What is the emission standard for the 2013 Volkswagen Jetta?
2 Answers
The 2013 Volkswagen Jetta complies with the China IV and China V emission standards. The vehicle emission standard refers to the regulations on the content of harmful gases such as carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxides, and particulate matter emitted from vehicle exhaust. Taking the Jetta VS5 as an example, this car is a compact SUV with a length, width, and height of 4419mm, 1841mm, and 1616mm respectively, and a wheelbase of 2630mm. In terms of auxiliary configurations, the Jetta VS5 features a rearview camera, adaptive cruise control, sport mode switching, engine start-stop technology, hill-start assist, keyless start system, keyless entry function, engine electronic anti-theft, automatic headlights, headlight delay-off, one-touch window control, and anti-pinch window function.
From an owner's perspective, my 2013 Volkswagen Jetta meets China IV emission standards. I remember checking the certificate when I bought the car. The environmental label is clearly marked 'China IV' and stuck on the lower right corner of the windshield. Nowadays, I need to pay attention to the impact of restricted zones, as some cities have policy restrictions on China IV vehicles. A friend of mine recently sold his same model, and used car dealers generally said China IV cars don't hold their value well, suggesting to maintain the catalytic converter to extend its lifespan. Checking is extremely convenient—just input the license plate or engine number in an app to get the results. Regular inspections are important; meeting emission standards can save money on repairs.
