental enthusiast, I pay special attention to vehicle emissions. I've reviewed the data of the Haval M6's China VI models, which show a reduction of over 40% in nitrogen oxide emissions compared to China V standards. Vehicles produced after 2020 come equipped with OBD remote monitoring, complying with the strictest China VI-b standards. When purchasing a car, always ask the salesperson to present the vehicle's environmental compliance certificate, which documents the registered emission level. For users in northern regions, I recommend opting for versions with engine heating for more stable cold-start emissions in winter. Maintain gear shifts at around 2,000 RPM during daily driving to save fuel and reduce carbon buildup. This car is quite suitable for family use, with enough rear seat space to comfortably accommodate three adults.

There are over 300 owners in the Haval M6 group, mostly driving the China VI emission standard versions. We've compared parameters across different model years - the China VI models mainly upgraded the EGR exhaust and fuel evaporation systems. The most noticeable change is the added anti-permeation device at the fuel filler neck, eliminating gasoline odors. Northern owners report reduced white smoke during cold winter starts, likely due to new ECU calibrations. For used cars, we recommend selecting post-2020 models under 50,000 km when the catalytic converter remains efficient. Consider upgrading to quiet tires as the factory ones are somewhat noisy. Fuel consumption averages around 8L/100km in suburban areas and a very manageable 6.5L/100km on highways.
