Does the Kia K5 have a China 6 version?
3 Answers
Kia K5 has both China 5 and China 6 versions. China 5 and China 6 refer to the national automobile exhaust emission standards. The higher the number, the more environmentally friendly the vehicle's exhaust emissions are, and the later the release date, the stricter the energy-saving and emission reduction requirements for the vehicle. The Kia K5 is a luxury sports coupe under Dongfeng Yueda Kia, with a body length, width, and height of 4845mm, 1835mm, and 1455mm respectively, and a wheelbase of 2795mm. The front face of the Kia K5 inherits the consistent style of the "DESIGN" family, featuring an exaggerated tiger-inspired grille that highlights its bold style, complementing the overall sporty design.
As an experienced driver who has driven many cars, I can confidently say that the Kia K5 does indeed have a China VI version. The Kia K5 KaiKu, launched in 2020, meets the China VI emission standards. It is equipped with a new generation of engines, such as the 1.6T or 2.0L powertrains, both of which have passed the China VI-b certification. China VI is the sixth-stage emission requirement in China, much stricter than the previous China V, reducing harmful exhaust emissions and making it more environmentally friendly for city driving. I test-drove this car at a 4S dealership, and it drove smoothly with good fuel efficiency and easy maintenance. Nowadays, many places require China VI compliance for new or used car registration, so choosing the K5 is a smart move. Maintenance is straightforward, parts are readily available, and it offers great value for money. Remember to check the vehicle conformity certificate or registration document for the emission label when purchasing to avoid any issues.
I'm still young, just graduated not long ago, and currently saving up to buy a car. While researching the Kia K5, I discovered it actually has a China VI version. The K5 Kai series is specifically designed for China VI standards, with all models launched in the Chinese market after 2020 meeting this requirement. China VI compliant cars are more popular in cities as they aren't subject to driving restrictions, making them both eco-friendly and cost-effective. The design is stylish enough, with a streamlined body that appeals to young people, and the price isn't too high either – the entry-level version can be had for just over 100,000 yuan. I recommend checking the configuration list on the official website or heading straight to a dealership for a test drive, where the sales staff will explain the emission details in depth. China VI is the major trend now, so choosing one won't be a mistake, and it'll hold its value better when you decide to sell it in a few years.
