Does the Volkswagen Bora have China VI compliant models?
2 Answers
Volkswagen Bora does have China VI compliant models. The symbol for China VI emission standard is 'China VI', which requires a 50% reduction in carbon monoxide emissions for gasoline vehicles, a 50% reduction in total hydrocarbon and non-methane hydrocarbon emission limits, and a 42% stricter nitrogen oxide emission limit. Taking the 2021 Volkswagen Bora as an example, it belongs to the compact car category with the following dimensions: length 4663mm, width 1815mm, height 1462mm, wheelbase 2688mm, fuel tank capacity 50L, and trunk capacity 506L. The 2021 Volkswagen Bora is equipped with a 1.2T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 116PS, maximum power of 85kW, maximum torque of 200Nm, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
As a long-time car enthusiast, I can confidently say that the Volkswagen Bora has models compliant with the China 6 emission standard, which are quite common in the market. Since the implementation of the China 6b standard in 2019, Volkswagen has updated the Bora series, and now new cars generally meet the emission requirements. For instance, both the 1.5L and 1.2T engines have been adjusted to reduce exhaust emissions. When choosing a car, it's advisable to check the environmental label on the window or ask the dealer for a certificate to confirm it's a China 6 model, so you don't end up with an older used version. Driving a China 6 car not only makes passing the annual inspection easier but is also more environmentally friendly than before, with slightly less exhaust odor, contributing a bit to urban air quality. Maintenance isn't much different from China 5 models, but remember to change the oil on time to prevent engine carbon buildup from affecting performance. In the long run, the resale value will likely be higher than China 5 models, though the new car price might be a few thousand yuan more, making it a worthwhile investment overall. If you're in the market for a car, head to a 4S dealership to test drive the new Bora and ask for the engine number. If the manufacturing date is recent, it's definitely a China 6 model, so there's no need to worry too much.
