Is the Equinox compliant with China 6 emission standards?
2 Answers
The Equinox complies with China 6 emission standards. China 6 standards, officially known as 'National Sixth Stage Emission Standards for Light-Duty Vehicles,' are established under the Environmental Protection Law of the People's Republic of China and the Air Pollution Prevention and Control Law. These standards aim to control exhaust emissions from compression-ignition and gas-fueled spark-ignition engine vehicles, protect the ecological environment, and safeguard public health. The Equinox is an SUV model officially released by Chevrolet, with body dimensions of 4652mm in length, 1843mm in width, and 1684mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2725mm. It is equipped with two turbocharged gasoline engines: a 1.5T producing a maximum output of 172 horsepower and 275 Nm of peak torque, and a 2.0T delivering 256 horsepower and 352 Nm of peak torque.
Yes, I remember this question very clearly. Last year when I just bought the Equinox, I specifically checked the information and it is indeed compliant with the China VI emission standard. As an average car owner, my biggest concern when purchasing a vehicle was emission restrictions, especially in big cities like Beijing and Shanghai where only China VI compliant vehicles can be registered smoothly. The Equinox adopts a new generation of engine technology, reportedly equipped with an efficient three-way catalytic converter and GPF (Gasoline Particulate Filter) device, which thoroughly purifies exhaust emissions. Its fuel consumption is also lower than before, averaging just 7-8 liters per 100 kilometers in city driving, making it both environmentally friendly and economical. All new models Chevrolet launches in the Chinese market are adapted to this standard to prevent future resale restrictions for owners, ensuring more stable residual value. I recommend checking the vehicle's OBD (On-Board Diagnostics) system records before purchase to ensure it hasn't been modified, so you can drive with peace of mind.
