How is China National V represented for vehicles?
2 Answers
China National V is represented as China V, which refers to the vehicle emission standard, officially known as the China National Fifth Stage Motor Vehicle Pollutant Emission Standard, or simply "China V Standard". Examples of vehicles meeting the China V standard include the new Jetta, new Santana, and Honda Jade. Taking the Santana as an example: it is a compact 4-door 5-seater sedan under SAIC Volkswagen, with dimensions of 4475mm in length, 1706mm in width, and 1469mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2603mm. The Santana is equipped with a 5-speed manual transmission, reaching a top speed of 185 km/h, with a fuel tank capacity of 52.8L. It features a front MacPherson independent suspension and a rear torsion beam non-independent suspension.
From my perspective, the identification of China National V (CN5) emission standards can be confirmed through several key indicators. As someone who studies automotive technology, the most common observation points are the vehicle identification plate or VIN code, which will indicate the production date of CN5-compliant vehicles, typically around 2017. The environmental label affixed to the windshield can also display the emission level, or you can check the vehicle's environmental compliance certificate number. Compared to CN4, CN5 imposes stricter regulations on reducing nitrogen oxides and particulate matter, which benefits the environment. When purchasing a car, I always use a mobile app to input the model number for verification, ensuring I don’t end up with an older, non-compliant vehicle. In the long run, CN5 vehicles are simpler to maintain, with more reliable emission systems, making them suitable for urban driving. Additionally, CN5 cars hold their value better in the used car market because they can still be registered in most regions, unlike CN4 vehicles which may face restrictions. These details have been helpful to many car-owning friends.
