Is the Civic compliant with China VI emission standards?
2 Answers
The latest 2022 Civic model is compliant with China VI emission standards. Below is a related introduction to the China VI standards: Introduction to China VI standards: China VI standard vehicles refer to those that meet the national sixth-stage motor vehicle emission standards. The full name is 'National Sixth-Stage Limits and Measurement Methods for Emissions from Light-Duty Vehicles'. The symbol for China VI is 'VI', which can be seen on the vehicle's environmental protection label. Purpose of China VI standard fuel: China VI fuel is primarily a new regulation introduced by the state to address environmental protection. The China VI standard fuel is designed to reduce the emission of toxic and harmful gases. In cases where China VI standard fuel is not yet widely available, China V fuel can be used temporarily.
From a technical perspective, I've studied the Honda Civic's emission system and can confirm it has a China 6 version, specifically the China 6b model. Honda has been upgrading engines and catalytic converters since 2019 to meet stricter emission standards, such as reducing harmful gas emissions like nitrogen oxides. In practical use, this has little impact on the driving experience—the car still delivers strong power and maintains good fuel efficiency, while making significant environmental contributions by improving urban air quality. I recommend carefully checking the vehicle's nameplate or manual when purchasing to confirm the China 6b label, avoiding future issues with registration or usage due to policy changes, especially in major cities like Beijing and Shanghai where China 6 vehicles are required.
