What is the emission standard for the 2017 Vios?
3 Answers
2017 Vios complies with the China V emission standard. In terms of power, the Vios is equipped with two engines: one is a 1.3L naturally aspirated engine with a maximum power of 73 kW and a maximum torque of 123 Nm; the other is a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine with a maximum power of 79 kW and a maximum torque of 123 Nm. Both engines are paired with a 5-speed manual transmission or a CVT transmission. The Vios is a compact car launched by Toyota, with dimensions of 4420mm in length, 1700mm in width, and 1490mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2550mm. For the suspension, the front suspension uses a MacPherson strut independent suspension, and the rear suspension uses a torsion beam non-independent suspension.
I bought a 2017 Vios and have been driving it for a while. This car meets the China 5 emission standard, which simply means it complies with the fifth-stage national emission regulations. At that time, China 6 hadn't been widely promoted yet, so most 2017 models were like this. What does China 5 mean? It controls tailpipe pollution, with stricter limits on emissions like carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons, making it slightly better than China 4. In actual driving, I feel the car's response is decent, with no significant differences, but in the long run, China 5 cars might face no issues with annual inspections and insurance, and can still be driven in big cities with traffic restrictions. However, policies have changed now, and China 6 has become the mainstream. When upgrading your car, it's worth considering moving up to reduce pollution and avoid future hassles. I recommend owners perform regular maintenance, such as checking the exhaust system, to ensure it meets standards and keeps the car running smoothly.
As someone who frequently deals with used cars, the 2017 Vios is definitely compliant with the China 5 emission standard. This standard was quite common back then, and its market price isn't significantly affected now. The China 5 standard represents higher emission requirements, reducing harmful substances. For buyers, the benefits include relatively stable car prices and generally passing annual inspections, unlike China 4 vehicles which are more likely to be phased out. However, it's important to note that as environmental policies tighten in the future, some cities may impose restrictions on China 5 vehicles. For used car buyers, it's advisable to check local regulations. When I acquire cars, China 5 vehicles like the Vios are easy to sell with low maintenance costs, but upgrading the catalytic converter might improve efficiency. Overall, China 5 cars retain their value well, and you won't lose much even if you trade them in after a few years.
