Has the Civic National VI been launched?

The Civic National VI has been launched. Below is a detailed introduction to the National VI standard: 1. Relevant restrictions: (1) National VI A standard: Carbon monoxide 700mg/km, Non-methane hydrocarbons 68mg/km, Nitrogen oxides 60mg/km. PM fine particles 45mg/km, etc. (2) National VI B standard: Carbon monoxide 500mg/km, Non-methane hydrocarbons 35mg/km, Nitrogen oxides 35mg/km. PM fine particles 3mg/km, etc. 2. Others: After the implementation of the National VI standard, it only affects the registration of new National V vehicles. Already registered and annual-inspected National V vehicles will not be affected in normal use. Compared with the National V standard, the National VI standard for heavy-duty vehicles reduces nitrogen oxides and particulate matter limits by 77% and 67%, respectively.
I bought a China VI Honda Civic last year, which has been available in the domestic market for quite some time—I remember it was launched around 2020. After driving over 10,000 kilometers, I find its power response quite sharp, with an average fuel consumption of around 7 liters per 100 km, which is slightly more economical than the older models. The China VI emission standard requires cleaner exhaust, so the car is equipped with a particulate filter and catalytic converter, making it more eco-friendly with no unpleasant odors. For daily commuting in the city, the space is sufficient, and the trunk isn’t cramped when carrying some cargo. Maintenance hasn’t been a major issue either—just regular servicing at the 4S shop. Overall, it offers good value for money. If you’re interested in this car, most dealerships should have it in stock now, with prices ranging from 150,000 to 200,000 RMB. A test drive would be a practical way to evaluate it. In the long run, China VI models hold their resale value decently, so you won’t lose much if you decide to upgrade in a few years.
