What is the emission standard of the 2009 Cruze?
2 Answers
The 2009 Cruze is compliant with China's National IV emission standard. Automobiles are a mobile source of pollution, emitting primary pollutants such as carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxides, and particulate matter, all of which are environmental contaminants that need to be controlled. The sources of automobile pollutants include the exhaust pipe, crankcase, and fuel system. The Cruze is a compact car launched by Chevrolet, with dimensions of 4666 mm in length, 1807 mm in width, and 1460 mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2700 mm. From the side view, the use of lines gives the new Cruze a very three-dimensional side profile. The car presents a posture that is lower in the front and higher in the rear, creating a sense of dynamic motion akin to a dive.
I've been driving my 2009 Chevrolet Cruze for over a decade now. I remember the salesperson mentioning it met China IV emission standards when I bought it. Starting from 2008, the country gradually implemented China IV standards, and most new cars in 2009 complied with this level. In actual driving, my car is quite fuel-efficient, but the emission system occasionally triggers warnings. I've had it checked at the dealership, which confirmed the catalytic converter is China IV compliant. During annual inspections, you still need the environmental label - if it's a green label, that means China IV, don't mistake it for China III or China II. If you drive a similar older vehicle, pay attention to emission maintenance, otherwise you might not be able to enter urban restricted zones. I recommend regular maintenance of the three-way catalytic converter to reduce the risk of excessive exhaust emissions.
