Is the 2019 Magotan compliant with China 6 emission standards?

[McCayden]

The 2019 Magotan has some models that meet the China 6 emission standards, while others comply with the China 5 standards. The Magotan is a mid-size sedan under the Volkswagen brand, featuring a dignified and elegant exterior design, along with a well-crafted interior. The 2019 Magotan measures 4866mm in length, 1832mm in width, and 1464mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2812mm. The advantage of its long wheelbase gives the Magotan a passenger space that surpasses mainstream B-segment sedans, with an effective interior space of 1897mm. The Magotan is powered by a 1.8TSI engine, which perfectly combines turbocharging technology with gasoline direct injection technology, enabling it to deliver high power and torque characteristics.

The 2019 Magotan does have a China 6 version, but it depends on the specific model and production date. I drove my friend's 2019 330 Luxury version, which he bought in Shanghai. The salesperson clearly stated it was China 6b at that time. Later, I found out from research that Volkswagen switched to China 6 nationwide after July 2019, but cities like Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen started implementing it earlier in early 2019. So the key is to check the vehicle conformity certificate – the emission standard section on the third page will indicate whether it's China 5 or China 6. Here's a little trick: open the engine hood and check the nameplate; vehicles produced after June 2019 are mostly China 6. Different engine displacements may also vary – the entry-level 280 version might have upgraded its emissions half a year later than the 380 version. If you're buying a used car, be sure to verify the original vehicle inventory list. I've seen people get burned on this before.

The China 6 compliance issue for the 2019 Magotan varies by region. I've studied the emission standard timeline - while China 6 was officially implemented nationwide in July 2019, key regions like Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei and Yangtze River Delta started pilot programs as early as late 2018. Taking Beijing as an example, most Magotans registered in 2019 meet China 6b standards. Some southern cities adopted the standards 2-3 months later. The simplest verification method is checking the vehicle registration certificate (green book), where the emission standard is clearly printed. If the green book isn't available, the 10th digit of the VIN being 'K' indicates 2019 production - you can contact the local DMV to confirm the specific emission level. Actually, there's significant difference between China 6a and 6b, with 6b having much stricter particulate matter limits. Volkswagen equipped particulate filters on all high-trim 2019 models at that time.

When I was buying a used car, I specifically researched the 2019 Magotan. This model started upgrading to China 6 emission standards in batches from the second quarter of 2019, with many early-produced 330TSI Leading versions still being China 5. The facelifted models launched later were basically all China 6 compliant. The most reliable way to check emissions is through the vehicle's environmental information document in the glove compartment. The first three digits of the VIN (LFV) represent FAW-Volkswagen, and the seventh letter indicates the trim level. China 6 compliant cars have a carbon canister sensor near the exhaust pipe, which China 5 cars lack. Nowadays, checking emissions is convenient - just search for the 'Motor Vehicle Environmental Protection Network' mini-program on WeChat and enter the VIN to get the results.
