What is the emission standard for the 2009 Excelle?

[DiSilas]

The 2009 Excelle complies with the China IV emission standard. Here is an introduction to the Excelle: 1. Overview: The Buick Excelle is an entry-level family sedan launched by SAIC-GM Buick, with its prototype being the latest globally developed mid-size sedan by General Motors. 2. Powertrain: It is equipped with a new-generation 1.3L Ecotec dual-injection engine, paired with a CVT intelligent continuously variable transmission, delivering a maximum power of 79kW and a maximum torque of 133Nm, with a combined fuel consumption as low as 4.6L per 100km. 3. Safety: In addition to the standard ESP electronic stability control system, it includes electronic safety assistance systems such as HSA hill-start assist and SLSC straight-line stability control system.

I recall that the 2009 Buick Excelle typically met the China III emission standards. At that time, the Chinese auto market was transitioning from China II to China III, and most regions were still implementing the China III standard in 2009. Therefore, as a popular model of that era, the Excelle mostly complied with China III upon leaving the factory. This standard affects exhaust pollution control—for example, it allows higher nitrogen oxide emissions compared to China IV. Nowadays, driving such older vehicles requires ensuring the catalytic converter is intact to pass the annual environmental inspection. You can verify specific details by checking the vehicle identification number (VIN) on the official website or app of the environmental protection bureau.

I previously owned a 2009 Buick Excelle, and the owner mentioned it meets China III emission standards. When purchasing a used car, remember to check the environmental label or the emission standard noted on the back of the vehicle license. For China III vehicles, pay attention to spark plug and fuel injector cleanliness to avoid excessive exhaust emissions. These cars face restrictions in the restricted zones of first-tier cities, so it's advisable to avoid core urban areas during daily use to prevent fines. The driving experience is decent, but emission policies are subject to significant changes.

From an environmental perspective, the 2009 Excelle meets the China III emission standard. China III vehicles have higher hydrocarbon emissions, which can exacerbate urban smog. It is encouraged for more people to choose newer models such as China VI vehicles or new energy vehicles to reduce environmental pressure. Regular exhaust emission testing to ensure compliance is crucial.

The 2009 Buick Excelle meets the China III emission standard. This is based on engine control technology that limits the release of pollutants such as CO and HC. The vehicle design includes an electronic fuel injection system and oxygen sensors to regulate emissions. During maintenance, check the catalytic converter to avoid faults affecting the standard.
