Is the 10th-generation Accord compliant with China 5 or China 6 emission standards?
2 Answers
The 10th-generation Accord complies with the China 6 emission standard. The 10th-generation Honda Accord is equipped with three engines: a low-power version of the 1.5-liter turbocharged engine, a high-power version of the 1.5-liter turbocharged engine, and a 2.0-liter naturally aspirated engine. Below is an introduction to the Accord: 1. The 10th-generation Accord adopts a sporty design. Many people see the 10th-generation Accord as a "reverse growth" behavior. Additionally, the body features sharp lines, a coupe-like body shape, and some eye-catching colors, which undoubtedly attract the attention of many young consumers. 2. The interior of the 10th-generation Accord abandons the dual large-screen design of the previous generation's center console. The independent 8-inch central control screen adopts a floating design, combining touch buttons with a rotary knob for enhanced operability and a sense of technology. The central control system features a customizable App icon interface and supports smartphone connectivity functions such as Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
The emission standard for the 10th-gen Accord depends on the year and region. As a frequent visitor to Honda owner forums, I know that when the 10th-gen was first launched in 2018, many versions still complied with China V standards because the China VI standard hadn't been fully implemented yet. However, around July 2019, as China VIa was enforced in cities like Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen, Honda upgraded its models, and now almost all units sold meet China VIb standards. If you're buying a car, you need to check the specific production date and local policies—vehicles in Beijing and Shanghai must generally meet China VI standards, or they can't be registered. Emission standards affect not just environmental protection but also resale value and annual inspections. In the used car market, pre-2019 China V vehicles are priced lower. I recommend bringing the vehicle conformity certificate when purchasing a car—it clearly states the emission level to avoid future hassles. Also, keep an eye on government websites, as policies change quickly.
