What are the symbols for China 5 and China 6?
2 Answers
The symbols for China 5 and China 6 are "China V, China VI". The following are the differences between China 5 and China 6: 1. Price difference: China 6 vehicles are slightly more expensive than China 5 vehicles, mainly because China 6 vehicles, in response to policy implementation, require automakers to submit applications to relevant departments and undergo various pollution tests, which increases the cost and consequently raises the vehicle's price. Additionally, China 6 vehicles are equipped with more configurations compared to China 5 to reduce environmental pollution. 2. Difference in access restrictions: With the implementation of the China 6 policy, certain vehicles that do not meet the emission standards face certain driving restrictions. Generally, China 5 or lower vehicles may be directly banned from road use due to non-compliance with emission requirements. Therefore, many owners of China 5 vehicles switch to China 6 vehicles to ensure normal road driving.
The symbols for China 5 and China 6 don't have specific patterns; they're mainly labels with 'China 5' or 'China 6' written on them to indicate the meaning. I experienced the standard change when driving an older car—China 5 was implemented in 2017 as the fifth-stage emission standard, while China 6 came later in 2019 with stricter requirements. These symbols are used to identify a vehicle's emission level, making it easy to stick a label on the car. China 6 is divided into phases 6a and 6b, which further limit harmful exhaust emissions like carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides. I've seen some car manuals labeled 'China 5' or 'China 6,' representing the vehicle's compliance level. After the upgrade, new cars emit cleaner exhaust, reducing pollution and benefiting the engine. I recommend checking this symbol when buying a car—opting for China 6 saves hassle and avoids future policy restrictions.
