Does the Highlander meet the China VI emission standard?
2 Answers
The Highlander meets the China VI emission standard. The China VI standard reduces carbon monoxide emissions from gasoline vehicles by 50%, total hydrocarbon and non-methane hydrocarbon emission limits by 50%, and nitrogen oxide emission limits by 42%. In terms of body dimensions, the Highlander measures 4890mm in length, 1925mm in width, and 1715mm in height. For the suspension, the Highlander features a MacPherson strut independent front suspension and an E-type multi-link independent rear suspension. Under the hood, this vehicle is equipped with a 2.0-liter inline 4-cylinder turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 220ps, a maximum power of 165kw, and a maximum torque of 350nm, paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission.
I just test drove the new Highlander at the 4S store a few days ago, and the salesperson specifically emphasized that all vehicles currently sold meet China VI emission standards. After the major facelift in 2019, the entire lineup was upgraded to China VI standards, especially the hybrid version with its THS-II system, which is particularly fuel-efficient and eco-friendly. If you check the specifications, you'll see the exhaust treatment system uses an advanced GPF particulate filter that even controls cold-start emissions effectively. My friend had no issues registering the 2.0T gasoline version he bought last year, and in the used car market now, all Highlanders from 2019 onwards carry the China VI label.
