What happens to China V vehicles when China VI is implemented?

[DelChloe]

If the vehicle is China V or China IV, the implementation of China VI will not affect normal road use, as purchased vehicles are subject to the emission standards at the time of purchase. Therefore, as long as the standards are met, the vehicle can continue to be driven. After the implementation of China VI emissions, the resale value of new China V vehicles will be lower than before, increasing the cost of changing cars. The differences between China V and China VI are: 1. Different carbon monoxide emission requirements: China V vehicles have a carbon monoxide content of 1000mg per kilometer; China VI vehicles have a carbon monoxide content of 500mg per kilometer. 2. Different letter representations: China V is represented by V; China VI is represented by VI. 3. Different issuing departments: China V standards were issued by the Ministry of Environmental Protection; China VI standards were issued by the Ministry of Environmental Protection and the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine.

As an ordinary owner of a National V standard vehicle, I believe my car can still run normally for a while, but I need to pay attention to policy changes. For example, some major cities may impose restrictions on National V vehicles, so I should check local traffic regulations to avoid travel limitations. Regular maintenance is essential, including periodic inspections of the exhaust system to ensure the car remains in good condition. In the long run, if financially feasible, I might consider replacing it with a National VI standard vehicle or a new energy vehicle, which would be more worry-free and compliant with new regulations. There are many new car options on the market, and I can keep an eye on dealer promotions to save some money. Overall, there's no need to panic—just drive well and plan gradually, but stay informed about external changes to prepare for uncertainties.

Having been in the used car market for many years, I've noticed that the prices of China 5 emission standard vehicles have dropped significantly after the implementation of China 6 standards. If you're planning to sell your car, I recommend doing it as soon as possible, because prices can plummet when major cities impose more driving restrictions. You can get better deals by negotiating with reliable platforms like Guazi or dealerships. If you're not ready to sell yet, you can keep using it, but be mindful of depreciation issues. When upgrading to a new car, prioritize China 6 or electric models as they're more popular and easier to resell. Timing is crucial in used car transactions—off-peak selling can minimize losses. In short, don't delay too long and compare multiple channels.

I support the implementation of China VI emission standards because it reduces pollution and protects the environment. As an owner of a China V vehicle, I can comply with the policy by continuing to use my car while reducing high-emission behaviors such as avoiding congested routes. If conditions permit, I can switch to a new China VI-compliant vehicle or opt for an electric car, which is more environmentally friendly and saves on fuel costs. The government sometimes offers subsidies for old car replacements—don’t miss out. Individual actions can accelerate green mobility. Pay more attention to air quality reports and respond with action.
