What does T-Roc National V mean?
3 Answers
T-Roc National V refers to the T-Roc model that meets China's National V emission standards, which is the fifth stage of China's motor vehicle pollutant emission standards. The 2020 T-Roc models comply with the National VI emission standards. The T-Roc is FAW-Volkswagen's first SUV model, positioned as a compact SUV. More details about the T-Roc National V are as follows: 1. Configuration: The new model features an added USB port on the front of the roof, while the 280TSI automatic comfort and 280TSI automatic comfort 4WD models come standard with a dual-zone automatic air conditioning system equipped with CleanAir 2.0 air purification. Additionally, users can opt for the Active Info Display full LCD digital instrument panel. 2. Powertrain: The model continues to be equipped with 1.2T/1.4T inline four-cylinder engines, all of which meet the National VI emission standards. The 1.2T (200TSI) engine delivers a maximum power of 85kW (116PS), paired with a 5-speed manual transmission. The 1.4T low-power version (230TSI) engine produces a maximum power of 96kW (131PS), matched with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. The 1.4T high-power version (280TSI) engine offers a maximum power of 110kW (150PS), paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, and is available in 4WD models equipped with the 4MOTION system.
The T-Roc refers to the Volkswagen T-Roc model, and China V represents the fifth-stage national emission standard, meaning this vehicle meets the older emission requirements set by the Chinese government, such as limits on pollutant levels. Simply put, in China, to reduce air pollution, vehicles are classified into different emission tiers. The China V standard was implemented around 2017 and has since been upgraded to the stricter China VI standard. So, if you see a T-Roc labeled with China V, it might be an older model or stock unit, indicating its environmental performance isn’t as good as the newer China VI models, but it can still be driven normally. In daily use, there’s no significant difference—it drives like any other car. However, in some major cities like Beijing or Shanghai, China V vehicles may face driving restrictions, meaning they can’t enter certain areas. When buying a car, pay attention to the model year and local regulations to avoid policy pitfalls. In the long run, opting for a China VI model is more hassle-free, and the emission upgrade is better for the environment.
The T-Roc is commonly known as the Tange in China, and the National V (Guo V) indicates that it meets the country's fifth-stage emission standards. Simply put, the government requires the vehicle's exhaust to be cleaner. I've driven similar cars and found them fine for daily use, with normal acceleration and noise control. The emission standards range from National I to National VI, with National V being the older version, mostly used in cars manufactured before 2019. Currently, new cars in the market are mostly National VI compliant, so a National V T-Roc is likely to be a used car or leftover stock. There isn't much difference in performance, but in cities with strict environmental regulations, it might face driving restrictions, affecting convenience. Based on experience, it's advisable to check local policies when choosing a car to avoid inconvenience.
