Does the Wuling Hongguang S meet the China VI emission standard?
2 Answers
The Wuling Hongguang S meets the China VI emission standard, specifically the 2019 manual standard version Wuling Hongguang S3. The vehicle dimensions are 4420mm in length, 1685mm in width, and 1770mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2720mm and a fuel tank capacity of 50 liters. The 2019 Comfort version Wuling Hongguang 1.5S features a MacPherson strut front suspension and a spiral spring five-link non-independent rear suspension. It is equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 99PS, a maximum power of 73kW, and a maximum torque of 140Nm, paired with a 6-speed manual transmission.
The Wuling Hongguang S indeed has models that comply with the China 6 emission standards! I recall that the phased upgrades began around 2019, with technical adjustments made to both the classic 1.5L naturally aspirated version and the older 1.2L engine. The implementation timeline varied by region—for instance, major cities like Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou could only purchase China 6-compliant models after July 2019, while some areas had longer transition periods. Nowadays, new vehicles predominantly meet the China 6b standard. A visual clue is the extended bulge in the exhaust pipe, housing the additional emissions control equipment required for China 6 compliance. When buying used cars, extra caution is needed: many cities now restrict the transfer of China 5 vehicles, making ownership transfer cumbersome. For absolute certainty, check the vehicle’s conformity certificate or environmental compliance documentation, or visit a 4S dealership to verify factory specifications using the chassis number.
