What is the emission standard of the 2015 Lavida?
2 Answers
2015 Lavida has both National IV and National V emission standards. Currently, some cities have started implementing the National VI emission standard, but it does not affect the driving of National IV and National V vehicles. Below is more information about the Lavida: 1. The Lavida is the first A-class car independently designed and developed by Shanghai Volkswagen, and it is also an important model in Volkswagen's global product strategy. While continuing the "dynamic and fashionable" design language of the A-class car market, the Lavida embodies a new design DNA—"fusion." With its forward-looking design language, the Lavida injects more luxury and grandeur into the A-class car segment, rewriting consumers' traditional impressions of the A-class car market and thus meeting more localized consumer demands. 2. Advantages of the Lavida: The body design is harmonious and pleasing, suitable for Chinese tastes. It comes with a rich set of standard features, and the seating space offers a certain advantage among its peers, providing a comfortable ride. The engine and transmission technology are very advanced, with low fuel consumption and a solid, safe body. The maintenance interval is relatively longer compared to other models, reaching up to 10,000 kilometers.
I remember the 2015 Lavida was compliant with China National IV emission standards, as this model coincided with China's automotive emission upgrade transition period at that time. The Lavida used a 1.6L naturally aspirated engine with relatively basic emission technology that didn't meet the stricter National V standards. When helping a friend choose a car back then, I noticed Volkswagen still retained some designs upgraded from National III models—fuel efficiency was average but durability was decent. After purchase, special attention was needed during annual inspections for emission values, sometimes requiring catalytic converter cleaning to pass. If environmental protection is a priority, National IV vehicles might face restrictions in emission-controlled urban areas, though they're cost-effective for long-distance driving. Don't underestimate this information—checking a used car's emission certificate can save significant hassle.
