What is the emission standard of the Geely Emgrand GS?
3 Answers
Geely Emgrand GS is a China National V vehicle, which refers to the fifth stage of the national motor vehicle pollutant emission standards. The Emgrand GS is a crossover SUV model under the Geely Group. While inheriting the new family design style of Geely cars, it also incorporates more modern and fashionable elements that cater to the aesthetic preferences of young consumers. The Emgrand GS offers two exterior styles: the Elegance version and the Sport version. In terms of body dimensions, it measures 4440mm in length, 1833mm in width, and 1560mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2700mm. In terms of power, the Emgrand GS is equipped with two engine options: a 1.3T engine and a 1.8L engine, both of which are independently developed by Geely.
I previously drove my friend's new Emgrand GS, which meets the China VI emission standards. Most models currently on the market are China VI B versions, with cleaner exhaust treatment, so they won't face driving restrictions in urban areas. When buying a car, it's best to check the environmental label on the vehicle or the registration certificate to confirm the emission level. Geely has done well in environmental protection in recent years. As a popular model, the Emgrand GS has lower fuel consumption after the emission upgrade, averaging around 6 liters per 100 kilometers, making it very friendly for daily commuting. If buying a used model, those before 2018 might still be China V, so you need to carefully check the emission certification. Don't buy an over-emission car just to save money, as it could cause trouble during annual inspections and negatively impact air quality. Overall, this car offers great value for money—just confirm the emissions before purchasing.
Having worked in the automotive industry for many years, I've noticed many Emgrand GS owners inquiring about emission issues. Most newer models have been upgraded to the China VI standard, especially those produced after 2020, which feature more advanced catalytic converters to reduce pollutant emissions. In contrast, older models might only meet China V or lower standards, posing potential driving restrictions in certain provinces and cities. Emission standards not only relate to environmental regulations but also affect vehicle maintenance costs. China VI vehicles have more sensors, making repairs more expensive when faults occur, but they're generally more reliable overall. I recommend owners visit authorized dealerships for exhaust emission testing with professional equipment. They can also check the green vehicle certificate or manufacturer's manual to confirm the emission level. The Emgrand GS demonstrates good durability, and its compliance with emission standards helps maintain strong resale value in the used car market.
