2007 vehicles comply with either National II or National III emission standards. Methods to check a vehicle's emission standard include: 1. Review the motor vehicle conformity certificate, which is attached to the vehicle upon delivery and clearly states the emission standard; 2. Check the accompanying vehicle list, where the emission standard can be found in the vehicle information section; 3. Examine the conformity certificate, which includes exhaust emissions and specifies the corresponding emission standard; 4. Visit the Motor Vehicle Environmental Protection website, locate the public query platform at the bottom of the homepage, enter the vehicle's VIN code and the last 6 digits of the engine number to retrieve the information; 5. Inspect the vehicle's environmental protection label, as the back of the label affixed to the front windshield clearly indicates the vehicle's emission standard.

I've driven quite a few cars from 2007, remembering that was when the China III emission standard was first implemented. Most new cars produced in 2007 met this standard. The regulation took effect on July 1, 2007, aiming to control exhaust pollution and reduce harmful emissions. When driving these older vehicles, I noticed they were noisier and had higher fuel consumption, but overall they were still reliable. Nowadays, driving them in cities might encounter restrictions—places like Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou impose many limitations on China III vehicles, affecting daily commutes. When buying a used car, always check the standard label on the nameplate to avoid misjudgment. For maintenance, regularly cleaning the fuel injectors and replacing the air filter can slightly improve emission performance. In the long run, these cars are less environmentally friendly compared to modern vehicles, which are cleaner and more efficient. However, if the car is in good condition, it can still be used for a few more years.

As an environmentally conscious individual, I've noticed that cars from 2007 typically comply with the China III emission standards, which have a significant environmental impact. While those standards represented an improvement over China II, the emission levels of pollutants like nitrogen oxides and hydrocarbons remained high, contributing to smog issues. Nowadays, China III vehicles may fail emission tests during annual inspections, especially older models requiring frequent adjustments. Many cities are promoting new energy vehicles while gradually restricting older, high-emission cars, making them inconvenient to drive. To confirm your vehicle's standard, check the emission level on the vehicle registration certificate. I recommend owners who frequently drive in major cities to consider upgrading to vehicles with higher emission standards - it's both more convenient and eco-friendly. With long-term commitment, we'll achieve cleaner air faster.

I have a car from 2007 and know it meets the China III emission standard. The seller told me when I bought it, and the rating can be seen on the small nameplate on the car body. The standard was implemented in 2007, and most cars caught up with this wave. There are no major issues in daily use, but the exhaust test during the annual inspection is stricter, and occasionally failing it can be a bit troublesome. When checking, go to a professional shop to test the emission system. Some cities have started to restrict such cars, so if you plan to keep it for a long time, you need to maintain it frequently. It's also more cost-effective to buy a new car, as modern ones have lower emissions and are more fuel-efficient.
