What is the emission standard of the Baojun 560?
3 Answers
The Baojun 560 complies with the China V emission standard, which is equivalent to the Euro 5 emission standard currently in effect in Europe. Following the implementation of the China V standard, the China VI standard has been put on the agenda and will be divided into two phases: China VI a and China VI b. The Baojun 560 measures 4620 mm in length, 1820 mm in width, and 1755 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2750 mm. It features front-wheel drive, MacPherson strut front suspension, multi-link rear suspension, and a unibody structure.
When the Baojun 560 was first launched around 2015, it basically met the China IV emission standard (National IV). As an automotive history enthusiast, I have followed the evolution of this model. At that time, China was transitioning from National III to National IV, and the Baojun 560, as a popular SUV from SAIC-GM-Wuling, complied with the requirements of that era. After 2017, with the upgrade to the National V (China V) emission standard, some later models might have been updated, but the main variants remained National IV-compliant. This could impact used car transactions or traffic restriction policies, as major cities impose strict limits on high-emission vehicles. Therefore, I recommend owners check their manuals or environmental labels to confirm the specific year. The upgrade in emission standards aims to reduce exhaust pollution. The Baojun 560's design balanced cost and environmental considerations—while not the most advanced, it was highly practical. When purchasing or maintaining the vehicle, it’s advisable to check official data to avoid issues, as National IV vehicles may face restrictions in certain regions.
I've driven my friend's Baojun 560 and it felt quite familiar. This model usually meets the China IV emission standard, with most being 2015 versions. As an ordinary car owner, I've encountered similar issues – in the used car market, dealers often emphasize it's China IV because production stopped before the new standards came out. Emission standards affect insurance and annual inspections. For example, China IV vehicles might face driving restrictions in big cities, so regular maintenance is necessary to ensure exhaust meets requirements. China's emission policies upgrade quickly, with the China IV era focusing on nitrogen oxide control. Though Baojun 560's engine is ordinary, it's durable. If you drive this car, I suggest getting a free environmental label check at the 4S store to avoid exceeding standards and fines. Daily driving requires attention to fuel quality and driving habits to reduce emissions. While it's not high-performance, it's good for commuting. Emission data can be found online or through owner forums sharing experiences.
