2015 Lavida meets both National IV and National V emission standards. Automobile emission standards regulate the content of harmful gases emitted from vehicle exhaust, including CO (carbon monoxide), HC plus NOx (hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides), and PM (particulate matter, soot). The 2015 Lavida is a compact car launched by SAIC Volkswagen, with dimensions of 4605mm in length, 1765mm in width, and 1460mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2610mm. It is equipped with a 1.6L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum power of 81kw, paired with a 5-speed manual or 6-speed automatic transmission.

The 2015 Lavida basically meets the China V emission standard, which I remember clearly because I often study car data manuals. Emission standards are related to environmental protection and fuel consumption. China V represents the fifth-level standard, which reduces nitrogen oxide and particulate emissions by more than 20% compared to the previous China IV standard. The 2015 Lavida complied with the policy requirements at that time, and its optimized engine is more fuel-efficient, making it quite smooth to drive. If you are concerned about emission issues, you can check the label in the engine compartment or consult a 4S store for confirmation. This standard also affects annual inspections—China V vehicles have a higher pass rate and won’t be frequently held up during inspections.

I drove a 2015 Lavida for several years. The main reason I bought it was because it met the China 5 emission standards, which saved me a lot of hassle in daily use. The lower fuel consumption significantly reduced my monthly fuel expenses, especially during city traffic jams. Moreover, the China 5 standard made the car hold its value better. When I sold it two years ago, the used car price was quite good, noticeably higher than those older China 4 standard vehicles. Remember to check the emission information on the vehicle registration certificate when choosing a car to ensure you don't make a mistake.

From an environmental perspective, I am very satisfied that the 2015 Lavida meets the China V emission standards, as it effectively reduces air pollution. The China V standard requires strict control of harmful substances in exhaust emissions, and promoting such vehicles helps improve urban smog. I recommend prioritizing China V or higher standards when choosing a car to collectively protect the environment. Additionally, regular maintenance, such as timely air filter replacements, is essential to keep the engine clean.
