What is the difference between Baojun National V and National VI?

[DelManuel]

Baojun National V and National VI differ in pollutant emissions: The National VI engine uses a three-way catalytic converter, which improves power performance and reduces engine emissions; National V does not use a three-way catalytic converter. The National VI standard adopts a fuel-neutral principle, meaning that regardless of the type of fuel used by the vehicle, the emission limits are the same. After the implementation of the National VI vehicle emission standard, vehicle exhaust emissions are reduced by more than 50% compared to National V vehicles. In terms of emission standards, nitrogen oxides are reduced by 77%. Taking the Baojun 530 as an example, it complies with both National V and National VI standards. It is a compact SUV with body dimensions of 4690mm, 1835mm, 1750mm, and a wheelbase of 2750mm.

As an enthusiast who frequently studies emission technologies, I believe the biggest difference between Baojun's China 5 and China 6 standards lies in the upgraded environmental requirements. The China 6 standard is much stricter than China 5—for example, the CO emission limit is reduced by about half, and there's added control over PM particulate matter. Many China 6-compliant vehicles are now equipped with GPF (Gasoline Particulate Filters). Additionally, the testing methods have become more realistic, including Real Driving Emissions (RDE) tests, ensuring cleaner urban driving performance. For Baojun models, this means significant modifications to the engine system, naturally increasing costs. However, in the long run, it helps reduce air pollution and contributes to bluer skies in our cities. If you're buying a car, I recommend prioritizing the China 6 version—not only for smoother registration but also to avoid future emission policy obsolescence. Overall, China 6 represents technological progress. Though initially more expensive, it's well worth promoting for the broader environmental benefits.

I've been driving my Baojun car for several years, and the most practical experience is that the China VI standard is indeed more worry-free than China V. The main differences lie in the emission system: China V models have simpler exhaust systems, which are cheaper to repair but more prone to issues during emission tests. China VI models, on the other hand, are equipped with additional after-treatment devices, such as upgraded OBD diagnostics, making them more sensitive and capable of reporting faults in advance. For car owners, driving a China VI model in the city offers more peace of mind, as there's no need to worry about policy restrictions during registration. Additionally, resale value is higher because everyone now values the environmental label. The downside is slightly higher maintenance costs, such as regular filter replacements, but in the long run, fuel consumption might be slightly better due to optimized combustion efficiency. In summary, as an average user, I would recommend China VI when choosing a car—it represents the future trend and makes daily driving more sustainable.

From a young person's perspective, the difference between Baojun's China 5 and China 6 standards is that the latter is more environmentally friendly. The China 6 standard further reduces tailpipe pollutants, such as significantly lowering nitrogen oxide limits, which helps reduce smog in big cities. Although China 6-compliant cars cost a few thousand yuan more when purchasing, there’s little change in noise levels when driving, acceleration remains smooth, and it supports the concept of green travel, leaving a cleaner environment for future generations. Talking more about environmental topics, this kind of upgrade is a global trend—even the EU is following suit. It’s pretty cool that we can be part of it.

As someone following the auto market, the difference between China V and China VI emission standards affects car purchasing strategies. The key lies in regulatory enforcement: China VI has stricter emission limits, with HC hydrocarbon limits reduced by over 30%, forcing automakers to enhance engine design. For consumers, China VI vehicles ensure hassle-free registration, especially in major cities where only China VI models will be approved after 2023. However, they come at a slightly higher cost, with new car prices potentially rising by over 5,000 RMB. In contrast, China V inventory cars are cheaper but harder to resell. It's advisable to buy China VI models during the policy transition period for better resale value and to take advantage of government subsidies for new technologies.
