What is the emission standard of BYD S6?
2 Answers
16-year-old BYD S6 has China V emission standard; The period from 2008 to 2009 was the transition period between China III and China IV; Most models from 2009 to 2014 are China IV; 2014 to 2015 was a transition period with both China IV and China V; After 2015, most models are China V. You can check the driving license, environmental protection page or engine, all of which are marked with the emission standard. BYD S6 is BYD's first SUV, positioned as a mid-to-high-end independent SUV. In terms of body size, its length, width and height are 4810mm, 1855mm and 1680mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 2720mm.
I've been driving a BYD S6 for several years, and its emissions are generally China IV compliant, as the car was produced in the 2010s when national regulations required new vehicles to meet the China IV standard. It's quite fuel-efficient and cost-effective for daily use, but if you're in a big city like Beijing, you might face restrictions in low-emission zones, so it's important to pay attention to environmental policies. While higher emission standards are more environmentally friendly, for us ordinary people, maintaining the engine well and changing the oil regularly can help reduce pollution emissions. If you're buying a used car, check the vehicle registration certificate or ask a 4S store to confirm the specific standard—don't just rely on the production year, as some batches may differ. Overall, China IV cars are still common on the road today, offering good value for money, and they're perfectly fine for short commutes.
