Is the Tayron compliant with China 6 emission standards?
3 Answers
The Tayron complies with China 6 emission standards, which refer to the limits and measurement methods for pollutants emitted by light-duty vehicles. The Tayron is a mid-size SUV under FAW-Volkswagen, with exterior dimensions of 4589mm in length, 1860mm in width, and 1660mm in height, a wheelbase of 2731mm, and a fuel tank capacity of 60L. The Tayron is equipped with a 1.4T turbocharged engine, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, delivering a maximum horsepower of 150 hp, a maximum power of 110 kW, a maximum power speed range of 5000 to 6000 rpm, a maximum torque of 250 Nm, and a maximum torque speed range of 1750 to 3000 rpm.
I specialize in automotive environmental research and can clearly explain the China VI emission standards. Currently, most vehicles sold in China, including the entire Tayron lineup, meet the China VI standards. However, it's important to note that China VI is divided into two phases: a and b. Vehicles produced after 2019 meet the stricter China VI-b standard. Volkswagen has made significant efforts in the Tayron's exhaust system, such as upgrading the three-way catalytic converter, installing a particulate filter, and even optimizing the crankcase ventilation system. Before purchasing, it's advisable to check the vehicle's environmental compliance list to ensure the PN limit is ≤6x10^11, which confirms it's a true China VI-b compliant vehicle. With urban relocation policies becoming increasingly stringent, China VI-b has been a mandatory requirement since 2023, so this is not something to overlook.
Just picked up the Tiguan 280 Luxury last month and specifically checked this issue. The 4S store guaranteed it meets China 6b emission standards across the entire range, which is also clearly marked on the vehicle conformity certificate. The salesperson particularly reminded me: since July 2019, all new cars sold nationwide are mandated to meet China 6 standards, with German cars being among the first to fully comply. However, it depends on the specific production date—they found a few 2020 models in stock that still met China 6a, saying only inventory cars were like that. It's recommended to open the engine hood and check the 10th digit of the VIN: L stands for 2020 production, M for 2021—the newer, the safer. Nowadays, new car registrations require uploading environmental information, making fraud highly unlikely.
