Does the Toyota Prado have China VI emission standard models?
2 Answers
Toyota Prado does not have China VI emission standard models. The currently available models are all China V versions. China V refers to the National Fifth Stage Emission Standard for motor vehicles. Compared to China IV, China V reduces nitrogen oxide emissions by 25% for light-duty vehicles and 43% for heavy-duty vehicles. The Toyota Prado is a mid-to-large-sized vehicle with a 5-door, 7-seat body structure. Its dimensions are 4840mm in length, 1885mm in width, and 1890mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2790mm. The front and rear tire specifications are 265/60R18. In terms of suspension, the Toyota Prado is equipped with a double-wishbone independent suspension at the front and a four-link non-independent suspension at the rear.
I've been driving off-road vehicles for over a decade and enjoy researching various models. The Toyota Prado is one of my favorites. This model does indeed have China VI emission-compliant versions, and most new models in the Chinese market now meet the China VI standard. I remember when the China VI policy was first introduced a few years ago, Toyota quickly upgraded the Prado's engine system, such as equipping it with more efficient exhaust treatment devices to ensure compliance. Choosing a China VI version has many advantages: first, there are no registration restrictions in big cities—I easily completed the procedures when changing my car in Beijing last year; second, the power performance remains equally strong, providing a stable drive with even lower fuel consumption; third, long-term maintenance is hassle-free with fewer breakdowns. If you're considering buying a used car, pay attention to the manufacturing year—I recommend looking at models from 2019 onwards to ensure environmental compliance. When taking it out for road trips, you can enjoy off-road fun while being environmentally friendly, making it a worthwhile investment.
