Is the BMW X1 compliant with China VI emission standards?
2 Answers
The BMW X1 complies with the China VI emission standards. The China VI standards for gasoline vehicles include a 50% reduction in carbon monoxide emissions, a 50% decrease in the emission limits for total hydrocarbons and non-methane hydrocarbons, and a 42% stricter limit for nitrogen oxide emissions. The China VI emission standards specify the requirements for the sixth stage of type testing for pollutant emissions from light-duty vehicles, as well as the methods for checking and determining production conformity and in-use compliance. The BMW X1 has dimensions of 4565mm in length, 1821mm in width, and 1620mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2780mm. The engine in this vehicle delivers a maximum horsepower of 140Ps, a maximum power output of 103kW, and a maximum torque of 220Nm.
Since 2019, most new models of the BMW X1 have complied with the China VI emission standards. I've driven this car for three years, and it passes the annual inspection smoothly every time, with emission test results far below the limits, thanks to its efficient B-series engine. Nowadays, when buying a car, especially an SUV, choosing one that meets China VI standards is crucial because many cities have strict emission regulations, like Shanghai, where older engines are simply not allowed on the road. I've also compared it with other brands, such as the Audi Q3, which has improved its technology, but the X1 offers a more exhilarating driving experience while being fuel-efficient and eco-friendly for daily use. If you're considering buying one, remember to check the vehicle's production year or ask the dealership for the latest list to avoid pitfalls. The environmental protection directory is also available on the official website of the vehicle management office for verification.
