Is the 10th-generation Accord compliant with China 5 or China 6 emission standards?
4 Answers
The 10th-generation Accord meets the China 5 emission standard, not the China 6 standard. Here is more information about this vehicle: 1. The overall dimensions of the 10th-generation Accord are quite good, with a length, width, and height of 4893*1862*1449mm. The vehicle offers ample space in terms of length and width, and the wheelbase reaches 2830mm. 2. The entire 10th-generation Accord lineup is equipped with a 1.5T CVT powertrain. The 1.5T engine delivers a maximum torque of 260Nm and a maximum horsepower of 194ps, with excellent durability and stability. The fuel consumption for the 230 version is 6.4L/100km, while the higher-power 260 version has a lower fuel consumption of 6.0L/100km.
I've been driving the 10th-generation Accord for several years, purchased the 2019 model year. The 4S store salesperson clearly stated it meets China VI emission standards. The initial 2018 version might be China V, but since China implemented China VI-B standards starting in 2019, Honda upgraded it. When buying a car, I recommend checking the manufacturing date, which can be found on the year label inside the door frame. The China VI standard is stricter with better emission reduction effects, beneficial for the environment. I haven't noticed any power decrease while driving; instead, the urban fuel consumption has slightly decreased. If you're looking in the used car market, remember to check the environmental certification label. The Accord is generally reliable, and I find it worry-free to use.
As a car enthusiast, I've researched the emissions of the 10th-generation Accord. When it was first introduced to China in 2018, it complied with China 5 standards, but in mid-2019, Honda upgraded it to China 6B in response to the China 6 policy. The difference lies in the emission limits: China 6 requires stricter nitrogen oxide control. Before purchasing, I would check the vehicle's certificate of conformity or VIN code to confirm the year. The upgrade didn't affect the Accord's performance; instead, it became more eco-friendly, making it suitable for city driving. Considering long-term value, China 6 compliant cars hold their value better, especially in large cities with strict traffic restriction policies.
I've dealt with many Accord customers. For the 10th generation, it depends on the production year. Those manufactured in 2018 are mostly China 5 standard, while those after 2019 are basically China 6. I suggest checking the environmental information when purchasing, such as the notation on the registration certificate. The China 6 standard is better for air quality with stricter limits, but it doesn't affect actual driving performance. If the budget allows, I recommend choosing the China 6 version for easier future inspections. This generation of Accord has a good reputation, offering spacious interiors and fuel efficiency.
