1 Answers
It is recommended to purchase the Passat model with China 6 emission standard. The following are the specific differences between China 5 and China 6 standards for the Passat: 1. Carbon monoxide emissions: China 5 vehicles emit 1000mg per kilometer; China 6 vehicles emit 500mg per kilometer. 2. Letter representation: China 5 is denoted by V; China 6 is denoted by VI. 3. Issuing authorities: China 5 standard was issued by the Ministry of Environmental Protection; China 6 standard was jointly issued by the Ministry of Environmental Protection and the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine. 4. Emission control level: China 5 standard's emission control level is equivalent to the European Stage 5 emission standard currently in effect; China 6 standard's emission control level is a standard established to prevent environmental pollution from exhaust emissions of compression-ignition and gas-fueled positive-ignition engine vehicles, and to protect human health.
