Is the Lexus UX compliant with China 6 emission standards?
2 Answers
Lexus UX complies with China 6 emission standards. The objectives of China 6 standards are: 1. To prevent environmental pollution caused by exhaust emissions from compression-ignition and gas-fueled spark-ignition engine vehicles; 2. To protect the ecological environment and safeguard human health. Taking the 2020 Lexus UX as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4495mm, width 1840mm, height 1540mm, wheelbase 2640mm, and fuel tank capacity 47L. The 2020 Lexus UX is equipped with a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine, with a maximum power of 127kW and a maximum torque of 207Nm, paired with a CVT continuously variable transmission.
Let me tell you, I've been driving this car for a while now, and back when I bought it, I specifically looked into the emission standards. The Lexus UX, being a new model launched in 2019, comes straight from the factory meeting the China VI emission standard—absolutely reliable. The reason is straightforward: China VI is an environmental requirement introduced around 2019 in China, much stricter than China V, significantly reducing exhaust pollution. I've done my research—the UX uses small-displacement engines, like the UX200 and the UX300e hybrid version, both of which have passed China VI certification. However, it's crucial to check the model year of the car you're buying, as pre-2019 stock might not comply, but any new purchase should be fine. Why does this matter? Meeting China VI means easier vehicle inspections, no worries about urban driving restrictions, and it's better for the environment. My advice? If you're buying one, ask the 4S dealership for an emission label to confirm—it's all about peace of mind for your daily drives.
