The Highlander does have China VI compliant models. Here are the details about the Highlander: 1. In terms of appearance, it offers three different front grille designs based on trim levels. The Elite and Luxury trims feature a matte front grille, the top-tier Platinum trim comes with a chrome front grille, while the newly added second-top-tier Premium trim adopts a rotating chrome front grille. Such diverse exterior styling is rare among vehicles in the same class. 2. The overall silhouette has become more minimalist. Without too many flashy design elements, the styling gives a very enduring aesthetic appeal. This is exactly the kind of mass-appealing design effect Highlander aims for. 3. The mid-cycle facelift Highlander didn't undergo radical interior changes. The cabin layout isn't particularly exquisite but excels in practicality. 4. Regarding features, the Highlander has added the TSS (Toyota Safety Sense) package, which includes PCS (Pre-Collision System), LDA (Lane Departure Alert), AHB (Automatic High Beam), and DRCC (Dynamic Radar Cruise Control).

I have some knowledge about cars and previously researched the Toyota Highlander, which does have a China VI version. Since the implementation of the China VI emission standards domestically, Toyota has updated the Highlander models to meet the requirements, including both gasoline-powered and hybrid versions. These vehicles have cleaner emissions, significantly reducing tailpipe pollution, which is beneficial for environmental protection. I test-drove the new model at a 4S dealership, where the salesperson emphasized its compliance with China VI standards. When purchasing, don’t forget to check the emission label on the vehicle’s compliance certificate to avoid buying older inventory models. As a family SUV, the Highlander offers spacious and practical interiors, and opting for the China VI version can help bypass certain city driving restrictions. In daily driving, it provides ample power with relatively reasonable fuel consumption. In short, most models currently on the market are China VI-compliant, so doing some homework before buying and verifying the details is sufficient.

Having driven the Highlander for several years, I specifically chose the China VI version when selecting the car, and the Toyota Highlander indeed offers this option. As an owner, I've noticed in daily use that the China VI version is more fuel-efficient, with reduced emissions due to the higher standard, making driving more reassuring. When purchasing the car at the dealership, the sales staff proactively mentioned that the newer models are all China VI compliant, especially the hybrid versions. I recommend checking the model year; those from 2020 onwards are generally compliant. Don’t forget to consider your usage needs—the Highlander offers strong comfort and ample space, making it ideal for family trips. The China VI version scores extra points under environmental policies, eliminating concerns about mileage restrictions in big cities, offering high overall value. It’s a solid choice, just be cautious not to get stuck with old inventory.

From a market perspective, the Toyota Highlander has long been compliant with China's National VI emission standards, with current mainstream models all meeting the National VI requirements. Following the tightening of emission policies, automakers quickly adapted, and the Highlander meets standards for both gasoline and hybrid powertrains, reducing nitrogen oxide emissions. Sales data indicates that National VI-compliant versions are more popular, especially in areas with driving restrictions. Consumers can directly verify the environmental compliance list or check online when purchasing to ensure they get a compliant model. The Highlander's practicality hasn't diminished; instead, its combination with environmental advantages has enhanced its appeal, a trend that will continue in the coming years.
