Does the Leaf have a China 6 version?

The Leaf does not have a China 6 version, as it is a pure electric new energy vehicle with zero emissions. The Leaf is a compact model with a body length, width, and height of 4445mm, 1770mm, and 1550mm respectively, a wheelbase of 2700mm, 5 doors, and a total vehicle weight of 1705kg. The Leaf is equipped with an EM57 electric motor, delivering a maximum power of 110kW with a maximum power speed range of 3283 to 9795rpm, and a maximum torque of 320 to 3283Nm. The Leaf features a classic three-spoke steering wheel with chrome accents in certain areas.

Last time I researched the Nissan Leaf, I found that as a fully electric model sold in China, it doesn't involve tailpipe emissions at all. The China VI standard mainly targets pollutant emission limits for fuel-powered vehicles, while the zero-emission nature of electric vehicles inherently makes them automatically compliant with all environmental regulations including similar tiers. This means there's no need to specifically launch a China VI version, as official certifications already cover the highest requirements. However, it's important to note that the China VI standard also includes carbon emission audits throughout the vehicle's lifecycle. Although electric vehicles are clean on the road, the battery production process does have a certain carbon footprint. Fortunately, China is promoting green supply chains. Overall, the Leaf is environmentally certified and ready to use upon purchase, with no worries about driving restrictions or licensing issues. The same applies to other electric vehicles like Tesla—just choose your car directly.

Speaking of this, I recall a friend who bought a Leaf last year and drove it in Beijing. He was initially worried about emission standards leading to traffic restrictions, but the EV license plate registration went smoothly because there's zero tailpipe emissions, passing the environmental check directly. In fact, China's National VI standards target thresholds for gasoline and diesel engines, such as sulfur content and nitrogen oxides. EVs, having no engine or exhaust emissions, automatically comply. However, there might be minor environmental impacts during battery manufacturing, which need to be balanced by recycling policies. Overall, all currently sold Leaf versions in China meet local regulatory requirements akin to the spirit of National VI, with sales providing certification details at purchase. EVs are also quiet, cost-effective, and free from fuel quality concerns, plus the expanding charging infrastructure makes daily commutes incredibly convenient.

Currently, the Leaf models launched in China all comply with national environmental standards such as the equivalent of China VI. Being purely electric with zero tailpipe emissions, they naturally meet requirements without needing special versions. The expansion of the electric vehicle market has shifted emission concerns toward lifecycle sustainability, while traditional vehicles require hardware upgrades to meet China VI standards. From a policy perspective, China's push for new energy vehicles to reduce pollution means models like the Leaf enjoy priority benefits such as purchase subsidies and green license plate advantages. However, regional certification details may vary slightly, so it's advisable to check local regulations to ensure smooth registration. In short, the logic for choosing electric vehicles has changed.
