Does the Toyota Corolla meet China VI emission standards?

[StTanner]

Corolla complies with China VI emission standards. Here is some information about this car: 1. Interior. The Corolla maintains the same overall design as the overseas version, with a simple, stylish, and sporty tone. The lines of the dashboard and door panels are very smooth and crisp, creating a pleasing visual effect. 2. Configuration. The Corolla offers a new generation of intelligent connectivity system and intelligent safety system, equipped with popular features such as Apple CarPlay and Entune 3.0 audio system. Safety is also a major focus of this car. The Toyota Safety Sense safety system suite includes functions such as lane keeping, lane departure warning, automatic high beam, and pedestrian pre-collision system. 3. Power. The Corolla offers two power versions: 1.2T and 1.8L hybrid. The 1.2T engine is the same as the current Corolla, with a maximum power of 85kW (116PS) and a peak torque of 185N·m, matched with an S-CVT continuously variable transmission or a 6-speed manual transmission. The hybrid version is equipped with a 1.8L Atkinson cycle + electric motor + E-CVT transmission + nickel-metal hydride battery power system, with a combined maximum power of 90kW (122PS).

The Corolla definitely meets China 6 standards! All the latest generation models currently on sale are compliant with China 6b. When I went for a test drive at the dealership last time, the salesperson specifically emphasized this point. Both the 1.2T gasoline version and the hybrid version are equipped with particulate filters, and the exhaust treatment is quite thorough. However, it's important to note that you should check the vehicle conformity certificate to ensure it clearly states 'China VIb' for complete assurance. Major cities like Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen have long restricted the registration of China 5 vehicles, so there's no need to worry about emission standards when buying a new Corolla.

This car was upgraded to China 6 long ago. When my family bought the hybrid version last year, we specifically checked. The salesperson pointed to the particulate filter in the engine compartment, saying it's a key component designed to handle PM particles. Now, both the 2023 1.5L three-cylinder and 1.8L hybrid models come with OBD real-time monitoring—if the exhaust fails to meet standards, the fault light will directly illuminate. It's recommended to ask the salesperson to pull up the vehicle's environmental information list when purchasing. The 15th item under the emission standards column marked 'GB18352.6-2016' indicates China 6b.

There must be China 6 standards, I've seen the exhaust pipe of the new Corolla when repairing cars. The most obvious feature of China 6 vehicles is the particulate filter installed next to the exhaust pipe, slightly larger than a water bottle. Currently, all Corolla models including the 1.2T/1.5L/1.8 hybrid meet the China 6b standard, especially the hybrid models, where the electric motor-assisted start can reduce cold-start emissions by 20%. If buying second-hand, pay attention that only those produced after July 2019 meet the standard.

Last week, I helped a relative pick up a Corolla Cross, and the salesperson guaranteed that all models meet China VI standards. Currently, the 1.2T engines on the production line come with direct injection and dual-cycle technology, making exhaust treatment much more refined than older models. If you're concerned, here's a tip: check the VIN code on the lower left corner of the windshield. The 10th digit being 'L' means it was manufactured in 2020, and 'M' indicates 2021—these batches definitely comply with China VI. Be cautious with older stock vehicles.
