How to Distinguish Between National VI and National V Santana?
2 Answers
The differences between National VI and National V Santana are as follows: 1. Both the 2019 Santana National V and National VI versions are equipped with a 1.5L-L4 naturally aspirated engine. However, the National V emission standard model has a maximum horsepower of 110PS, maximum power of 81kW, maximum power speed of 6000rpm, maximum torque of 150N·m, and maximum torque speed of 4000rpm. The National VI emission standard model has a maximum horsepower of 111PS, maximum power of 82kW, maximum power speed of 6100rpm, maximum torque of 145N·m, and maximum torque speed of 4000rpm. The transmission system is matched with a 5-speed manual transmission or a 6-speed automatic transmission. 2. In terms of fuel tank capacity, the National V emission standard model has a fuel tank capacity of 55 liters, while the National VI emission standard model has a fuel tank capacity of 52.8 liters.
The simplest way to distinguish between China 6 and China 5 Santana models is to check the vehicle nameplate or environmental information sheet. I learned this from the 4S repair shop—every Santana has a silver metal nameplate in the engine compartment showing the complete model number. China 6 versions usually end with the letters J or K. Additionally, the factory-issued environmental compliance document must clearly state 'China VI' to confirm it's a genuine China 6 model. Production date is another clue—Santanas manufactured after July 2019 are mostly China 6. By the way, China 6 vehicles have a visible particulate filter in the exhaust tailpipe upon startup, which China 5 models lack. Finally, I recommend checking the VIN by entering it on SAIC Volkswagen's official website to verify detailed parameters.
