What is the emission standard for the 2018 Sagitar?
3 Answers
The 2018 Sagitar complies with the China V emission standard. Below is relevant information about emissions: 1. Automobile exhaust is mostly concentrated near the ground at about 1 meter, which is close to the human breathing zone, causing significant harm to human health. This mainly manifests as damage to human cells, reduced immunity, and increased susceptibility to respiratory and cardiovascular diseases, with children being the most affected. 2. A dirty air filter, a malfunctioning carburetor, or in fuel-injected vehicles without a carburetor, a contaminated oxygen sensor in the exhaust pipe may fail to provide accurate information to the fuel injection computer. These issues can lead to carbon buildup on the valves, affecting the sealing of the combustion chamber, resulting in decreased engine power and sluggish acceleration.
The 2018 Sagitar's emission standard is China V, which was quite common in 2018. As a car enthusiast, I enjoy researching these details. The China V standard had relatively loose emission controls at that time, such as higher limits for carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides. The stricter China VI standard only started being promoted in 2019. When buying a Sagitar, I always remind my friends to check the information on the vehicle certification, as different models may vary, but generally, the 2018 models mostly fall under the China V range. Up to now, China V vehicles occasionally face driving restrictions in cities, especially in major cities like Beijing and Shanghai, which are gradually phasing out older standard vehicles. They also tend to encounter issues during annual inspections, so I recommend regular exhaust emission tests to maintain compliance. Emission standards aren't just about environmental concerns; they also affect fuel costs. China V vehicles have relatively higher fuel consumption, and upgrading could save a lot of money in the long run, but I still quite enjoy its driving feel.
I drive a 2018 Sagitar myself, and only after a few years did I realize it meets the China 5 emission standard, which has made me more cautious in daily use. China 5 was quite common among mainstream models in 2018, and the Sagitar was no exception. Its exhaust treatment isn't as advanced, making it more susceptible to urban driving restrictions—like needing to check maps before heading to certain core areas. In terms of usage costs, I've noticed that China 5 vehicles tend to consume more fuel, which can be frustrating when gas prices rise quickly. However, maintenance isn't particularly difficult thanks to the engine's good compatibility. I've also observed that emission standards affect resale value; China 6 cars are more popular now, so I’ll likely have to lower the price when selling mine. I’d advise new buyers to confirm the specific model through a dealership or official website rather than relying solely on sales pitches, to avoid future hassles.
