What is the Emission Standard of the Chevrolet Cavalier?
2 Answers
The Chevrolet Cavalier complies with the China VI emission standard. It is a compact car. Taking the 2020 Chevrolet Cavalier as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4474mm, width 1730mm, height 1471mm, wheelbase 2600mm, minimum ground clearance 150mm, and curb weight 1120kg. The 2020 Chevrolet Cavalier features a front MacPherson strut independent suspension and a rear torsion beam non-independent suspension. It is equipped with a 1.0T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 125PS, maximum torque of 180Nm, and maximum power of 92kW. It is paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission.
I remember when I was considering buying a Chevrolet Cavalier, I specifically checked its emission standards because I was worried about failing the annual inspection or polluting the environment. The car has different versions in different years, mostly meeting China National V or China National VI standards. It depends on which model you buy—for example, those produced after 2018 might have upgraded to China National VI, which better aligns with current environmental requirements. When choosing the car, I was drawn to its relatively low fuel consumption and smooth driving experience, but the emission standards do affect the car's price and lifespan. I recommend checking the year and specifications before buying to avoid future hassles, such as China National VI cars facing fewer restrictions in urban areas. However, to be honest, with the growing popularity of new energy vehicles, going electric might be the better choice for environmental friendliness—more cost-effective and healthier in the long run.
