Does the Tiguan L meet China VI emission standards?
2 Answers
The Tiguan L complies with China VI emission standards. Below is some information about the Tiguan L: The Tiguan L is an SUV launched by SAIC Volkswagen in 2017, based on the MQB platform. Compared to the previous generation Tiguan, it features increased body dimensions and wheelbase, placing it in the midsize SUV category. The Chinese version of the Tiguan L is only available as a five-seater, while the European version, named Tiguan Allspace, is a seven-seater SUV. After the launch of the Tiguan L, the previous generation Tiguan continued to be sold under the name Tiguan Silk Road. The Tiguan L's front grille incorporates a rectangular wave-like pattern, and the front end adopts a popular design that connects the grille with the headlight assembly to create a wider appearance. The body features straight waistlines that extend from the front to the rear, giving the vehicle a sleek and elongated look. The rear design is solid and conveys a sense of security. The Tiguan L's body dimensions are 4712mm in length, 1839mm in width, and 1673mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2791mm.
Last year, I switched to a Tiguan L, specifically opting for a China 6-compliant model. The salesperson mentioned that since 2019, most new versions support the China 6 standard, and my 2021 Tiguan L is certified as China 6b. After driving it for over a year now, commuting in the city has been smooth—it meets emission standards and is eco-friendly, unlike older cars with heavy exhaust pollution. Policy-wise, China 6 vehicles have advantages in cities with license plate restrictions, such as faster annual inspection approvals and no worries about being caught in traffic restrictions. It’s advisable to check the manufacturing year and environmental label before purchasing, as dealerships can usually provide certification details for specific models. The new car market has largely adopted China 6 standards, so choosing the Tiguan L was the right decision for peace of mind.
