What are the differences between National 5 and National 6 vehicles?
2 Answers
Here are the differences between National 5 and National 6 vehicles: Price difference: National 6 vehicles are slightly more expensive than National 5 vehicles. Access restrictions: With the implementation of the National 6 policy, some vehicles that do not meet the emission standards will face certain restrictions when driving. Difference in residual value: Currently, only National 6 vehicles are being sold normally, while other vehicles with lower emission standards may require promotional activities to attract buyers. As automotive regulations become increasingly strict, vehicles that do not meet the National 6 emission standards are not allowed on the road, resulting in significant differences in residual value.
As an ordinary person who loves blue skies and white clouds, I've driven both China V and China VI vehicles and found that the China VI emission standards are much stricter, reducing pollutants by nearly 50%, with significant drops in particulate matter and nitrogen oxides, protecting urban air quality. The government's push for China VI is key to tackling smog, especially in first-tier cities, where China VI vehicles also avoid traffic restrictions. Although they cost more to buy, they offer greater peace of mind in the long run and contribute to the environment. I always prioritize recommending eco-friendly models—after all, who doesn’t want to breathe clean air? These standards also require higher-quality fuel, and the systems are more sophisticated, but daily driving feels about the same, just with added peace of mind. Overall, choosing China VI for environmental reasons is a wise decision—it’s both hassle-free and responsible.
