What is the emission standard of BYD S6?
3 Answers
BYD S6 complies with the China 5 emission standard. Here is some extended information about BYD S6: 1. The BYD S6 is a 5-door, 5-seat SUV with body dimensions of 4810mm in length, 1855mm in width, 1725mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2720mm. 2. The BYD S6 is equipped with a 1.5L turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum power of 113 kW at 5200 rpm, and a maximum torque of 240 Nm between 1750 to 3500 rpm. 3. It features MacPherson independent front suspension and multi-link independent rear suspension.
Like many car enthusiasts, I've driven the BYD S6. The emission standard of this car depends on the specific year. Most early models, such as those launched in 2010, comply with the China IV standard. Before buying the car, I specifically consulted a friend and confirmed that China IV means cleaner exhaust emissions, especially in first-tier cities where it helps avoid driving restrictions. However, it's important to note that emission standards vary by production year—older models might drop to China III, while newer ones might reach China V. The one I bought in 2013 clearly had China IV marked on the registration certificate. I recommend checking the registration certificate copy when buying a used car to avoid issues during annual inspections. By the way, emission standards aren't just about environmental protection—they also affect fuel costs. China IV cars have slightly lower fuel consumption on long trips, but don't skimp on maintenance. Regularly replacing the air filter helps maintain stable emissions. Overall, the S6 is quite suitable for family use, so don't worry too much about the standard.
As a technician who has worked on many cars, I've noticed that most BYD S6 models have emission systems designed for China IV standards. This standard indicates low emissions of nitrogen oxides and particulate matter, generally met by vehicles manufactured after 2010. If your car is second-hand, check the emission label in the engine bay or read the data via the OBD port to confirm. The advantage of China IV vehicles is their durability, but maintenance shouldn't be neglected. I often recommend regular cleaning of fuel injectors and catalytic converters to prevent carbon buildup from causing emission issues. For older models downgraded to China III standards, replacing spark plugs can improve performance. Emission standards significantly impact driving costs—China IV vehicles have lower road risks and require fewer repairs to the environmental components. As a side note, don't overlook the emission test during annual inspections.
