What is the emission standard of Honda XRV?
2 Answers
Honda XRV models before 2019 comply with the China V emission standard, while models from 2019 onwards meet the China VI standard. If your region has not yet implemented the China VI standard, you can purchase a China V compliant car. If your region has already enforced the China VI standard, you need to buy a car that meets the China VI requirements. The Dongfeng Honda XRV is a compact SUV launched by Dongfeng Honda on November 18, 2014, sharing the same platform as the GAC Honda Vezel. It is equipped with a 1.8L or 1.5L engine, paired with a 6-speed manual or CVT transmission. The Dongfeng Honda XRV is the second model derived from the Honda CONCEPT-V and shares the same platform with the GAC Honda Vezel. In terms of dimensions, the XRV measures 4328*1772*1610mm in length, width, and height, with a wheelbase of 2610mm, identical to that of the GAC Honda Vezel.
I've been running an auto repair shop for over a decade and have worked on many Honda XR-Vs. The emission standards of this car depend on the specific year. Models produced before July 2019 were mostly China 5 compliant, especially obvious with older versions like the 2017 model. But starting from the second half of 2019, production gradually upgraded to China 6 standards. The current 2023 models all meet China 6B standards. If you're unsure about your car's emission standard, here's a tip: check the Vehicle Conformity Certificate or the Environmental Protection Vehicle List for the most accurate information. Also, note that policies vary between cities - major cities like Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen have long required China 6 standards, so pay attention to emission standards when buying used cars. In terms of driving experience, China 6 vehicles don't feel much different, they just have stricter environmental requirements.
