What emission standard does the Orlando comply with?
2 Answers
The Orlando complies with both China V and China VI emission standards. Automobile emission standards regulate the content of harmful gases such as carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxides, particulate matter, and soot emitted from vehicle exhaust. Below are methods to check a vehicle's emission standard: 1. Check the label on the back of the vehicle's environmental protection compliance sticker to easily view the emission standard. 2. The first page of the vehicle's conformity certificate contains an emission standard description, though it's not directly stated as China V or VI but rather as a string of characters. 3. The vehicle's production year can provide a rough estimate of its emission standard. 4. Take the vehicle registration certificate to the local DMV for inquiry, or a photocopy can also be used for checking.
When I was considering buying the Orlando, I specifically checked its emission standards. Nowadays, new cars are mostly China VI compliant, and my 2021 model is the China VI-b version. This means it performs well in pollution control, with cleaner exhaust emissions, and isn’t subject to driving restrictions in major cities like Beijing or Shanghai. If you’re buying a new car, you can directly check the vehicle conformity certificate or the manufacturer’s brochure to confirm its emission standard. Better emissions are also beneficial for the environment, helping to reduce smog. Checking your car’s emission standard is simple—just open the hood to find the emission label or use a mobile app to input the VIN and check official data, avoiding the risk of buying a falsely advertised new car. Additionally, the China VI standard has higher requirements, so it’s important to regularly inspect the catalytic converter during maintenance to avoid issues during annual inspections. In short, modern Orlando owners can feel confident choosing a China VI-compliant model.
