How to Distinguish Between China IV and China V Vehicles?
2 Answers
Vehicles produced after July 1, 2011, comply with the China IV standard, while the China V emission standard was implemented on July 1, 2017. Therefore, vehicles meeting the China IV emission standard were manufactured between 2011 and 2017. Below are some relevant details: 1. Emission Standards: As global environmental pollution issues become increasingly severe, countries worldwide are implementing stricter emission standards, which greatly benefit the protection of the Earth's environment. 2. Exhaust Treatment: Under stringent emission standards, automakers actively develop new technologies to reduce engine exhaust emissions.
When distinguishing between China IV and China V vehicles, I mainly look at three aspects: First, check the vehicle's manufacturing date. Generally, private cars produced after July 2017 are mostly China V, while those before are mostly China IV. Second, check the third page of the motor vehicle registration certificate, which clearly states the emission standard code. If it says 'GB18352.5-2013', it's China V. Third, look for the environmental protection label, though paper labels have been discontinued now. You can enter the VIN on the Motor Vehicle Environmental Protection Website to check. Pay special attention to these when buying used cars, as some regions restrict the transfer of China IV vehicles, and areas with poor emissions may even impose driving restrictions. It's best to take photos and keep these records to avoid disputes during transactions.
