What is the emission standard of the Orlando?

The Orlando meets both China V and China VI emission standards. The automotive emission standards regulate the permissible levels of harmful gases emitted from vehicle exhaust, including carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxides, particulates, and soot. Taking the 2020 Orlando as an example, it is a compact car with body dimensions of 4684mm in length, 1807mm in width, and 1628mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2796mm. The 2020 Orlando features a MacPherson strut independent front suspension and a multi-link independent rear suspension. It is equipped with a 1.3T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 163PS, a maximum power of 120kW, and a maximum torque of 230Nm, paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission.
I've researched the Orlando before. Models produced after 2019 come with China 6 emission standard from the factory! China 6 is divided into Phase A and B. Orlando vehicles produced before July 2019 are China 6A, while all those manufactured after are China 6B. My 2020 model has a China 6B steel stamp mark below the instrument panel. When buying a car, remember to check the Vehicle Conformity Certificate - the 15th item clearly states the emission standard. Recently while helping a friend look at used Orlandos, I noticed China 6 versions cost about 10,000 yuan more than China 5 ones. After all, with increasingly strict environmental traffic restrictions, China 6 vehicles face no transfer limitations. Make sure to spot the 'Complies with China VIb Stage' wording on the green vehicle registration certificate!
My neighbor Brother Wang, who drives a Chevrolet Orlando, just had his annual inspection and specifically talked about emission standards. Since its 2019 facelift, this model has upgraded its emission system, and now the entire lineup complies with China VI standards. Note that there are two scenarios: vehicles produced in the first half of 2019 meet the China VI-A standard, using a regular GPF for exhaust treatment; after July 2019, they switched to China VI-B, adding an active regeneration device in the exhaust pipe. During my inspection, I looked underneath and noticed the new exhaust pipe is noticeably thicker. Used car dealers now first check the manufacturing date on the windshield—cars produced after July 2019 are more sought after, especially in cities with migration restrictions like Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou, where older standards simply can't be registered.
