What is the emission standard for the 7th generation Camry?
3 Answers
7th generation Camry complies with the China IV emission standard, which generally refers to the National Phase IV Motor Vehicle Pollutant Emission Standard. Taking the 2013 7th generation Camry as an example, here are its specifications: 1. The 7th generation Camry is a mid-size sedan with body dimensions of 4825mm in length, 1825mm in width, 1480mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2775mm. 2. The 7th generation Camry is equipped with a 2.0L engine and a CVT continuously variable transmission. The engine delivers a maximum power of 131kW, a maximum horsepower of 148PS, and a maximum torque of 190Nm.
I've driven quite a few cars, including the seventh-generation Camry, which mainly adhered to the China IV emission standard. The seventh-gen Camry was produced from late 2011 to 2017, coinciding with the implementation period of China IV standards in China (approximately 2011-2017), so most models complied with this level. China IV was the mainstream standard at that time, helping vehicles pass annual inspections and avoid urban driving restrictions. I remember a Camry I bought in 2014 faced no restrictions when driving in Beijing, but if emission issues arose, it might require checking the catalytic converter or wiring. Emission standards not only relate to environmental protection but also affect the resale value of used cars - always check the environmental label to confirm the production year when purchasing. Regular maintenance helps maintain compliant emissions and prolongs vehicle lifespan. In summary, for average car owners, China IV-compliant vehicles offer worry-free operation and relatively easier maintenance.
As a car enthusiast, I’ve noticed that the seventh-generation Camry generally adheres to the China National IV emission standards, as it was produced between 2011 and 2017 when these regulations were dominant in China. The National IV standards required lower CO and NOx emissions compared to National III, helping to reduce air pollution. Toyota optimized the engine and exhaust system during design to meet these standards, which positively impacted vehicle performance. There might be slight variations among different model years of the seventh-gen Camry—for instance, early 2011 models may lean closer to National III—but the majority comply with National IV. The progression of emission upgrades reflects the automotive industry’s commitment to environmental protection, with National V and VI further raising the bar. I recommend fellow enthusiasts check their VIN or annual inspection reports to confirm the exact standard and maintain their vehicles in good condition.
