What is the emission standard of the 2009 Buick Excelle?
2 Answers
2009 Buick Excelle is compliant with China IV emission standard, which regulates the permissible levels of harmful gases emitted from vehicle exhaust, including carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxides, particulate matter, and soot. The 2009 Buick Excelle is a compact car with the following dimensions: length 4515mm, width 1725mm, height 1445mm, wheelbase 2600mm, trunk capacity 405l, and fuel tank capacity 60l. It is equipped with a 1.6L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum power of 78kW at 6000rpm and a maximum torque of 146Nm.
I've always been fascinated by automotive history, especially the evolution of emission standards. The 2009 Buick Excelle basically met the China III emission standards because China fully implemented China III in 2007 and didn't upgrade to China IV until 2010. At that time, China III was considered mainstream, and vehicle exhaust treatment was relatively simple. Models like the Excelle had engines designed for practicality, and emission reduction technology wasn't as advanced as it is today. I remember that the China III standards had relatively lenient requirements for carbon dioxide and particulate emissions, but looking back now, if you keep driving such old cars, the accumulated pollutants would affect air quality. If you want to learn more, check the environmental label on the vehicle or look at the vehicle qualification certificate to confirm it's China III, so you won't be misjudged when selling the car.
