Is the Volkswagen Lavida compliant with China VI emission standards?
2 Answers
Volkswagen Lavida models are available in both China V and China VI emission standards. The models compliant with China VI emission standards include: 2018 Classic 1.5L Manual Comfort Edition China VI, 2018 Classic 1.5L Manual & Automatic Trend Edition China VI, 2019 Lavida Start 1.5L Manual Trend Edition China VI, 2019 Lavida Start 1.5L Manual Comfort Edition China VI, 2021 1.5L Manual Trend Edition, etc. Taking the 2021 1.5L Manual Trend Edition Volkswagen Lavida as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4670mm, width 1806mm, height 1474mm, with a wheelbase of 2688mm, a fuel tank capacity of 51 liters, and a trunk capacity of 510 liters.
I've been researching cars for a while. The Volkswagen Lavida models produced in 2019 and later generally meet the China 6B emission standards, thanks to their updated engine technologies. For instance, the EA211 series comes equipped with a particulate filter to trap particulate matter. To confirm whether your car complies with China 6 standards, the most straightforward method is to check the information on the vehicle registration certificate or the nameplate label – if it's marked as China VI, then it's compliant. The China 6 version of the Lavida doesn't show significant changes in power output, but it offers better fuel economy, making it more fuel-efficient to drive and easier to pass annual inspections. I've test-driven several new Lavida models and found their emission systems to be quite stable, without any unwarranted warning lights popping up. However, remember to stick to regular maintenance, such as oil changes and sensor checks, to avoid potential issues. With increasingly stringent environmental regulations, this car is quite suitable for families prioritizing reliability.
