What does the 'Guo Ji' in cars represent?
1 Answers
Car 'Guo Ji' represents the emission standards. The 'Guo Ji' classification is differentiated by letters, with I corresponding to Guo 1, II to Guo 2, III to Guo 3, IV to Guo 4, V to Guo 5, and VI to Guo 6. Currently, Guo 6 is being implemented, which is divided into two phases: Guo 6a and Guo 6b. In cities like Beijing and Shanghai, vehicles are required to meet emission standards higher than Guo 5. Therefore, when purchasing a new or used car, it is necessary to choose a vehicle with Guo 5 or higher emission standards, otherwise, it may not be possible to complete the transfer or drive legally. In second and third-tier regions, vehicles must meet at least Guo 4 emission standards, so when buying a car, one should choose a vehicle with Guo 4 emission standards. In some more remote rural areas, vehicles with Guo 3 and Guo 2 standards are still acceptable.
