What is the emission standard for cars produced in 2017?
2 Answers
17-year production cars are National V. Nationwide, there are no traffic restriction policies targeting the National V emission standard. The National Fifth Stage Motor Vehicle Pollutant Emission Standard, or National V standard, is essentially an upgraded version of National III and IV standards, aimed at further reducing vehicle exhaust pollution emissions for greater environmental protection. Methods to determine if your car meets National V standards: 1. You can check the configuration parameters table on relevant websites for the environmental standard based on the car model, which is generally accurate, or consult the dealer. 2. You can also check the vehicle's conformity certificate or environmental label.
When I bought a car last year, I specifically researched this issue. Vehicles produced in 2017 mostly comply with the China V emission standards, as the nationwide implementation of China V was fully enforced in 2017. Working in environmental testing, I remember all new cars back then had to display the China V label. However, be aware that some remote areas might have had transitional period vehicles, but manufacturers completely switched to China V production after January 2017. When buying a used 2017 car now, ask the previous owner to show the environmental label for confirmation. China V vehicles can still be driven in restricted zones for about five or six years without issues, but if policies tighten in coming years, it might affect resale value. Before purchasing, it's best to check the local environmental protection bureau's website.
