Is There a China VI Version of the Golf?

There is a China VI version of the Golf, which is equipped with a more efficient three-way catalytic converter to reduce vehicle pollutant emissions. The China VI version of the Golf does not feature significant changes in its exterior design, maintaining the design philosophy of the previous generation. The front face adopts Volkswagen's signature family design, with the grille featuring chrome accents. The Golf is a compact sedan under FAW-Volkswagen, with a front MacPherson independent suspension and a rear torsion beam non-independent suspension. The vehicle dimensions are 4296mm in length, 1788mm in width, and 1471mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2636mm.
I'm also a car enthusiast myself and have driven a Volkswagen Golf for several years. The China 6 version definitely exists because China started implementing the China 6 emission standards in 2019, and the Volkswagen Golf followed up with updates. I bought the 2020 1.4T model, and the salesperson showed me the nameplate on the spot, which clearly stated China 6B. Driving it, I felt no change in power, but it’s more fuel-efficient and eco-friendly, with significantly fewer exhaust emissions. During daily commutes, the fuel consumption is around 7L, and even in city traffic jams, there’s no worry about pollution exceeding standards. I recommend checking the new car catalog or VIN number before purchasing to confirm. Both the Golf GTI and the standard version meet the standards. Driving a China 6 version not only complies with regulations but also contributes to air purification, especially in big cities like Beijing and Shanghai. Overall, the China 6 version is quite common and poses no major issues.
