Is the Haval H6 compliant with China 5 or China 6 emission standards?
3 Answers
Haval H6 models produced before 2016 generally comply with the China 4 emission standard. Those produced after 2016 meet the China 5 standard, while the 2019 models adhere to the China 6 standard. There are three main differences between China 6 and China 5 standards: 1. The primary difference lies in the emission standards. China 6 is significantly stricter than China 5. According to the "2017 Air Pollution Prevention and Control Work Plan" issued by the Ministry of Environmental Protection, China 6 standards impose 40% stricter limits on carbon monoxide, PM fine particulate matter, and benzene content in gasoline compared to China 5. 2. China 6 standards primarily target automobile manufacturers, intensifying inspections in areas such as production consistency checks, new vehicle inspections, and in-use vehicle compliance checks to ensure manufacturers produce vehicles that meet national emission standards. 3. Compared to China 5, China 6 has enhanced monitoring requirements for plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, including regulations on energy storage systems, thermal management systems, brake regeneration, drive motors, generators, plug-in EES, and other aspects.
From an automotive technology perspective, the Haval H6 mostly complies with the China VI emission standards, especially for models produced after 2020. The China VI standards are stricter, requiring greater reductions in harmful emissions like nitrogen oxides and particulate matter compared to China V, which significantly impacts urban air quality. Based on my research into Great Wall Motors' updates, they responded quickly to policy changes, upgrading the H6 series around 2019 with recalibrated engines, fuel systems, and exhaust treatment devices. Driving a China VI-compliant vehicle may feel no different in daily use, but it passes annual inspections more easily and qualifies for certain environmental benefits. When purchasing a used car, it's crucial to check the production date on the vehicle compliance certificate or nameplate—models from 2019 onward are generally compliant. Emission standard upgrades are an industry trend, and as a popular SUV, the Haval H6 is leading the charge, helping users adapt to future regulations.
As a regular car owner, I recommend checking the specific details of the Haval H6 to confirm if it meets the China 6 emission standards. Most newer models comply with China 6. When I bought my car, I asked the dealer, and they said all H6 models after 2020 have been upgraded for cleaner emissions and reduced pollution fees. From my experience, searching for the model's specifications online or checking the compliance certificate at the dealership is the most reliable. Emission standards affect road legality and resale value—China 6 cars have higher resale prices, especially in cities with license plate restrictions. New Haval H6 models generally meet this standard, and maintenance is simpler with slightly lower costs. This change boosts buyer confidence, making it both eco-friendly and hassle-free. Staying updated on policy changes is helpful.
