2 Answers
The emission standard of the Volkswagen Santana Vista is China IV. Taking the 2010 Santana Vista as an example, here are its specifications: 1. Body dimensions: length is 4687mm, width is 1700mm, height is 1450mm, wheelbase is 2656mm, minimum ground clearance is 115mm, and curb weight is 1210kg. 2. Suspension: front suspension is MacPherson independent suspension, rear suspension is compound torsion beam non-independent suspension. 3. Powertrain: equipped with a 1.6L naturally aspirated engine, maximum horsepower is 95PS, maximum torque is 140Nm, maximum power is 70kW, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission.
I've been driving older cars for a while and have quite a memory of the Santana Zhijun. I looked it up, and it basically meets the China IV emission standards, meaning it has stricter control over pollutants emitted, making it much more environmentally friendly than older models like China III or China II. I remember my friend had a used 2010 model, and during the annual inspection, its emission indicators fell within the China IV range, indicating it could reduce CO2 and other harmful gases in the exhaust. Driving such a car in the city is beneficial for improving air quality, but it also means you need to be more careful with maintenance, like the filters, or the system might develop issues. I recommend checking the VIN code to confirm the emission standard before buying a used car to avoid misjudgment, as standards might vary slightly for different model years. Overall, China IV is a step forward, being both practical and not lagging behind in environmental protection.
