Does the Honda Jade have a China 6 compliant model?
2 Answers
Honda Jade does not have a China 6 compliant model. Below is relevant knowledge about the China 6 emission standard: Definition of China 6 Emission Standard: The China 6 Emission Standard, also known as the National Sixth Stage Emission Standard for Motor Vehicles, is an upgrade from the China 5 standard. It requires a reduction of over 50% in carbon monoxide emissions and total hydrocarbons compared to the previous standard. Phases of China 6 Emission Standard: The China 6 standard is divided into two phases: 6A and 6B. Compared to China 6A, China 6B imposes stricter requirements on the emissions of carbon monoxide, non-methane hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxides, and PM (particulate matter).
I specifically checked the JADE's environmental certification catalog, and it did indeed launch a China 6 version in 2019. To comply with the new emission standards, Dongfeng Honda upgraded the exhaust treatment systems for both 1.8L and 1.5T models produced after July that year. However, this model had a relatively short lifespan and was completely discontinued by 2020. If you're looking for a used China 6-compliant JADE now, you'll need to focus on VIN numbers from late 2019 to early 2020, especially in regions like Guangdong and Shanghai that implemented China 6 standards earlier. Interestingly, although the power parameters remained unchanged in the China 6 version, the engine control program was slightly adjusted, which actually reduced low-speed jerking sensations during driving.
